WASHINGTON, Aug. 15.—Strik have begun to grow more elusive, government officials to wonder whet The record of union successes nearly every effort brought victory, The latest setback for the unions co dent Truman will not seize the three strikebound plants of the J. IL. Case Co,, farm machinery manu= facturer, at Racine, Wis, and Rockford, Ill. This is the oldest strike on the books of the U. 8. conciliation service, whose help the company steadfastly has declined. The strike started Dec. 26, 1945 and Is still going on. It affects 4000 employees. The company stands pat on a 1937 jetter in which the C. I. O. Farm Bquipment Workers union conceded to the management the right to pargain with workers individually as well as collectively. It is assumed that President Truman's non-seizure decision will apply also to the eight plants of the Allis-Chalmers Manufacturing Co, which have been struck since March and &pril.by the alitomobile The Allis-Chalmers concern makes some farm mathinéry, but its chief product is electrical equipment, of which it is the country’s third largest marrufacturer. Schwellenbach Disappointed

The C. I. O. executive board has| been foremost in advocating seizure of these enterprises. Mr. Truman's) final decision is obviously a severe, disappointment in C. I. O. circleg and also to Secretary of Labor Lewis | B. Schwellenbach. Top labor and #friculture department officials had been certain of a seizure order. | Mr. Truman apparently has lis- | tened most to advisers who hold that the seizure process, based on wartime laws, should be used only in great emergencies. .He apparently accepted the argument that the Case and Allis - Chalmers strikes, while involving farm machinery and therefore food, did not constitute an emergency of the size and kind to justify use of war powers. 2 Labor unions have been advocates of seizure as a means of getting the government on their side in forcing agreements from balky employers.
