Poor Mr.. Truman.
Isn't it shame that holds the highest office
within the gift people country doesn't surround
himself with brains Remember Harding? He did the
thing the became the victim of the people
whom he mistakenly believed were his friends
thing President did say that had merit land we
carry his suggestion) that
there is underlying causes for strikes.
That a very sensible thing for Mr. Truman to so
that believe he have got the thought himself
asking his brain it, Now why doesn't
the President appoint real factndng committee to nves-
the entire labor situation find out the real
why have been visited with epidemic of serious and
widespread strikes instead of merely making with the mouth
about IT.
CAUSE FOR STRIKES
There strikes. Some factors must
be underlying why had work soppage

Strikes in country will fewer
managemens and to the realization that the
unions here to stay.
Many managements still years behind in their thinking,
trying problems with mentaities
They impression that what fire back in
the fabulous twentes will work today, and in attempting to
II find themselves drawing down the wrath of
labor which has advanced by giant strides in the
past 10 years
This take into consideration a minimum number
labor leaders who lack sincerity in the conduct of their
offices every Intellectually other

equality with management" is he trying say labor
irresponsible group of crackpots completely lacking in
knowledge OF what constitutes the public welfare?
IRRESPONSIBLE
AS matter of fact yes matter of record management
has shown many VI Day almost
pete lack of responsibility Consider the longest strike which
has occurred VJ Day. that of General Motors which
the frankly said "the public be
about its self appointed trying
Were the railroad workers, copper electric

il stubborn determination the part of the
ments of these industries accede to the demands of
the workers?
Who believes that labor leaders and the rank file like
strikes? Nobody in their mind who has been either

both sides loss of and profits creates bitter feelings
that requires considerable time soften Both sides lose

i'll afford to osethe confidence of its employees
Despite all these things, management to considerable
