U.S. To Seize Packing Houses
Washington (UP)—President Truman moved to prevent acute national meat shortage today by deciding finally on federal seizure of strike closed packing houses.
The White House said the Agriculture department on Saturday would seize the strike-bound plants, whose output amounts to about half of the nation's normal meat production. Agriculture will have "the aid of the War department if necessary."
There were indications that the administration hoped to settle the strike of 300,000 CIO and AFL packinghouse workers before the seizure date. This belief was supported by the fact that the White House, for the first time, has announced seizure plans in advance.
The seizure would affect nearly 100 of the nation's largest packing plants. Many small and independent packinghouses are not affected by the strike.
If some wage agreement is not worked out before Saturday, it appeared doubtful that striking CIO workers, representing about 200,000 of the total, would go back to their jobs—even for the government.

The CIO is asking an increase of $ 17 \frac{1}{2} $ cents an hour while the AFL is seeking 15 cents.
Strike Picture Today:
ONE. There was no move to renew negotiations in the crucial strike of 750,000 CIO steelworkers, now in its third day.
