will have to talk to the President
about what he is going to do.”
In response to questions, Mc
Grath said another possible strike
stopping move, other than seizure
would be to seek a court order
against a walkout. But he empha
sized that he was speaking only
of possibilities.
Other administration officials,
unquotable by name, said there
was little prospect of an injunc
tion attempt unless the workers
refused to stay on the job under
government operation.
While the Cabinet was in ses

ductors sent to the White House
a denial that they had broken any
pledge when they called a strike
for next Monday.
Mr. Truman told a news con
ference yesterday that the strike
call—issued by the brotherhood
of Railroad Trainmen and the Or
der of Railroad Conductors late
Wednesday— was put out within
an hour after he had been assured
by both management and unions
that there would be no walkout.
“We wish to personally advise
you that at the concluding confer

Steelman, in the east wing of the
White House from 3 to 4 p.m.,
Wednesday, August 23, 1950, no
mention whatsoever was made re
