We don't care whether it is a labor organization
or a capital organization, no organization m the
United States should have the power to paralyze a
basic industry over a differential of 6y2 cents an hour.
It is ridiculous !
Three-and-one-half cents an hour means only 28
cents per day the idea that such an infinitesimal
change in the prevailing wage scale could either ser
iously injure the business, or effect the morale of
labor, is just too silly for words.
And that is the only difference between manage
ment and labor in this United States Steel contro
versy.
Nothing else was involved no fact-finding, no
inspection of books or records, no closed or open
shop; nothing but a paltry two bits and three cents
a day!
IN this particular instance U. S. Steel is unquestion

25 cents per hour increase. The company offered 15.
The' workers reduced their request to Vdyz cents;
The company refused. Then President Truman
stepped in and offered 18 cents; the company con
tinued to refuse.
So now this huge, basic industry, the bell-wether
of all others in wacres.and the comer-stone or Amen-
can post-war reconstruction, will close down tomor
row, disrupting the entire national economy wnyf
because a billion dollar corporation refuses to in
crease its wage scale by less than 30 cents per clay.

Where lartre and important issues are involved,
strikes and lock-outs probably can't be prevented. But
where no issue but wages is in dispute, and then
where the difference is microscopic, the parties con
cerned should in some way be COMPELLED to reach
SOME settlement that would allow the essential in
dustry to continue in operation without interruption,
until some more serious difference should arise

The March of Dimes
A MERICANS who have seen the terrible conse
" quences of infantile paralysis among the chil
dren of this nation are conscious of the need for con
tributing to the "March of Dimes" now underway.
Here is, indeed, a "Good Neighbor" program. It was
launched 13 years ago by the late President Roose
velt, has the hearty support of republicans and dem
ocrats alike, for crippling polio is a common foe that
is no respector of persons. It strikes rich and poor
alike, white and black, without consideration to race,
color, and political or religious creed.'
It is clearly a duty of all good neighbors to enlist
their dimes and dollars in a fight to the finish. The
familiar and distressing sights the shrunken limbs,
warped and twisted bodies, crutches and wheel chairs
and all other grim reminders of this terrible scourge
are themselves the strongest argument for supporting
the work of the National Foundation for Infantile
Paralysis.
a a b a
RIPPLING POLIO claimed 13,000 victims last
, year, and more than half of them were under 20
years of age. That shows the enemy to be strong, so
the battle must go unrelentingly on in the laboratory,
in the hospital, in the classroom, and in the commun
ity and home. Increasing light is being thrown
through laboratory research, upon the shadowy and
nebulous virus. It has not yet been isolated but we
know how it is transmitted. Physical therapeutists
and physicians have learned that, by quick and ac
curate diagnosis and by proper treatment in its acute
stage, astonishing results in preventing deformities
are now possible. Half of the poliomyelitis victims
now recover completely.
IT WAS Sister Elizabeth Kenny who first demon
- strated how the agony in the initial onset of the
virus can be eased how muscle contracture and crip
pling, too, could be greatly lessened. The dimes con
tributed in the campaign will train more physical
therapists so urgently needed through scholarships
at approved schools and universities. While the quest
goes on for scientific knowledge which some day will
surely find a cure for polio, every effort must be made
to ease the suffering of little victims of infantile par
alysis and return to them the opportunity for normal
life, happiness and social usefulness.
Dime by dime we must wage the fight.
Of course, Jackson County will answer the appeal
of this inspired crusade cheerfully and generously !
H.G.
altitudinous one that the poor retailers of Buenos
Aires had to declare a lock-out !
e a a
IN other words, here is the case of a rabid Fascist go
ing Communist for political purposes.
Not to be outdone in this country the Republican
minority in the House Thursday tried to push through
n-esicient iruman s "labor bill" without further hear
ings. 1 he Democrats were strenuously opposed to it
The result was a tie.
IN other words, here is a Republican group, trying
to put over the pet measure of a Democratic Pres
ident, while the Democrats fight to prevent it; and if
Air. Mallon can be believed here is CIO favoring the
GOP action and opposing the attitude of their favor
ites, the Democrats!
Politics is, undoubtedly, the motive-force in both
actions; but far easier to figure out in Buenos Aires
than in Washington, D. C.! K.W.K. .

Politics!
Politics not only makes strange bedfellows, but
strange statesmen.
Observe General Peron of Argentine, for ex
ample. The General's record as a Fascist has been
so notorious and unsavory, that this country has been
on the point of breaking off diplomatic relations a
number of times.
Fascists are supposed to be anti-labor, pro-big busi
ness and totalitarian, no one has doubted Senor
Peron's proclivities in these several directions.

DUT the General wishes to win the forthcoming
presidential election, so taking a page from the
political note-book of the late President Roosevelt,
he proceeds to not only turn sharply to the left in his
speeches, but pours cash-money into the pockets of
labor, by decreeing a wholesale wage-boost, such an
