THE WHOLE TRUTH

For long time now it has been no
secret that the strike situation in de-
Tense industries has become a major
cause Of production delays, although
a recent statement from labor sources
tends to minimize that fact.
According to the statement, "only'
6,500,000 man days were lost through
industrial disputes last year, as
against 25,192,OOO days lost because
of industrial accidents and injuries.
The inference the reader may draw
from such a comparison is that the
strike situation is not so grave as
many people think and that America
need not worry about it.
To every American who has OBJ
served the present labor situation,
such news would indeed furnish well
come relief-if only it were true!
Unfortunately, it's not. The fact is
that days lost through illness or acct
dents do not disrupt an entire factory
and stop production. They generally
affect only a small number of people
IN plant, sometimes only one. where
as a strike involves the complete per-
sonnet of a company-those who want
to work as well as those who don't.
And not only does it stop productions
IN whole factory, but, in doing that.
it often forces other plants to close.
One large airplane factory, for ex-
ample, depends upon 600 other plants
for materials and parts that are es-
sential to its own work A strike in
any one Of them could easily force the
anplane company to suspend produc-
ton, even though none of it's en-
ployees wanted to stop work.
At first glance, the possibility of
such an occurrence may seem remote
but actually such situations have al
ready occurred. A strike of comfy 400
men" in California die-casting fac
tory, for instance, held up production
in eight different airplane plants. A
strike of "only LOO men" at a steel
company kept $4,000 men in auto
mobile plants from making cars for
the Army
The truth is that while the strike
situation shows no great evidence of
Improvement, industrial health and
safety programs are steadily reducing
plant accidents and illness and the
time lost because Of them.
