Steel Strike: Senate Bars Truman Request for Seizure. ""President Truman goes before a Joint Session of Congress to request seizure powers to settle the steel strike. His personal appeal is turned down by a vote of 54 to 26."" President Harry S. Truman says, ""I therefore recommend that the Congress promptly enact seizure legislation such as I have described, which will restore full-scale steel production, provide fair treatment for all concerned, and maintain incentives for both parties to reach agreement on the disputed issues through collective bargaining. There's another course which the Congress could follow; that would be to enact legislation authorizing and directing the president to seek an injunction of the type authorized under the Taft-Hartley Act but without going through the formality of appointing a board of inquiry and waiting for its report. I do not recommend that the Congress adopt the Taft-Hartley approach. I think it would be unwise, unfair, and quite possibly ineffective."" Senator Taft is among the men in the audience.
