The event is significant because it tends to point the way to settlement of strikes in other industries. The feeling prevails that if Ford and Chrysler can pay 18 cents an hour increase in pay the other automobile manufactures and the steeel companies can do likewise. However, the chairman o f the U. S. Steel’s board of dir ectors said his company cannot pay even the proffered 15 cents an hour increase unless the ceiling price o f steel is raised more than the $4 a ton that the government is understood to be willing to allow. The big companies (as well a sthe little ones) have been wanting to reduce their income taxes, and cutting profits is a good way to reduce the income taxes. The whole picture develops into a tug-of-war, with the government fighting to avoid higher prices, the employer attempting to gain more lee-way between ceiling prices-and expenses and the workers fighting to gain more for their labor. The contestants will eventually reach a- greements, because all are dependent upon the others, but they may be slow in settling their differences. An increase in ceiling prices is the most dangerous, but the easiest solution and that is probably what will transpire. S u n s e t Valley Mrs. J. A.
