AS SOON AS EACH STRIKE CRISIS
passes the inclination Is to settle back ana
hope the worst is over. That IS the way II
was with the auto strike, the oil strike, the
steel strike and previous coal strikes. NOW
there is another coal strike 1t IS working up
to a crisis Production is slowing down again
the inevitable result when one OF the basic
resource industries is closed. Hundreds OF
thousands of miners have been idle for weeks
Negotiations between employer and employee
could not have prevented the strike because
no matter how generous the settlement un-
der present labor laws, a better one is prac
ticaly guaranteed by the government whel
the dispute is forced into the strike stage
Until such unbalanced laws as the Ma
tional Labor Relations Act are amended II
treat both employers and employees mpar
TALLY, and some measure OF legal restrain
imposed upon monopolistc union practice
affecting the lives of millions of workers
there will be no end to Labor troubles S.
far no move has been made in this direction
Government is still the partisan of labO
rather than an umpire giving both sides a
equal break.
Many business men feel as does the Coz
mine operator who said: Good intentlOne
people overlook the fact that the type of gov
ernment we now have grows and prOSperS a
result of manufactured crises, law viola
tionS, and shortages of goods For man
years the American people have been puShc
from one crisis to another, with each criS
becoming the excuse for the creation of Il
of new restrictive laws. The kind of govern
,nent we now have as pointed out by this CO.
man. is a creature OF self-made crises. Gu
rently the oppressive controls of wartime al
boioO continued tO moot thp crisis of ShOr
ages that red tape and one-sded labor Law
are making steadily worse.
Memories in this country must be vel
short to not recall that the manufacture
crisis was the stepping-stone to power of e
