Government Policy Discourages Plant Seizure As Strike Weapon

against each other on strike, Bass cannot settle without giving Dal- rymple victory.
 The strike leaders cannot under stand why the Army or the Navy does not seize the plant, in which case they could go back to work an- nouncing their patriotism and loyal ty, without loss of face.
 Observers believe that the govern ment has held oil from seizure, and will refrain as long as possible be- cause it sees the Akron situation as only the first in a long series that will arise out of cutbacks and the imminence of reconversions. In President Truman's first two months the government took over II plants, contrasted with total of only 28 in the last 40 months of President Roosevelt's administration.
 If seizure can be avoided and the rubber strike settled by other means without crippling our armed forces in the Pacific, it is felt that the example would discourage grow ing tendency on the part of labor to use seizure as almost first weapon in every dispute that may arise.
 How long the stoppage can be permitted to continue is question. Although there have been cutbacks on smaller sizes used on trainers and some fighters, the need for the biggest sizes of bomber tires is cri- tical. The same can be said for at least some tires for ground vehicles and for other rubber items than tires, even in civilian types. Sub- stantial production must be achiev- ed if the essential minimum of 20 million passenger cars is to be kept on the road, plus necessary trucks and buses.
 Even before the strike the man.. power situation here was serious. How bad, can be judged from what happened when the bituminous coal industry, hard pressed to provide minimum fuel for next winter, ad- vertised in Ohio papers for miners, showing ful-time six-day earnings ranging from $6350 to as high as $82.32. The War Manpower Com mission objected to publication of the advertisement in Akron, on the ground that manpower here was too tight to be diverted even for min- ing coal.

Akron, July - The Akron rub Der workers stand alone in their strike that has crippled the nanu- facture of tires for use against the Japs. Badly needed planes have been kept on this side of the Pacific waiting for tires, brake materials and self-sealing gasoline tanks.
 From the very beginning, the Goodyear strike was condemned by the armed forces, by every govern mental agency concerned, and even the gum miners" own international union. The Akron Industrial Union Council, dominated by rubber work CTS, did vote them sympathy and support" but now the national CIO has ordered the Council to withdraw that support.
 Everything sad about the Good year strike and every argument against it applies with exactly equal force to the new Firestone strike of 15,O00 workers, which began June 30.
 DECADE OF BITTERNESS
 To appeals from the Army and Navy, to orders from the VILE, to argument from International Pres ident Sherman H. Dalrymple, and at this writing to instructions from the CIO top command, the rubber workers have been completely im- perviouS.
 That is because the controversy goes so much deeper than the spe- cific matters over which, when Good year Local No. 2 walked out the morning of June IT, there was serious disagreement. It is because of a highly complicated background that involves long-griping bitter ness between the workers and some of the companies. plus major con- f1ict of intra- union personalities and ambitions. There is also post war reconversion angle that I shall discuss in a separate article be- cause it illustrates some of the difficulties for which those interest," ed in labor relations throughout the
