I am (tolng to attempt to show
you gentlemen this afternoon how,
deplorable as It may be that cer

., . . Most of the Instructors, from
widely scattered parts of the coun

years In the service, four years in
college before that, and had picked
up at least two years o'. practical

Yet these were choren as Instruc

WASHINGTON W In th- old
days If the Philadelphia shoemak
ers went on strike, no one suf
fered much except the shoemakers
and their employers. New shoes
weren't a necessity.
In those lots 18th Century days a
gtrlke In cne city might affect that
city, but thtt one only, bicauss the
American society was a lot more
simple then.
The various parts weren't Inter
dependent. Unions were few and
small. No Industry was vital to the
whole country. Its dlf.erent today
when the whole structure of Amer
ican life is built on lmerdepend
ency, with unions nationwide and
some industries extremely vital.
. Today a long coal, steel or rail
road strike could ruin the defense
program and In normal times It
could wreck the economy. A pro
longed railroad strike, for Instance,
is unthinkable.
Imagine the effect of a month
long train and truck strike, shut
ting off food and other supplies
from all the cities. There'd be
rlota certainly. Probably there'd be
revolution. Ho government could
permit It,
Congress certainly Is aware of
this growing Interdependence of all
the American parts, as it has dem
onstrated in legislation aimed at
avoiding strikes.
The Railway Labor Act provides
long machinery tor settling dts-
fiutes between the rail unions and
he companies, with the underlying
idea that the longer they talk the
better the chance of a settlement.
And the Taft-Hartley Act lets the
President get a court injunction
forbidding a strike for 80 days,
again giving both sides more time
for a settlement.
But in no case has Congress
. flatly forbidden a strike. When the
80-day T-H injunction ends a union
IS free to strike. And a rail union
can strike when all the Railway
abor Act machinery Is exhaust
ed. In stopping Just short of flatly
forbidding a strike Consrress has
been guided by the underlying
principle of as much freedom as
Possible for everyone, including un
ions and employers.

paid . . . according to the number
of students thry have: $20 per stu
dent per month up to a maximum
of 30 studenir. This, as you can
see. is net too much for a good
teacher. To my knowledge Oils,
witge scale Is higher than for any
teacher in the local high school.
The approximate c!st (students
and Instructors) ol the program at
ltd peak as 3153.000 per year.
This would eat up the Income tax
of 317 people paying an average of
$500 per year each.
According to the law. the instruc
tors nun spend eight hours a
month with each s:udent on his
farm or on a lie'.i trip; he mujt
spend four hours a wee in a class
room with his students.
The llr:.t doy I reported to work,
the Instructor then In charge and
I were in the back of the room.
He looked at his watch (about 30
minutes past starting time) and
said, "By the way, do you have
anything to telk about tonight?"
That was my initiation into a
school that hsd been in operation
lor almort a year.
There was little planning . . .
generally a bull session the whole
evening . . . and th? students got
in the habit of saying they were
"going down to sign the payroll."
Bear In mind that the teachers'
salaries were based on the num
ber of students . . . if a student
were dropped, the salary was cut.
Remember now. these trainees
are in the school primarily for an
education. The fact that they re
ceived money doesn't enter the
picture or does it?
The ve?r when barley sold as
high as S5.00 (they were practi
cally all barley growers) about a
dozen students were enrolled. Toe
next year over a hundred decided
they needed training: the price
of barley was way down.
One hard and fast rule of the VA
is that any student who misses
more than 10 hours of clws a year
without good excuse wculd be con
sidered for dismissal. To my knowl
edge no student ever was dropped
becaure of missing class . . . had
the rule been enforced there would
not have been enough left to sup
port one Instructor.
(More tomorrow.!
So. by stopping short of a ban
on strikes in vital Industries. Con
gress has tried to let unions and
employers reach agreements
through free, collective bargaining.
But it gets less and less free,
the more the government steps In
the present steel dispute. When ne
gotiations between the Steelworkers'
Union and the companies broke
down, the union threatened a
strike.
Such a strike now would WTeck
the defense program. Instead cf
using T-H's 80-day delay. Presi
dent Truman stepped in end asked
both sides to let the government's
Wage Stabilization Board examine
the dispute and make a recom
mendation on a fatr settlement.
Both sides agreed. The union put
off the strike.
This is the latest example of
where the government couldn't si
ford to let free, collective bar
gaining go all the way that is.
end In a strike in a vital indus
try..
More and more the government
intrudes now to avert k strike, but
each time it docs, fully free col
lective bargaining becomes a little
more of a myth.
If the lime comes when Con-
gress forbids a strike, it will have
deprived workers of their best eco
nomic weapon. It would have to
balance the rcales by putting com
pulsion on employers.
This would probab v mean com
pelling both sides to let their quar
rel be settled by en arbitrator

Then the barber approached with
