A p r i 1 23 President Truman's seizure of the strike -threatened steel in dustry was voided in Federal District Court today and ,ihe first of some 650.000 steel work ers immediately began a walk out. Federal , Judge David Pine handed down a sharply-worded decision ruling that the Pres ident's seizure order was "with out authority in law" or the Constitution.

He added that agreement by the courts to such an argument "would undermine public con fidence in the very edifice as it is known under 'the Constitu tion." The judge announced that he was issuing an injunction order ing the government to give the mills back to the owners. Government attorneys indi cated they would try immedia tely for a higher court order canceling the District Court decision.
