Offers Cooperation.
It may be, on the other hand
that the Congress will wish to
pass legislation establishing spe-
cific terms and conditions with
reference to the operation of the
steel mills by the Government
Sound legislation of this character
might be very desirable.
On the basis of the facts that
are known to me at this time,
do not believe that immediate
Congressional action is essential;
but would, of course, be glad tc
cooperate in developing any
legislative proposals which the
Congress may wish to consider.
If the Congress does not deem
it necessary to act at this time,
shall continue to do all that is
within my power to keep the stee
industry operating, and at the
same time make every effort tx
bring about settlement of the
dispute so the mills can be re.
turned to their private owners a.
soon as possible.

The letters were unanimous in
urging restoration of the $3.50 900

Conqress MESSAGE on Steel

The tert of President Tru-
mans message to Congress to-
day on the steel strike tollolDs::
To the Congress of the United
States:
The Congress is undoubtedly
aware of the recent events which
have taken place in connection
with the management-labor dis
pute in the steel industry. These
events eliminated in the action
which was taken last night to
provide for temporary operation of
the steel mills by the Govern
ment.
I took this action with the ut
most reluctance. The idea OF
Government operation Of the steel
mills is thoroughly distasteful to
me and ! want to see it ended as
soon as possible. However. in the
situation which confronted me
yesterday, I felt that I could make
no other choice. The other al
ternatives appeared to be even
Worse-so much worse that ! could
not accept them.
Alternative Unthinkable.
One alternative would have
been to permit a shutdown in the
steel industry. The effects of such
a shutdown would have been SO
immediate and damaging with re-
spect to our efforts to support our
armed forces and to protect our
national security that it made
this alternative unthinkable.
The only way that I know Of
other than Government operation
by which a steel shutdown could
have been avoided was to grant
the demands Of the steel industry
for a large price increase. I be-
Ilieved, and the officials in charge
of our sterilization industries be-
lieved, that this would have
wrecked our sterilization pro-
gram. I am unwilling to accept
the incalculable damage which
might be done to our country by
following such a course.
Accordingly. it was my judg.
ment that Government operation
of the steel mills for a tempo.
rary period was the least unde.
Sirable of the courses of actor
which lay open. In the circum
stances, I believed it to be anc
now believe 1t to be, my duty
and within my powers as Presi
dent to follow that course O.
action.
Problem Up to Congress.
1t may be that Congress viii
deem some other course to b,
wiser. 1t may be that the Congress
will feel We should give in t,
the demands of the steel industr,
for an exorbitant price increas
and take the consequences so ia
as resulting imitation is con
cerned.
1t may be that the Congress will
feel the Government should tr,
to force the steel workers to con
Itinue to work for the steel com
panies for another long perio,
without a contract, even though
1.-THE steel workers have alread
voluntarily remained at wor
without contract for 100 day
In effort to reach an orderl
settlement of their difference
with management.
1t may even be that the Con
gress will feel that we should per
NIT a shutdown of the steel in
dustry, although that Immediate
would endanger the safety of GU
fighting forces abroad and weake
the whole structure of our nations
