ket today after prices had ad-
vanced every day this week.
Losses were small. but most
major groups were we'll represent
ed in the minus column.
Business tended to contract as
prices slipped. although activity
in several low-priced issues helped
to keep up trading volume.
At a rapid-fire opening faint
signs of an advance appeared.
Demand soon subsidized and halt
ing decline started.
A number of traders were in
clined to await news from meet
ing in Washington today designed
to lift the coal strike. The market
has advanced to new highs for
1949 in the preceding three days
in the face of continued strikes in
the steel and coal industry and no
indication of progress toward
settlement.
Representatives of coal, labor
and management, plus Federal
conciliators, are discussing the
strike today.
Lower prices were paid for U. S.
Steel, Youngstown Sheet, Chrysler,
Sears Roebuck, United Aircraft,
Emerson Radio, Southern Co.,
Kennecott Copper, Allied Chem
ical, Down Chemical, Nickel Plate,
Chesapeake & Ohio, Standard Oil
of New Jersey, Texas Co. and
Johns -Manville.

price footing in the bond market.

Consumer Discovers
His Own Stake in
Labor Disputes
By J. B. WoIIoch
North American Newspaper Alliance

NEW YORK, Oct. 7.-One of
the most desirable outcomes of
the pension issues in current la
Dor disputes is the fact that the
consumer is becoming acquainted
with his stake in the controversy.
He is learning gradually that
highly organized. powerful labor
unions are really picking his
pocket for pensions as we'll as
pay boosts.
Business has sought to bring
home to the consumer that he
foots the bill when labor costs
are inched ever higher. but busi-
ness, of course. is suspect, and
consumers have not always needed
its counsel.
! One newspaper that has con-
sistently defended the administra-
tion's liberality with consumers
money pays belated allegiance
to the public's interst by ad
mitting that lit is the public
that foots the bill for any social
security program in the form
of price initiation"
In some industries, notes the
Commerce & Industry Associa-
tion of New York, Inc, employers
social insurance contributions
amount to as much as Is per cent
of the payroll.
Since the average employer
cannot absorb these increasing
burdens and stay in business, the
association points out, the cost o1
these varied expenditures neces.
sarily must be reflected in the
price of goods and passed on tt
the consumer. Thus, it continues
employers contributions for so.
cial insurance develop into a con-
sumption tax.
Logically enough, the associa-
ton believes that if the steel pan.
els recommendations are adopted
ensuing increased prices woule
bring demands for higher wages
to meet higher costs of living"
Millions of consumers in this
country are either nonunior
workers or members of unions
that lack the political strength
Of the coal, steel and automotive
workers organizations. More mil
lions are self-employed, in civil
service or otherwise unable to par
ticipate in the plunder Of the
Lewis. Murray and Reuther-led
bodies.
Business has the responsibility
Of rallytng these millions to their
own common cause, and providing
leadership until it is chosen by 9
representative majority.
Consumer-paid pensions are nc
mere labor-management issues. II
business yields, it is the consumer
who will pay without deriving the
slightest benefit.
Pensions will become the priv
ilege of the strongly organized
These facts are just emerging
and, If widely publicized, they may
yet move the consumer public tc
rise up In its own defense.

HOW MUCH FARM AID?

The center of the current farm problem is
i the extent of government aid to agriculture.
The National Grange, oldest of the farm or
ganizations, recently rejected the Brannan
plan. The American Farm Bureau Federation,
largest of the farm organizations, has just
taken the same stand.
The program of Secretary Brannan would
allow the price of one large group of farm pro-
ducts to fall to the upply-and-demand level,
and the government would then make up the
difference between these prices and parity
Iprices by giving the farmers production pay
ments. The leading farm organizations feel it
would make beggars of farmers" put agri-
culture into politics as never before, and mean
highly regimented production.
/ Farmers want government help. They see
labor getting it and winning higher wages,
which mean higher prices for most of the
things farmers buy Farmers already have OBJ
ttained great deal of government assistance
too much many of the best farm leaders think.
They anticipate trouble from the high price
supports set by Congress and the great pur-
}chases of excess farm products thus imposed
on the government. They are convinced that
lower and flexible price supports and, per-
|haps, other workable measures are preferable
ito the present Anderson-Gor Act and better
than the Brannan plan.
Not all farmers agree The National Farm
Iers' Union, third of the farm bodies and much
smaller than the leaders, goes along with the
Truman administration. It often does with or
ganized labor. And there are dissident minor
ities within the Grange and federation. But
the majority in these chief farm organizations
have chosen road which heads toward less
rather than more government SubSidiZatiOn
In SO doing they render service to the farmer
and to the nation. They have furnished an in
dispensible check on superreliance on govern
ment to finance huge industry.-Christian
