Abolishment Of Strikes Rests With Voluntary Action Of Labor Itself " By BRUCE BIOSSAT For some time we have been scraping along with a slim output of vital steel. Inevitably the national defense pro gram will suffer. So will the entire domestic economy, of course. And that includes the steel workers themselves. Every time a major strike oc. curs, some enterprising fellows al ways tot up the economic losses, in output, wages, profits and so oa. The bill is generally staggering. Maybe the time will come when we will regard these losses as too j not accomplish what they are sup- great to bear. In the complex state I posed to. They j ave become large. Common Beats More On Yalu Raid Censure LONDON Wl The House of Commons decided Tuesday night it couldn't blame Prime Minister Winston Churchill's government be cause it hadn't been told the Ameri cans were going to bomb the Yalu River power plants m North Ko rea. The House, bv a 300-270 vote, de feated a La borne motion to censure of our Industrial organization. In the precarious state of our rela tions with the Communist world, time is of supreme value. The time that is thrown away when men strike can never be regained. That time spells money in work ers' pockets. It spells, in this in stance, steel for guns and tanks and automobiles and ice boxes. We will make these things again at the scheduled rates envisioned oy our business and military leaders. But we shall never make the ones we could be producing now. We may well conclude one day, in the light of this painful fact, that the strike is an economic weapon whose disadvantages out weigh Its advantages. We are not here proposing that strikes be outlawed, or severely curbed by any legislative means. Ti e strike is Labor's last resort against what it regards as man agement's stubbornness or unrea sonable demands. It is the symbol of labor's freedom not to work. In a free land such as ours, there can never be compulsion upon men to labor, except in time of war. No, if the strike as a weapon is ever to fall into disuse, the initia tive will have to come from labor itself, acting voluntarily. Labor leaders will have to conclude for themselves that the strike has become in this complex age a rath er barbaric device which serves nobody well. Management may "win" any particular strike, in the sense that its proposals are accepted by labor. But it will never win back the lost production. If labor should gain its demands, how long will the men have to work to offset the wages lost while they sat idle? Every strike ends at some point. Why? Admittedly, the economic pressures on one or both parties to the dispute sometimes become too great to resist. But many strikes end before either side has reached that limit. They end be cause the two parties have knuck led down hard to the business ol bargaining something they have gotten out of the habit of doing in the early stages of present-day controversies. If the two can ultimately settle their differences by tough bargain ing, why wait to begin that pro cess until millions of dollars in wages and production have been irretrievably lost? What could ba more wasteful or more purpose less? Though no such study has been conducted, it Is very likely that ,., ,. , j, , . ,. . ., the government because it hadn't would Indicate that the majority h ., hpfnr. ,h -;,.. of strikes are Ineffective. They do Churchill warned the House that the motion, while technically aimed at his cabinet, "really falls on the United States." Adoption of the motion could have resulted in the resignation of the government.

But since the strike is labor's club, no one but labor can make the decision not to use it. Labor leaders will only decide thus when they are convinced there is more wisdom and benefit in other ways of fighting.
