He could invoke the Taft Hartley Act to seek an 80 day injunction or refer the crisis to the Wage Stabilization Board. Either path risks delaying a possible steel strike around New Year’s Day and may impact a looming coal strike.

Italy Rearmed on Large Scale as Allies Waive Peace Treaty
The United States and Atlantic allies waived postwar limits on Italy’s armed forces in a move led by Secretary of State Acheson.

Britain France and others joined in endorsing Italy’s appeal for treaty changes, signaling a shift likely to draw Moscow’s objections but not alter the waiver's effect. Italy now decides its own force size within the waived framework.
