recall election. ,
A deadline provided by the

termed persecution by newspa

it appeared almost certain El

WHAT PRESIDENT CAN'T DO
Why a Steel Strike?
T-H Act Not Involved
By JAMES MARLOW
Washington, Oct. 4 You may be wondering: why Is there
a iteel strike? I thought the Taft-Hartley act was supposed to stop
big strikes?
First, T-H can't stop any strike but can only delay one. Second,
President Truman hasn't used T-H in the steel case but still can if
he wishes to.
The strike, which started Oe- Tne irst 60 of the 80 days
tober 1, already was delayed 78 . . . . . ..
day. by presidential action. If are intcnded to lve more llme
Mr. Truman wants to use T-H:for ,he union and a company to
h. can itnn it for another 1 reach a settlement. Meanwhile.
80 days. j"ie President calls back his T-H
mwru anu bskb lur a rcpui fc uii
the latest developments.
This report must be made
within the lirSt 60 of those 80
days covered by the no-strike
order. The president makes the
report public. If, at the end of
the 60 days, there's still no set'
tlement, the national labor re
lations board steps into the picture.
This is an explanation of what
has been done and can be done.
The CIO steelworkers were
supposed to strike at midnight,
July IS. On that day Mr. Tru
man appointed a three-man fact
finding board to look into the
case, hear both sides, and rec
ommend a solution.
So, until the board could fin
ish its work, the steelworkers
and steel owners agreed thcre'd
be no shutdown or strike. The
board reported back to the pres
ident September 10.
A couple of times between
September 10 and October 1 a
strike seemed near, but was de
layed upon the president's re
quest. When it finally started
October 1, 78 days had elapsed
since Mr. Truman appointed his
fact-finding board July 15.
This 78-day delay was volun
tary on both sides, the union and
the steel companies. There was
no law .compelling them to agree
to the president's request for de
lay. '
If he had used T-H, Mr. Tru
man could have delayed the
strike by law. This is how T-H
would have worked in this case:
First, Mr. Truman would have
had to decide a steel strike was
a national emergency, endan
gering the nation's health and
safety.
Then he'd appoint a board of
fact-finders to study the dispute.
Then it reports to the president
on the facts.
(There's a difference between
the T-H type of fact-finding
board and the one used in the
present steel case. T-H boards
can't make recommendations.
The one in this case, not cov
ered by law, could and did.)
After receiving the T-H
board's report, the president can
tell the attorney general to get
a U.S. court injunction (order)
forbidding a strike for 80 days.
It has 15 days
elapse of the first 60 to hold
a vote among the union mem
bers to see whether they even
though their leaders reject the
idea want to accept a compa
ny's latest offer.
That uses up 75 of the 80 days.
In the next five days the NRLB
must tell the attorney general
the result of the vote. Then, with
the 80 days used up, he must
go into court and have the no
strike order dismissed.
At that point, after 80 days'
delay, a union is free to strike.
At this point the president
sends a full report to congress.
Then it's up to congress to take
any special action it wishes, by
after the passing some special art, to de-i
lay i strike further. This hasn't
happened yet.
So, although the steel strike
was delayed 78 days without
benefit of T-H, Mr. Truman can
still use T-H to stop it for an
other 80 days by going through
the various steps outlined here
