The Coal Settlement

Except for the fact that another
long and costly strike has been
settled, there is little to excite praise
in the agreement reached between
the Government and John L. Lewis.
The new contract is described as
victory for Mr.. Lewis. With the
exception of the clause relating to
the unionization of foremen, how
ever, there is nothing in the new
agreement which appears to be
either unreasonable or improper. If
1t is victory for the union leader,
1t is more victory of method than
substance, triumph for the tech
nique OF compelling the Government
to come to terms after refusing to
bargain in any real sense with the
employers directly involved.
In this instance it may be that
the employers are not too upset over
the course events have taken. Per-
haps they were satisfied to let the
Government deal with Mr.. Lewis.
But the fact remains that the coun-
try has had to endure the evil
consequences of the strike which
resulted from this failure of collec-
tive bargaining. The Government,
bowling to the coercion of a strike,
has negotiated another contract
with union-a contract which the
employers will have to accept in
order to get their properties back.
And Mr.. Lewis, by securing at public
expense little more for his union
than other unions have been able
to obtain, once again has set in
motion the vicious circle of COM
petltive demandS-a process which
will progressively weaken the system
of private collective bargaining un-
less and until there is some legisla-
tive action to restore a proper bal
ance between labor and manage
ment. ...
1t can hardly be doubted that the
settlement of the coal strike has
Influenced and will continue to in
fluence the course of legislation.
Certainly 1t played a part, although
probably a lesser part than shallow
political considerations, in the over
whelming Senate vote to reject the
Presidents request for authority to
draft strikers against the Govern
ment. And in the end the coal
agreement may contribute to the
return of the entire emergency labor
bill to committee, which would be
tantamount to killing it. There is
also a probability that the new
agreement will affect the fate of the
Case bill, since that measure con-
tainS restrictions on the unionization
OF foremen which seem to be in
consistent with the intent of the
contract which the Government has
made with Mr.. Lewis. Will the
President, having come to terms
with MIR. Lewis on this point so far
as the contract is concerned, now
proceed to sign a bill which would
remove supervisory employees from
the scope of the Wagner Act?
If the President is not willing to
sign the bill, then Mr.. Lewis will
be seen in new role. The man
who, by reason of his intransigence.
was primarily responsible for passage
of the labor disliked Smith Connally
Act, will emerge as a union leader
who, by reason of greater intransi-
gence, has contributed largely to the
defeat Of restrictive legislation even
more distasteful to the labor bosses.

Senator Pepper Criticized

Senator Pepper Criticized
To the Editor OF The Star:
Senator Peppers attitude on the ques-
ton of any corrective labor legislation is
abominable. He is Mortified at the idea
that any worker may be drafted into
the Army where he would be subject
to military courts martial, if he refused
to work in an industry which had been
taken over by the Government. While
championing lahprs gains :he at the
same time does not care what organized
labor does to the welfare of 100000, 900
Americans in instances like the recent
rail strike. Why doesn't he just admit
that he Is the stooge for selfish organized
labor interests2 DISGUISED CPO.
But Washingtonians Can't Vote
To the Editor of The Star:
Much has been written about the
apparent lethargy of the unattached
public during the past troubled months
We have been verbally spanked for not
flooding Congress with mail and other
wise expressing ourselves.
Now We are very much upset about
the condition of our country today,
sorely troubled by the changes creeping
over the land. We remember our country
before all this Washington mastermind-
ing developed among us and we liked
it much better. We want to be cooper
ative but We are not at all certain that
the endless crises and shortages are due
to immutable natural laws. Frankly We
feel that they are due in no small part
to plain lack of horse sense.
Further, in the face of highly studied
pressure tactics of minorities which
seem consistently to control the stage,
we feel we have no one to turn to with
an ear for fairness. We are leaderless.
We are not dormant Our only hope,
however, seems to be 1948-if not too
late. REVERICUS.

Atom Use
Predicted

b OS T O. ", tn Commercial
use OF atomic energy within five
years was predicted Friday by a
group of New England experts pro-
viding the government gives the
green light to industry.
Atomic generation of electric
power. they said, could be accom-
pushed at an original cost compa-
rable to present modern methods
and eventually for much less.
These views were expressed in
report by New England Coun-
subcommittee headed by Karl T.
Compton, president OF Massa-
chusetts Institute of Technology
and one of the developers of the
atom bomt.
Although no atomic power plants
have been built, they said, there
now seems to be no question, from
the purely technical standpoint,
about the possibility of generating
large amounts of power from the
heat liberated during the operation
OF atomic piles"
Many factors, they added. would
affect the speed with which the
atom is put to commercial use
among them government financial
support for research and develop
ment, full release of technical in
formation commensurate with Sc
curity and provided that industry
be given the green light to pro-
coed with its own development"
Granted tcsc. they said. "It
seems probable that within five
years atomic piles could be operat-
ing for the purpose Of producing
electric power"
The committee said that II was
difficult to predict that the first
com mercial uses of atomic power
would be but that ct seems likely
that it will be for purposes need
ing heavy and continuous loads OF
power"
Federal funds for research and
development Of peacctime i'll

tion OF atomic energy are ncces-
sary. the report said. as we'll as
