then damaged by terrific depth

Compulsory Arbitration
MARKETS, PAGE I8

MR.. TRUMAN has asked workers currently on
AA strike to return to their jobs pending investi-
cation of their grievances by board which he has
appointed for the purpose, But WHICH HAS NO
LEGAL AUTHORITY.
In the meantime, he urges, Congress should
pass labor legislation giving the board the au-
thority it lacks
The Immediately important thing. as the
President well said is for industrial strife to
STOP, because otherwise I'VE shall face period
of low production, low consumption and wide
spread unemployment-instead of the high pro-
duction. high employment, good markets and good
wages that are within our grasp"
Continued industrial strife, Mr. Truman
warned means not only loss of great amount of
wages and purchasing power but it may have
ramiflcatons throughout the country AFFECT
ING THE WHOLE RECONVERSION process
THAT is the simple TRUTH about the strike
situation, and the President is to be COM
mended for TELLING the truth about it,
But when the President speaks of govern
mental authority in the situation only to the ex-
tent of that exercised under the Railroad Labor
Act, he Is stopping short Of genuinely effective
measures applicable to the situation
The vital need of the country now in its
menaclng strike situation cannot be met by half
measures, or by any degree of PARTIAL remedy
What the country vitally needs is not Just an
alternative for strikes, which unions might take or
fail to take according to the prevailing whim.
TT NEEDS a permanent system of impartial and
COMPULSORY ARBITRATION. which would
make strikes IMPOSSIBLE as we'll as IN
NECESSARY.
President Truman acknowledged this as our
national need in principle when he said
When labor and management cannot COM
pose their differences, the public through the fed
eral government has DUTY TO SPEAK AND
ACT =.

settlement upon the respective strength OF the
parties results in loss to every one ii causes loss
OF wages to the worker and his family loss of
dividends 10 the stockholders and owners of the
industry, loss of goods 70 the public
COMPULSORY arbitration would ELIMINATE
- strikes, which are simply TESTS of strength
as the President says, and which are little better
than the primitive law of the jungle.
Compulsory arbitration would give every
party to dispute full hearing Of its claims. and
