What General Electric
has done to settle
the strike

Within 3 weeks after VI day, the UERMWA
(C1O) formally asked the General Electric
Company for wage increase of Csc per hour,
or So day.
In a series of meetings from September
through December, the Union officers refused
to modify their demand, although the Company
explained the impossibility of granting such an
increase. The prices of peacetime goods which
the Company was starting to manufacture
were frozen at prewar levels and wages and
material costs were at wartime high levels
December q. Even before other industries had
settled their strikes at compromise figures
General Electric offered 1919 increase to the
Union.
January4. The Union suggested that the Com
pany offer be made on cents-per-hour rather
than percentage basis. The Company there
upon offered 10c an hour or 1879, whichever
was larger. The Union rejected the offer within
an hour. (Other General Electric employees
including production workers represented by
other unions accepted the raise, and it was
made effective for them January ~
January Is. The UERMWA (CIo) called
strike
January %. The Secretary of Labor appointed
two mediators, with whom Company officials
have met whenever and wherever requested.
Knowing that higher price ceilings must be
obtained to cover operating loss if higher
wages were to be met, in the weeks that fol-
lowed General Electric officials made repeated
attempts to get such action in Washington.
January g. At the suggestion of one of the me-
diators that a price increase might be obtained
if higher wage offer were made at the same
time, General Electric wrote the mediator stat

ing the higher offer it was willing to make But
the necessary price relief was not obtained.
Gu. S. Bureau of Labor statistics show that
since January, 1911, the average prices of all
commodities have risen 1920, of raw materials
59.4% and Of manufactured products 231oo. In
the same period General Electric prices had
gone up less than 80, making postwar produc-
ton unproftable)
February Ia. The President issued new Exec
utlve Order permitting immediate recognition
OF payroll increases in granting new price
ceilings. Accordingly General Electric again
sought assurance from OPA that ADEQUATE
price relief would be granted to permit further
wage offers.
February II. Washington officials informed
General Electric that no price relief would be
considered until after wage settlement
(although both the steel and meat industries
received price assurance in advance of wage
settlement)
February %. Accepting this Government policy
the Company advised the mediators that it was
prepared to negotiate wage increase in line
With the new national wage pattern. The only
condition made by General Electric was that
mass picketing by the Union be discontinued
in accordance with the law, so that non-union,
non-striking employees such as scientists en-
gineers, executives, administrative and SUPER
visory personnel, could enter the plants.
February Is. This offer was reported to the
Union. It took two weeks to obtain an agree
ment to cease mass picketing
March II. The discussions which had been held
up by inability to obtain this agreement were
resumed.

 The skipper was man of ac- tion and presence of mind. While his guests suffered panic, he went below and blasted a hole in the hull with dynamite. The crippled craft took on water fast and set tied to bottom in the swift stream. Then it lodged! Days like months passed before the handful of frightened people could be brought ashore, but no lives were lost. Quick action saved them.
 Paying the Price
 Certainly the skipper loved his boat and hated to sacrifice it. He wished something might have walked him a mile up stream where life and property both could have been saved, but he paid the price of survival.

Upstream from Niagara Falls a short distance, the weather beaten hulk of a wrecked yacht lay for years in mid-channel. saw it once, clinging precariously to the rough, stone river-bed while the swift current lashed violently at its decaying sides. A Canadian, native of Welland County, told me the story of the derelict, a thriller if l ever heard one, and worth repeating.
 Several miles up the river, this comfortable little craft rode at anchor one night in quiet water. The skipper and some guests were sleeping peacefully on board when, by some unexplained cir constance, the boat came loose from her moorings: Nobody walk ened for a long time. The boat drifted with the current, which was not fast at first but gradually gained speed as it neared the falls.

Italy, Germany and Russia have passed, and the one France and England are entering now.
 Numberless weak vessels have plunged helplessly over Niagara to a destruction nobody ever las lived to describe. Just so, many helpless peoples have been swept through revolution to dictatorship because they could not help them selves. Even recently England blasted the sturdy keel of a self governing nation. The people are thinking in terms of security" so freely promised, but their long cherished liberty is damaged. Figuratively, England's freedom hangs precariously in rough cur rent, while brave souls are trying to stem the tide.
 We Can Save All
 The United States of America has drifted far but our engines are still, in condition and the boat is not out of control. Still there is time for our leaders to save, not only our people from revolutioN but the personal freedom our fore fathers fled monarchs and despots to obtain and fought desperately to keep. The way to ruin is via central planning, government management, direction, control ownership.
 Government ownership is full concentration of authority - a pretty name for despotism. The trend is unmistakable, the tragic course is familiar. It is time to turn back under power toward in dividual liberty; freedom of fa3h,' freedom of speech, the right to own property and the right to buy and sell. While we have the only large seaworthy yacht on the river, it's time for quick action.

 In bidding for Russian cooperation, Henry A. Wal lace proposes that reduce military appropra- tions stop building long-range bombers, turn Pa cc bases to the United Nations, drop any claim to voice in the affairs of Eastern Europe abandon safety first policy the atomic bomb and offer the Soviets a loan with strings attached.
 Admittedly this would top all previous bids for Rus sian favor. But would it buy peace?
 And what if it failed to buy peace? Having tied our hands and turned the other cheek would be sit ting ducks for attack and have little left to resist repel it.
 Our experience has been that agreements with the Soviet Union are worth little when they stand in the way of Russa's corresponding program of aggression and aggrandisement
 Too late found that the concessions made to called Russian security at Teheran, Yalta and Pots dam bought little in return, and that inch, had conceded in any direction could be expanded into mile by Russian interpretation at any time the Sovies cov eted territory, spells and firmer last ing controls.
 Appeasement has pacified dictatorship with aspiration for world conquest and international Con- munism has confessed such ambitions countless oc- caSionS.
 The peace-loving nations looked the other way when Japan invaded Manchura in 1931 hoping that that territory would satisfy the Jap urge for expansion The payoff 10 years later when the Japs hit below the belt at Pearl Harbor
 The Jap adventure encouraged Mussolini to overrun Ethiopia in 1885, and again the aw-abding nations of the world stood by and let might prevail over right.
 Then the tOtalitarian march Hitler sent his armies into the Rhineand in 1886 and in 1888 he in- vaded Austria. Britain and France bowed to the Nazi dictators will Munich, and Czechosovakia was gob- bled up Instead of peace in tme this continuing appeasement policy brought war With Germany, Italy and Japan joining hands against the free world.
 We do not intend to attack Russia, and Russia is not real threat to security unless make her one by weakening ourselves and building her up.
 We learned long ago that sinking our batteships not the road to world disarmament We still need police department to maintain law and order in this city in nation, and in the world.
 Understanding with Russia can be achieved, if we patient but it will not until Russia finds that we do not intend to be pushed around.
 Until that day we must keep powder dry.
