Radical Labor Element in Control

T INTEREST of the public which is always a
| sufferer in such endurance contests is now
conferred in the pending steel strike. in an
effort to obtain a reliable basis Of informal
tion for dependable conclusions as 10 its prob
able duration. AS in the case Of most strikes
in the past involving large bodies OF organized
workers. claims Of the companies and labor
leaders as to the number who responded to
the call TO quit work are conflicting and wide
apart. First reports, however indicate that III
some mill districts Il large proportion OF the
workers have responded TO the call, leaving the
plants too crippled to operate. while i'll other
districts the walkout has been limited. and the
mills continue TO operate with nearly full
crews of regular employees. On the basis Of
developments of the first day both industrial
heads and leaders Of organized labor seem To
be of opinion that they face a long and bitter
struggle and both sides are making plans
accordingly.
Naturally. public sympathy is somewhat
divided to the justice OF the respective
attitudes in respect TO the precipitation OF the
strike. with opinion preponderant that if both
sides had been moro reasonable in considera-
ton of the public interest effective means
might nave been found OF iorcStalling the
Otter contest. While the various unions
directly concerned voted for tie strike. it is
