said the CIO steelworkers and the

sume negotiations in Pittsburgh
Sunday morning in another peace
eiiort.
Steelman issued a statement
from the White House Saturday
which said both CIO President
PhiliD Murray and chief Industry
officials had agreed to his sug
gestion that thev make anotner try
at settling the crippling 48-day
steel strike.
The White House was known to
have decided upon the new peace

COMMITTEE
m.i. .Ammittpp Is widely expect
ed to back up Murray's refusal
to make any further concessions
on the crucial union shop issue
in the dispute.
The committee also mlgnt asx
u.iav tn take a Dosition on a
new contract even iiumc:
that of the industry.
Steelman' brief announcement
said
-r -have asked the steel com -
panies and Mr. Murray to renew
joint negotiations in Pittsburgh to
morrow. The parties have agreed
to do so and to make a further
elfort to reach agreement. The
meeting will begin at 10 a.m.
Philip Murray. CIO and Steel
workers Union president, was re
ported solidly backed bv his lieu
tenants in his refusal to comnro-
mise further on the demand for a
union shop a form of compul
sory unionism.
One union source said the Watre-
Policy Committee might ask Mur
ray to retrace some of the ground
he had given up through compro
mise and take a new position even
further away from the industry's
stand.
The steel industry appeared to
be just as firm. In Chicago, Clar

Inland Steel Company and a lead
ing spokesman for the industry.
said "strong public opinion" is
urging: his company "to stand fast
and not sign a contract that will
prevent a non-union man from
working."
POSSIBLE SEIZURE
The possible seizure of a portion
of the Idle mills under the Selec
tive Service Act was reportedly
taken under active consideration
after a White House conference
Thursday between Dr. John R.
Steelman, acting chief mobilizer,
and government production and
defense officials.
President Truman seised the in
dustry on April 8 under his claimed
Inherent constitutional powers.
Two months later, on June 2. the
Supreme Court in a 6 to 3 opinion
held the seizure unconstitutional
and ordered the mills returned to
private ownership
GROUNDWORK
A great deal of groundwork
would be necessary if tne govern
ment did decide to attempt seizure
of a small part of tire industry
under the 1948 Selective Service
Act. The Defense Department
would have to place direct orders
with struck plants. If these were
not filled within a specified time,
the President could seize the mills.
The seizure provision of the Se
lective Service Act was not de
signed to deal with deadlocked la
bor disputes. Nor did the govern
ment consider it a practical solu
tion at the time of the first seizure.
