Steel Men
Tell Court
Of Dispute
! WASHINGTON I The steel in
dustry told the Buprme Court Sat
urday thai government seizure of
ihe mills was "for the purpose of
settling a labor dispute by execu
tive flat. Inconsistent with and con
trary to the remedy expressly pro
vided by Congress to meet such a
situation."
At the same time the ClO-Unlted
Steelworkers told the high court
their pay talks with the companies
were only a sham. The union said
It was repeatedly told the outcome
depended on the results of price
negotiations with the government.
It said that situation made the steel
crisis a price dispute instead of s
labor dispute.
The opposing contentions were
set out in briefs filed with the Su
preme Court preparatory to oral
arguments Monday on a govern
ment appeal from a decision by
U.S. District Judge Davis .A. Fine
that the seizure of the plants was
Illegal.
Judge Pine Issued an injunction
agaiust the seizure but that order
has .been stayed pending appeal
and the Industry still is technically
in government hands.
Just before ihe hriefs Were filed
fin the steel case,. Justice Reed de
clined to stay a no-strike order is
sued In Cleveland against three un
ions of workers on the nation's rail
roads, which also are under seizure.
The unions the Engineers, Fire
men and Conductors also asked
the court to pass on their argu
ments against seizure of the car
riers at the same time it decides
the steel case. - -
