Deputy White House counsel Bruce Lindsay, in a telephone call from Air Force One to Rep. John Coryers Jr., on Tuesday raised the possibility of presidential intervention.
Sen. Orrin Hatch said that Congress could pass special legislation to force a settlement of the strike, which began Aug. 12.
"I had felt it would take until the summer and we would have to lose some games for Congress to get involved," Hatch said. "With the president's help, we could do it very quickly."
Strike reverberates in Washington
WASHINGTON — If striking baseball players and owners aren't able to solve the strike, the government could do it for them, according to a key White House official and an important U.S. Senator.

Lindsay, traveling to Boston with President Bill Clinton, called Conyers while the Michigan Democrat was in a news conference with players from his state: Cecil Fielder, Kirk Gibson
"It is time that Congress finally steps up to the plate."

Management negotiator Chuck O'Connor said he feared lawmakers may end the baseball dispute in a similar manner. Clinton said last week
within an hour.
Three years ago, then-President George Bush asked Congress to pass a law to end a railroad strike. The House and Senate complied, and Bush signed the bill
--that if a deal was not reached by Monday, he may ask mediator W.J. Usery to propose terms of a settlement. Clinton would then ask Congress to enact the settlement as law.
Senate Majority Leader Bob Dole said that if Clinton proposed such a bill, he wasn't sure the Senate would pass it.
"He might ask, but my sense is there would be a big debate up here about it," Dole said. "It's not something that would sail through."
"It is time that Congress finally steps up to the plate," said Conyers, who interrupted a House Judiciary Committee meeting on a crime bill to introduce the three players to Rep. Henry Hyde, the committee chairman.
"The American people do not have such a narrow agenda," Conyers said, "and I believe they expect their publicly elected representatives to take steps now to preserve the game that means so much to fans all across this nation."
Hull playing like his old self — and more
The Associated Press
After six games, Hull is tied for the team lead with five goals — a given. What is unprecedented is his newfound zest for the game under new GM-coach Mike Keenan, a guy he wasn't supposed to get along with.
ST. LOUIS — Goals used to be Brett Hull's only calling card. Suddenly, he has developed into an all-around terror for the St. Louis Blues.
"There was a lot said about how everybody was going to wait for the big eruption," Blues defenseman Al MacInnis said. "But Hully has been playing great. The way he's playing right now, he could easily be on his way to another MVP season."
last Thursday. "You're going to play the power play, regular shift, penalty kill, 3-on-3, 4-on-4, and maybe a little defense."

"His assignment was fairly easy," Keenan said after Hull scored twice in the Blues' home opener
Hull was MVP in 1990-91, the season he scored 86 goals and had 131 points. He sulked through a couple of seasons after the Blues traded center Adam Oates. Now, in his eighth season in the NHL, he's back on top. In fact, Hull has become Keenan's indispensable man.
Hull's doing it all cheerfully, revamping his image. He's playing close to half of each game and waiting for that perfect scoring opportunity. The new Hull is going end to end and delivering crunching checks.
"He's taking the body a lot more," Blues defenseman Murray Baron said. "He's not afraid to jump right in."
The Blues' last two games are cases in point. In a 3-1 loss to Calgary on Saturday, Hull didn't score but was commended for his checking efforts. The former Lady Byny Trophy winner for gentlymanly play threw his weight around again in a 7-2 victory over Anaheim on Tuesday night, taking the game's first penalty and getting a goal and an assist to boot.
In the aftermath of the Keenan hiring by the Blues last July, there were rumblings that Hull would be offered to the New York Rangers as compensation. Hull fueled the controversy when he told the Los Angeles Times he didn't think he would be happy.
"Brett is obviously playing a lot harder than he has in the past," said Mighty Ducks goalie Guy Hebert,
It's all ancient history. The Blues didn't trade Hull, Keenan didn't remove his capacitancy as had been rumored, and Hull set an example for the team in an abbreviated camp in Vail, Colo.
who played with Hull on the Blues in 1919-92. "I think a lot of guys follow Hully's lead."
Goal-scoring comes so easy to Hull, the Blues' career leader with 391 goals in just over six seasons. The main thing Keenan wanted to see was effort.
"I don't think anybody is stupid enough to think you can get away with playing one way," MacInnis said. "You've got to go all-out both ways. Mike demands it from all of his players."
He's getting it from Hull.
"He has played well and played with confidence," Keenan said. "He's been a leader, and that's what we were looking for."
