saying this could not be done with.

He did not elaborate on his press
conference statement on steel seiz-

had said the administration was
aiming for settlement of the dispute
by Feb. 10 before resorting to sci

Mr.. Truman as the deadline for
recommendations from a special
fact-finding panel for settlement

Murray left settlement of the steel

strike control bill armed with
formidable teeth won House
test vote today by such an empha-
tic margin that leaders predicted
it, or some similar measure,
would pass the chamber.
Members voted 258 to ia to
consider the bill as substitute for
fact-finding legislation asked by
President Truman.
Offered by Rep. Case (R-SD) the
bill would make unions liable to
injunctions, outlaw violent picket
ing or organized boycott. 1t would
provide for civil suits, against
either employers or workers vlo-
lating labor contracts.
1t also would create Nation
al Labor-M Management Meditation
Board to help settle disputes which
it believed affected the public
interest. Strikes would be barred
for 30 days, while the board sought
to settle the disputes.
Voting to- begin debate on it
forthwith were 152 Republicans and
LOG Democrats, mostly southerners.
Against were 81 Democrats. Is
Republicans and both minor party
members.
The bill was attacked by sup
porters of labor unions as union
breaking bill but praised by its
sponsors as necessary to protect
the public from damage due to
labor strife.
House leaders told newsmen
privately that they looked for
House approval within few days
of the far-reaching bill, or one
closely following its lines. In that
case, it's foes count on the Senate
to defeat it or, as last resort,
on the possibility Of Presidential
