Editors Note: Did you ever stop to think
what it means to be on strike and walking the
picket line for 10 months? That's more than
300 days. Think of 1t! Three hundred days
without pay check. Three hundred days of
waiting, watching and wondering what the out
come was going to be. Three hundreds days of
growing insecurity hoping that you will not
be forgotten by other more fortunate workers
who have jobs. Three hundred days extending
from deep winter and the problem of getting
coal and warm clothes for the wife and ldddies

Truman Kills
Controls, Prices
Rise Sharply
Continued from Page One

Continued fr0m rage OHe
raises prices 50 high that the
average American cannot buy
it."
The president spent a brief
time on the relationship between
wages and prices and said that
"as we speed the removal of
price controls, the removal OF
wage controls will also be ac-
CELEBRATED"
Expresses Sympathy
Mr.. Truman expressed his
sympathy for hardships tn a t
"many of you have undergone
because of the lack of meat and
spoke of the workers who have
been thrown out of work by the
meat shortage.
Blaming the politicians for
forcing him to remove meat
control, the President said that
"this same group hated Frank
lin D. Roosevelt and fought
everything he stood for"
In concluding his speech, Mr.
Truman said: "In the long run
that which is best for the nation
is best for the people. Going
forward together in that spirit,
we can win a sound and lasting
peace-time economy, with high
production and prosperity such
as this nation has never known
before"
Few Labor Comments
Few comments were made by
national labor leaders. Outstand-
ing in his condemnation of the
Presidents action was Walter P
Reuther, UAW-CIO president
who said:
"Now for the second time in
a year will miracle be
wrought. Cows, which today do
not exist, tomorrow will be born
reared, fatted, marketed, slaugh-
tered, distributed and cut, and
in "a hours will be on shelves
in your butcher shop.
"This miracle will come about
because the great meat trust has
forced organized shortages into
a political club and because they
have it more profitable to milk
a farmer than to milk a farmer S
cow"
