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. '

SWINDLING SPREE ENDS
CALCUTTA ( - Red-faced Cal
cutta school officials have ended
the 12-year spree of a swindler
whe talked his way into $4,200 no
body missed.
At least the pilfered cash went
unnoticed for years while the 35-1
year-old man skipped from job
to job In the local educational sys
tem. The smart-looking Hindu, who
speaks excellent, fluent English,
kept a step ahead of suspicion until
May.
He didn't even have the high
school, college or post-graduate de
grees he flaunted forged before
school officials and actually never
reached eighth grade.
He always showed keen interest
in "administrative" work i n
schools" that kept him near the
cash box," one police officer commented.
