Strikes May Send Business
Recovery Effort Gaily-West
By SAM DAWSON
New York UP) September is likely to tell whether the busi
ness recovery effort is to be knocked galley-west by costly battles
between labor and management.
The steel dispute comes to the showdown point in two weeks.
And John L. Lewis gives another twist to the screws, calling for
a two-day weeK in tne coaiy
mines next week. The nation's
coal stocks, estimated to be
dropping at the rate of a mil
lion tons a week, will be sliced
S'A million tons that week.
, Strike threats still hang over
the auto, electric appliance and
rubber industries. One big rub
ber company, B. F. Goodrich,
is already struck. In these and
other industries, labor and man
agement are reported holding
off contract decisions to see
which way the steel stalemate
will be resolved. Not only is
there strike threat, but also the
question of what wage Increases
might do to prices, sales volume,
and company profit and loss
sheets and purchasing power.
The steel dispute will come
to a head over the second week
end in September. The Presi
dent's fact-finding board is ex
pected to make its recommenda
tions Sept. 10. The unions have
set Sept. 14 as the strike dead
line. In the few days in be
tween, the steel companies and
the union must decide what
they'll do about the board's
suggestions.
Unless another truce extends
the strike deadline, observers
fear the time will be too short
for the two parties to reach an
agreement. The union has ask
ed wage and pension concessions
adding up to 30 cents an hour.
Some think the board may sug
gest that be cut about in third.
Strikes in the first postwar
years merely added to the in
flationary spiral -by aggravat
ing shortages of goods In great
demand, and boosting prices.
This fall, however, strikes are
,rnore likely to deeepen the re
cession. In most industries fin
ished goods inventories are high
enough to take care of consumer
demand for some time. But the
loss of purchasing power by
workers in struck industries will
hit retailers hard, and mush
room out all through the econ
omy. For example, the railroads
that serve the coal fields are al
ready hit by the three-day week
'which Lewis decreed July 1.
Freight traffic is down and rail
employes have been laid off.
, Labor leaders In other indus
tries deny that they are just
waiting to see what happens in
steel and coal before pushing
-this year's fourth -round bar-
saining to a oonclusion.
But many on the management
' side of the table believe that
when the steel pattern takes
shape in a couple of weeks, and
Lewis' tactics and chances be
come clearer, the die will have
been oast for peace or war this
fall in the key industries. Until
that is known, the trend of busi
ness in general will be in doubt.
Linn County tacks
Many Hop Pickers
Albany, Sept. 1 Hop har
vesting operations this week are
being hampered by a "serious"
lack of pickers, Bill Sloan, man
ager of the local Oregon State
Employment service, indicated
Wednesday.
At least 200 more hop field
workers are needed immediate
ly to augment a force of nearly
1000 pickers that are harvesting
western Linn and northern Ben
ton county crops, Sloan stated.
The late hop crop is just now
hitting its stride, the local OES
official said, and unless a suf
ficient labor force is on hand
there is a danger that some of
the hops will spoil on the vine.
. Harvesting of the crop will last
about two weeks.
Standard picking wage this
season is 3 cents a pound.
Bus Line Ordered
To Resume Service
Olympia, Sept. 1 UP) North
coast Greyhound Bus Lines had
less than 48 hours today in
which to resume operations of
their strike-bound buses.
An order to resume operations
.by 12:01 a.m. Saturday was is
sued yesterday by the Washing
ton public service commission.
In effect, the order appeared
to be a demand that the com
pany submit issues of the 11-week-old
strike to arbitration or
face possible court action lead
ing to cancellation of the line's
certificate.
Striking employes, members
of the Motor Coach Employes
union (AFL), agreed last week
to arbitration. The company
refused, however, on grounds
that certain phases of the strike
were managerial functions.
Tank Truck Strike Ends
Chicago, Sept. 1 OT A 21
day strike of tank truck drivers
which had brought a near gaso
line famine to the Chicago area
ended early today.
The 1,600 members of the
AFL Teamsters union voted
-unanimously shortly after mid
night to accept a wage boost of
10 cents an hour and improved
vacation benefits.

The American Legion will as
sist all local veterans in apply
ing for their national service life

This was announced today by
Charles H. Huggins, commander
of Capital Post No. 0 of the

"Our post will have the nec
essary applications which vet-
erans will have to make to the manhunt in history in trying to
VA to get their' NSLI
dends," ' Commander . Huggins

his NSLI policy for 90 days or

000 in these refunds. Payments
per veteran are expected to
