Seven months ago, when the steel strike was imminent, Harry Truman felt the tug of all the complex influences which have grown out of organized labor's long kinship with the Democratic Party. He reacted instinctively - i.e., with reckless political partisanship. He abandoned Government's position of impartiality to rush to the side of labor, and in so doing, he tumbled into a constitutional crisis.
