A HB1TRATION uroem cuts have been entered Into by the major railroads and 18 of the 20 railroad unions. (So fur the engineers' and trainmen's brotherhoods ure not included in the agreements.) . . HTHE most striking development of tho weekend Is a predic tion by a "high government of ficial" (suld to be closely identi fied with administration labor ' policy, but refusing to permit his name to do aiscioscaj inui mo steel strike will end "wiuiln week or so." Ho adds that a "settlement bloc" WITHIN the steel Industry ' "has gained the ascendency over those who would prefer to fight it out with the 750,000 striking CIO stcclworkcrs." MEANWHILE professor of AT labor low, Harold C. Hovlg humL of Northwestern unlver slty. advises tho senate labor committee in Washington today aim nst any "labor-Dinting" leg isiution at this time, adding thut , It could "bring us to the verge M 1 OVU.Wir."n,,rfl. w , i (Those are strong words, but l it la true uiot tempers are in flumcd. When tempers ore brittle enough, almost anything can iioppcn.) . TJROFESSOR HAVIGHURST tolls the senate labor com miltcc members: "Postwar industrial disputes are natural . . . Tho (present) situation culls not for a plague but for understanding.;. Tho tusk of congress, as I see It, is not to determine which party it wants to hang but to old in develop ing a healthy system of collective bargaining." He urges the committee to support President Trumiin s re nuest for fncl-findlnil legislation and odds that opposition to it eomes from the STRONGER EMPLOYERS and the STRONG ER UNIONS. Ho urges that "unfolr labor nroctlccs" be REDEFINED to place responsibility on unions as wen as employers, including court actions for breaches of col lective agreements by cither party. Ho proposes amendment of tho anti-trust laws so that unions would be subject to them If they attempted to "use the strike and the boycott to drive tho employer out or Business. " DROFESSOR HAVIGHURST'S views ore interesting representing tho middle and MILDER ground of opinion in this country, which is becoming convinced that before there con JU be industrial peace tho parties " to collective bargaining must be EQUAL In the eyes of. the law, TN response to these develop ments, the stock market SURGES UPWARD this morn Ins.

AS always, tho action of the stock market is Interesting as reflecting the thinking of the PUDUC. The public is obviously anxiqus for prosperity. It WANTS PRODUCTION, for it knows thnt production creates wealth. When tho production fuciuro iooks oeuer tnoso days, he public BUYS. When the pic ture daiikons, it seliIjS. THERE Is of course obvious acceptance by tho public of the probability that higher prices win ioiiow nignor wages, mus promoting inflation (lessened Duyln&fpowcr for the dollar.) People may ARGUE thut such a thing won't happen, but when they BET THEIR MONEY they bet that it WILL. Weather Max. (Jan. 27) ... 33 Mln. ... Precipitation last 24 hours .

Disarmament Confab Asked WASHINGTON, Jan. 28 (IT) Senator Tydings (D-Md.) de manded in the senate today that President Trumnn Immedi ately coll a world disarmament conicrcnco to prevent an atom ic world war. Interrupting the senate fili buster against the fair employ ment oractlces bill, the Mary land democrut said ho doubted that the United Nations' action for "control" of the atomic bomb would be successful. "I do not believe that the United Notions organization is equipped to initiate successful ly a task of this magnitude," the senator said, after Dolnting out that all he remaining great world powers arc arming to the teeth. Because Germany and Japan are not to be permitted to re arm, Tydings said, there is this situation: "It is as plain as the nose on one's foce that the great armed forces of our own country ore being maintained principally for possible use against Rus sia, Britain, France or China, slnco Germany and Japan are to be kept disarmed. "Is it not plain, too, that Russia is maintaining her armed forces for possible use against Britain or the United States or France or China?" ( PRICE FIVE -XAMATH FALLS. OREGON, MONDAY.
