House expected to press Taft Hartley request on steel strike
Washington reports Republicans foresee House joining Senate in asking President Truman to invoke the Taft Hartley Act to halt the steel strike. Administration aides say votes to block the move are lacking while the National Production Authority says CIO United Steelworkers agreed to an emergency plan to ship steel to military uses. Truman says he may invoke the 80 day anti strike provision but notes Congress can only advise and cannot compel him. The request appears as an amendment to pending wage price rent control legislation as the House aims to act by nightfall.
