Associated Press Member Audit Bureau Circulation Today's Roundup By MALCOLM EPLEY ONE could probably set a first class argu ment going among CIO and AFL men by asking who came out ahead in the series of strikes and wage settlements Just brought to an end by establishment1 of a 15-cent raise for members of both unions in the lumbering in dustry in this area. From a strict dollars and cents standpoint, it appears that the CIO got the better of it. The CIO men worked for two months at a 1214 cents increase while the AFL men were off for three months before getting a 15-cent in- EPLEY crease. Then the CIO got the extra 2tt cents to start the new year all even. However, this obvious financial advantage won by the CIO in the latter months of the year was partially offset by the fact that the CIO men lost their wages for seven weeks in a strike that occurred in the late summer and early fall, and which ended without any change in the wage situation at that time. AFL men may feel they have won a moral victory by sticking it out in a strike that got them 2H cents more than was granted in the first CIO settlement, even if the CIO did get the extra raise after the AFL settlement was effected. They may argue that unionists some times count their triumphs in sacrifices as well as nickels. Costly IN 1945,' CIO lumber unionists lost work for seven weeks in a strike and AFL unionists lost about 12 weeks. It takes a long time to earn back what is lost in a work stoppage, even at substantial in creases in wages. Experience certainly shows that a strike is financially justified only as a last-ditch extreme, when all else has failed, and' from every viewpoint it is to be hoped that the time will come when fair settlements can be effected in all cases without resorting to costly stoppages. - One feature of these stoppages that deserves comment is that by and large they were weath red without any serious disorders. The CIO , strike in the early fall had a dangerous side issue in the situation on the Weyerhaeuser road, when AFL machinists returned to work, but that serious situation was finally ironed out with no actual violence. Otherwise, the CIO strike was passed without serious incident, and the longer AFL strike went through to ' the end entirely without disorder. All of this is to the credit of unionists in both camps, as well as to employers. We think the experience of the last six months shows a disposition on the part of both unions and management in this area to get along together, giving and taking where neces sary to harmony and fair bargains. as have most readers of the current labor news, by the emotion of opposing factions. The truth behind the matter is evident. Mr. Truman advocated the fact-finding solu tion out of the experience of the railroad union brotherhoods, who have enjoyed its operation for more than 15 years. The idea of establish ing a public concept of the facts, with 30 days' cooling down before strikes, in the case of the brotherhoods, never entered the - question of how much the railroads were making. Union Idea "TTHE ldea ' going Into company profits of the past for a wage scale for the future was developed by the union in the General Motors case, merely because the company had war profits and the union wanted bigger wages. In the every-day similar steel case, the same CIO unions have taken an opposite stand be cause there were no steel profits. Mr. Truman is now moving to increase the price of steel through Mr. Bowles in order to create money by which the steel companies can raise the union wages. The simple truth is thus shown to be that the unions want a wage increase for whatever reasons they can concoct, for the reason of profits in the General Motors case, for the op posite reason necessitating a price increase in the steel case. This is the essence of the matter, and any one who indulges himself in any economic rea soning about the matter is wasting his time. Thus the newspaper editorialists are proven by the facts to be right in changing their stand. The Truman fact-finding solution has been headed by union pressure into ascertain ing company profits in the General Motors case. These are past profits, based on war business, and the manufacture of different pro ducts. The union would be entirely logical If it demanded a distribution of these profits to the workers. That would make sense; but it .is entirely illogical in contending that these past nrofits should measure the future wage scale, because the same profit is not guaranteed for the future.

Concede Falsity News Behind The News By PAUL MALLON WASHINGTON, Jan. 14 An editorial sur veyor has reported 72 per cent of the newspapers approved Mr. Truman's fact-finding solution for labor claims at first, but suddenly turned around and in one week during Decem ber, (22 to 29), 65 per cent attacked the plan. This he considered a strange and inexplicable turnover of public opinion, or press opinion, and he criticised it. He said the change came about when the Truman fact-finding board for General Motors was confronted with the union proposition of going into company profits to set future wages on this basis.

In one case the unions make one economic claim; in the other they make the opposite; and the administration tries to do their bidding in both instances. How then, could there possibly be anything else but confusion and strife? What the situation requires is the establish ment of a just principle, a common yardstick based on simple truths.

Turkey was careful to keep out of our war with Germany and without the help of Russia the U. S. and Britain would have been whipped by Germany and Iter backers, and until the last few years it was no credit to any nation to be a friend to the Turkish government. And Russia has treated the U. S. bet ter than the U. S. has treated Russia. Who kept Britain off our backs during the American civil war? And Turkey would not go to war with Russia over that strip of land without backing but she might with the U. S. and Britain to do most of the fighting and it would cost the lives of thousands of American boys and billions of American dollars and then we would probably fail to lick Rus sia and we would be interfering where we have no business.

Tho latter livo in Seville, but are going to Portugal for tho meeting. Tho foreign ntlnlstor didn't suggest there was any political significance In this matter. So far as his announcement was concerned it was Just a family affair. It was natural, however, that such a visit by Don Juan should be coupled in the public mind with restoration of tho monarchy which doesn't sound like such a bad guess at that. interesting bltuittion Anyway, Unit's tho highly In teresting situation your corre spondent and his distaff hclu mato have encountered on drop ping out of a wintry sky Into the sunshine of Madrid after a flight over the lofty Pyrenees from Paris. Most everybody In Madrid likely In Spain, for that matter is talking about the possible restoration of the monarchy. Mien and poor, iiristocrnt and peasant, all are rolling tills bit under tlielr tongues. And this Is truo whether they llko the idea or whether they don't, because from Whatever angle the ques tion is viewed, it's a matter of tremendous Importance for evory citizen of Spain. If this column could tell you how opinion Is divided, It would do so. However, time alone can do that. Don't forget that much blood has been shed to find an answer. Heaven forbid that it should cost more blood to get a solution. Astonishing Aspect An astonishing aspect of the situation is that this public dis cussion Is based on Information which has been circulated by word of mouth,, since the press has avoided the subject. Indeed, much of the news of Spain Itself comes from for eign sources by radio from America and Britain, or through ino Duuctuu wnicn are issued by the American and. British embassies and are given to the government and to tho press.
