The steel companies today asked
the United States Court of APP
peals to bar the Government from
raising steel workers wages while
holding the seized plants.
The full bench of the appellate
court convened again this morn
ing to hear arguments on the
petition by the steel companies to
modify the stay order issued by
that court yesterday. That order
postponed the effective date-at
least until tomorrow-of District
Court Judge David A. Pines ruling
directing return Of the steel mills
to their owners.
The appellate court took the
petition under advisement at noon
and indicated it would rule
promptly.
Meanwhile, Secretary of Com
merce Sawyer, Government boss
Of the seized industry, conferred
briefly with President Truman on
the steel situation this morning.
The White House refused to give
details of the talk.
Talks With Steelman.
Later. Mr.. Sawyer held a
lengthy meeting with John R.
Steelman, assistant to the Presi-
dent; Charles Murphy, presi-
Dental counsel, and David H.
Stowe, an administrative assistant.
The Commerce Secretary was to
hold a news conference this aft
ernoon.
There was speculation that Mr..
Sawyer might ask the CIO United
SteelWorkers and the steel COM
panies to resume contract nego-
tiations. Peace talks were broken
of two weeks ago.
Although the industry was back
under Government control, the
administration faced a problem in
persuading the $4,000 striking
workers to return to work.
Actually the steelworkerS have
been striking against the Govern
ment since early last night. 1t
was at that time the Court of
Appeals, in 5-to-4 decision,
stayed Judge Pines order.
The injunction ordering the
Government to release the mills
President Truman seized April 8
to head of a strike was issued by
Judge Pine. For about nine
hours yesterday the mills were
back in the possession of their
owners. That was between the
time Judge Pine signed his
Injunction and the time the Ap-
pellate Court acted.
Perhaps late today. but more
likely tomorrow, Acting Attorney
General Philip B. Perlman will
file an appeal from the Pine order
with the Supreme Court. The
Court Of Appeals stayed the in
junction at least until that time
No Early Action Seen.
A high official said he doubted
II the Government would try to
crack down on the strike today.
You can't blame the workers
for being confused" the oficial
said. This is a very peculiar
situation. One day the Govern
ment has the mills, the next day
we don't. We are confused here
in Washington"
Could Seek Injunction.
The Government could seek an
Injunction in an effort to force an
end of the strike. That would be
based on the fact that the steel
workers technically are Govern
ment employees.
But the high official said such
court action might cause a revo-
luton" among the workers, mean
ing they might rebel against
President Philip Murray Of the
steel workers. He added that he
doubted if any court would issue
back-to-work order until the court

ST. THOMAS: Adolph Ge-
reau, Chief Clerk of the Saint

whose period Of sick leave will
expire at the end Of this week,
and in compliance with his
promise to the Police Commits
sion, will be assigned to duty
in the Department Of Educa-
ton for a period Of six months,
Governor de Castro said. |
The six months limitation is
due to the fact that it has not
been possible yet to work out a
permanent assignment for Mr..
Gereau.. However, his position
as a permanent employee will
be unchanged and a decision
will be m a before the
expiration of six months as to
his permanent assignment.
Constant disagreements be-
tween Mr.. Gereau and Police
Director Earle Charles which
flared into the open several
weeks ago resulted IN a sugges
ton BY the Police Commission
that the men be kept in sep
ste departments to avoid
serious consequences.
