Steelworkers Say: “Lets
Get On With It
And Stop Arguing”
PITTSBURGH, UP) — The na
tion’s giant steel industry—back
bone of defense — throbbed back
into gear Thursday under the gov
ernment's say-so.
Within 24 hours of President
Truman’s dramatic seizure of the
plants, heads of the industry told
Secretary of Commerce Sawyer he
could count upon a return to nor
mal production as soon as pos
sible.
And Sawyer, who took over the
running of the steel industry
under the President’s order Tues
day night said, “I hope by Thurs
day to be able to state that there
is a nation-wide resumption of
normal fulltime output.”
As the American flag flapped
over the mills, the many thou
sands of steelworkers, themselves,
hailed Sawyer’s optimistic words
with fresh cheer.
“Let’s get on with it and stop
arguing,” was a common expres
sion.
Although the country’s fourth
biggest steel producers started
summoning their men back to
work, the full - scale re - employ
ment of some 150,000 furloughed
workers was expected to take as
long as ten $ays to two weeks.

Philip Murray Denounces
Randall Statement As
‘Deliberate, Malicious Lie’
WASHINGTON, (/P)—President
Truman declined comment Thurs
day on a steel industry charge
that he seized the steel mills in
“a corrupt political deal” with the
CIO.
Truman, target of an angry de
nunciation by Clarence B. Ran
dall, president of Inland Steel
Co., told his news conference only
that he hopes a labor-manage
ment agreement may yet be
worked out.
CIO president Philip Murray,
however, denounced Randall’s
statement as a “malicious and de
liberate lie . . . an insult to
President Truman and me.”
The industry’s first legal chal
lenge, to get a temporary injunc
tion against seizure, was dis
missed here Wednesday by federal
Judge Alexander Holtzoff.
Holtzoff said he wasn’t ruling
on the legality of Truman’s seiz
ure order, but found the com
panies had not proved the seizure
caused them “irreparable dam
age” that called for an injunc
tion at this stage.
