Mitchell said today he plans to recommend changes in the Taft-Hartley national emergency provisions relating to strikes. These provisions have now been invoked in the steel strike. The main change he wants, Mitchell said, is to the federal mediation and conciliation service the right to ask the president to appoint a board of inquiry, a board to clarify the at any time during the mediation process, perhaps even before a strike At present, the secretary said, the President has no right to appoint such a board until a national emergency has been reached because of a strike.

The fact finding board named by the President under Taft-Hartley in the steel strike noted with dismay that after months of col lective bargaining, and more months of strike, the two sides still were not able to define all of the issues. A fact finding board named early in such a dispute, he said, could make the parties state the issues. seems to me this kind of public display or public knowledge would go a long way to making the parties their issues and get down to business, which in the steel strike was very difficult to Mitchell said be would promote discussion of such changes in the Taft-Hartley law within the administration.

The water plant field is narrowed, Steel Meeting Is Delayed, But Interest Continues This means a continuation of the nationwide walkout, now 100 days old, pending a circuit court of appeals ruling on the constitutionality of the 80 -day injunction, granted Wednesday by a U. S. district court judge in Pittsburgh. The circuit court decision could come later today or possibly Friday depending upon the length of the arguments and the time needed for judicial meditation. The union completed its case just before a lunch recess.

Court was scheduled to resume at 1:45 p.m. (EDT) with the government argument. Union counsel re-marshaled its arguments, declaring that the strike has created no national emergency, that indeed the economy is booming, and that the injunction violates the basic rights of labor to strike, rights that are part of the collective bargaining code. The government, after a brief interval of uncertainty over the exact legal issue, said it was ready to go ahead with the main luestion of constitutionality of the injunction, provided it could do so on the basis of briefs filed in the U. S.

district court in Pittsburgh. Government lawyers said they to proceed promptly because this is a national emergency. Jr. mi Sella CLAUDE DANLEY Claude A.
