Steel Seizure Hearing
Set Next Thursday

District Court today set next
Thursday for hearing on a move
to stop seizure of the steel mills.
The hearing before Judge David
A. Pine will be on the Youngs-
town Sheet & Tube Co.'S petition
for an injunction to halt Secre-
tary of Commerce Sawyer from
carrying out the April 8 seizure
order.
Six other steel companies al
ready have filed similar petitions
challenging President Truman's
executive order. Two of them,
the Armco Steel Co. of Middle
town, Ohio, and the Sheffield
Steel Corp. of Kansas City, Mo-,
filed a joint petition today.
The Youngstown Sheet g. Tube
Co. and two other companies were
unsuccessful April 9 in seeking a
temporary restraining order to
halt the seizure. Judge Alexander
Holtzof denied their petition.
The hearing scheduled for next
Thursday will deal not only with
Youngstown's request for a pre-
liminary injunction but also with
its move for a declaratory judg-
ment that the seizure was illegal
Setting of the hearing date
came sooner than expected. It
was made possible because the

New Negotiations Fail
BY the Asso.ioted Press

DENVER, April 17.-Leaders Of
three major oil workers unions
have set April 80 as the date for
Ia strike unless negotiations pro-
duce a satisfactory wage settle
ment.
The union leaders represent the
iCIO Oil Workers International
AFL Oil Industry locals and in
dependent unions.
The oil industry's case for wage
increases was abandoned recently
by the Wage Sterilization Board
and referred back to the COM
panies and unions for further
bargaining.
The strike could be expected to
affect the defense effort, motor
transport and general industry.

Senate Test Vote
is Near on Seizure
'0f Steel Industry

President Truman's seizure of
the steel industry may be put to
a test vote in the Senate today or
tomorrow.
Republicans. who charge Mr..
Truman had no authority for his
action, have offered an amend
ment to a pending appropria-
ton bill, to prohibit the use of
any of the funds it contains to
enforce the steel order.
Actually, none of the money in
this deficiency bill has anything
to do with operation of the steel
mills by Secretary of Commerce
Sawyer. The only Commerce
funds in the bill are for aviation
and highway purposes.
Democratic Opposition.
Republican Floor Leader Bridges
said a vote on the amendment
however. would give Congress a
chance to express itself. Demo-
Gratis are expected to oppose the
amendment on the ground it is
irrelevant.
There also will be a test on a
practice some lawmakers have de-
nounced for years-wiping out
previous money-saving votes by
financing the same projects
through deficiency bills.
Senator Douglas, Democrat, OF
Illinois, plans to force this by Of
fering an amendment to knock
out $50 million of a $69.5 million
deficiency allotment for Federal
highway aid.
Last year Congress cut the allot-
|ment for Federal road spending
by sos million.
MAIN Part of Economy"
Senator Douglas said the 500. s
million carried in the deficiency
bill plus carryovers of $23.5 mil

for the current fiscal year." end

The $50 million reduction he
proposes, the Illinois Senator said
would hold the main part of the
economy we tried to make last

If We permit this supplemental
appropriation to go through un-
cut" he added, 1--WE can kiss the

Congressional Attack
On WSB Seen in New
Union Shop Decision
BY the Associoted Press

Another hot fight between the
Wage Sterilization Board and
Congress simmered today follow
ing the boards latest union shop
recommendation, this one cover
ing $4,000 workers in two big air.
craft companies.
Chairman Nathan Feinsinger
called news conference today to
discuss the boards new decision,
similar to the steel dispute recon-
mendation that brought bitter
reaction.
With industry members dissent
ing, the board late yesterday rec
commended that Douglas and
Boeing aircraft companies nego-
tiate a union shop provision with
workers in their plants at Long
Beach, Calf, and Wichita, Kans.
The boards action has not been
officially announced.
Target of Inquiries.
The board has been severely
criticized in Congress and is the
target of several Investigations as
a result of its union shop pro-
posal in the big steel dispute.
The union shop is a form of
compulsory unionism-all work
ers for a firm covered by a con-
tract which has that provision
must join a specified union.
Mr.. FeinSinger has repeatedly
stated his board must solve all
the issues in any dispute case sent
it by President Truman. The
union shop was a union demand
in the steel case and in both the
aircraft cases.
But some members of Congress
say a Government board has no
right to make any recommended
ton at all on the controversial
union shop: that it should be de-
cided only by free collective bar
gaining.
Hits Use of Power.
Senator Morse, Reublican. of
Oregon, member of the War La
Dor Board of World War II and
regarded as one of organized la
bor'S best friends among Repub-
llcan Senators, told Mr.. Fem
singer Tuesday that no Govern
ment board should have the power
to propose the union shop in a
time of emergency.
Representative Allen, Repub-
Ican, of Illinois is one of several
congressman who wants the board
stripped of its power to make rec
concentrations on non-money is
Sues-that is, he wants it to con-
fine all its proposals to wages,
holiday pay, overtime and the like.
Labor unions. on the other
hand, have consistently held that
the board should have the power
to recommend on .all aspects of
a dispute. Mr.. Feinsinger con-
tends that the executive order
giving the board authority to
recommend settlements means a
settlement of "all issues in the
dispute"
Recommendation Held Up.
Its all one ball of wax" he
says.
Both the Douglas and Boeing
disputes were referred to the
board by President Truman
months ago to avert threatened
strikes. The board had already

Price Stabilizer Ellis Arnall said
yesterday he was hurt and
could hardly believe my ears"
when former Defense Mobilizer
Charles E. Wilson told him the
steel industry would be allowed a
large price increase.
Mr.. Arnall sadi he hadn't been
consulted until he was advised of
the decision. He added, "and I
really thought the fellow who was
price stabilizer was supposed to
be price stabilizer."
Mr.. Arnall gave a National
Press Club luncheon his inside
version of events which led to Mr..
Wilson'S resignation March 80.
The proposed price increase was
never granted. This continued a
deadlock in the steel wage dis
pute, and the government even
tually seized the industry to avert
a strike.

Both companies are certain to
