The Korean War created the need of US steel production to continue. Without steel, the manufacturing of weapons such as aircraft and a long list of supplies the US military required would be hampered.President Truman took control of steel production. Later the US Supreme Court ruled that Truman did not have the legal authority to run the US steel mills.
In April of 1952, President Truman the Department of Commerce to take control of the US steel mills. He feared that a national strike would hamper the flow of supplies needed to continue the war effort in the Korean War.

He feared the effect on materials needed for the Korean war.
hes wife left him and took all his money, so he turned syco.
President Harry S. Truman was clearly acting in the best interests of the US by taking control of the steel industry. He, however, did the right thing politically and legally to protect the executive branch for his actions. He at once reported his decision to the US congress, and conceded to their wishes if they disapproved of the seizure. While that governing body as a whole did not present him with any major problems, executives of the steel industry did. They sued the government The case went quickly to the US Supreme Court which ruled 6 to 3 against Truman.
In April of 1952, US President Harry Truman authorized the Secretary of Commerce to seize and operate US steel mills. This action had everything to do with the Korean War. Truman believed that a strike against the giant steel corporations would endanger the production of steel needed to supply material to US troops. Truman did not do this based on any socialism idea, he made it clear that this was a temporary action, a war measure, so to speak, to protect US troops.As an aside, President Lincoln also took "war measures" during the US Civil War. These, however, were more "political " in nature. The idea of Lincoln taking control of the firearms industry would have been so radical ( and impractical ) that it would have never been even thought of.
In 1952 the judicial and public response to Truman's overeaction to the steel strike helped further define the conditions in which US presidents might or could persuasively invoke the so-called Lockean prerogative. Additionally, the case added an additional clarification to the problem of prerogative. This revived a distinction recognized in the early years of the US republic that had been blurred during the US Civil War. As with President Lincoln, Truman used the claim that his actions was an extreme emergency the country ever faced. At best this was an exaggeration. Seizure of the steel industry was indeed unconstitutional.
