A GOOD MAN QUITS

(Fron Washington Daily News)
John R. Steelman's resignation as
director of Cancellation in the Labor
Department is definite loss. When
he took over the Cancellation service
10 years ago it was little more than
featherbed for labor politicians. But
Mr.. Steelman brought into the service
men who had both talent and desire
to make peace on the industrial front.
In recent years we have read a lot
in the newspapers about the strikes
that came off. But because it was less
dramatic, we haven't read as much
about the employ -empIoye disputes
which were settled without strikes.
And thousands of those peaceful
meetings. -of-mind which kept indus
trial wheels turning were made possi-
BILE thru the understanding interven-
tion of Mr.. Steelman's peacemakers.
We hope the President finds sue
cessor of comparable caliber.
