Practically without exception these
strikes resulted in increased wages.
increased prices and more initiation.
As pointed out. i'm every one of these
the striking union had strong Adj
minsuatou support. Loud cries Of
pain came from the non political aides
Of Mr.. Truman, but not one word of
reproof or appeal from the President.
Defense Secretary Lovett and Air
Secretary Fiulctter stressed the acute
danger to the whole defense program
of these strike stoppages in industries
with defense contracts. War mobil-
izer Wilson declared that imitation,
due to wage and price increases, had
added twenty per cent to the cost Of
the defense effort. This week he
again issued a grave warning. But
from Mr.. Truman and his political
aides, the only utterances or the sub
iect were those Labor Day letters
written while damaging strikes were
blocking the flow Of needed arms,
thanking the labor bosses for their
"wholehearted and patriotic cooper
alton
And now comes the threatened
steel strike, which, if it should occur,
would be a major national disaster.
After Mr.. Murray had conferred with
Mr. Truman. the President put the
problem in the hands of his Wage
Sterilization Board, and Mr.. Murray
postponed the strike. No one can
doubt that in the end the board will
recommend most of the Murray wage
demands and that the steel industry
viii be allowed small price increases.
The result has always followed this
procedure, and inevitably mean
higher costs for everything and more
initiation. In addition, it sets the stage
for the demands Of Mr.. John L.
Lewis, and for other union demands
in other industries of which
have got to be granted in some de-
gree. In the end everybody is worse
off-the strikers, the public and the
country.
This would be a wicked record if
there were no politics in it. But the
whole business reeks with politics.

To Break Record Today.
If the thermometer hits 100 de-
greeS today, the record for the day
will be broken. The hottest July

temperature went to SO degrees.
The record for the hottest day
in July apparently still is safe.
That record Is 106 degrees.
Yesterday the thermometer hit
SO degrees at 1925 pm. The low

the area during the evening but
did little to cool things off.
Farmers Fear Drought.
The continued hot spell has
started to worry farmers in parts
of Maryland and Virginia.
The unrelenting, scorching heat
was hurting tobacco fields and
truck crops and drying up pasture
land. Agriculture experts in Vir-
ginia said if soaking rains don t
come within two or three weeks
the drought in the southwest Sec
ton of the State may. be compa-
Irable to the devastating one of
1880.

CHICAGO, July 23.-Maryland's

delegation.

Ambitions of Jack Pollack, boss Of
the party machinery in Balti-

Mr.. Pollack was squeezed out of

CHICAGO, Ill.,. July 23.-The
Democratic National Convention
Credentials Committee headed for
the convention hall this afternoon

floor fight on seating of two anti
administration delegations.
Its report also was expected to
be the springboard for a battle
over Virginia's stand concerning
the loyalty pledging issue.

downtown headquarters. Creden-
tials Committee members had re-

South Carolina, Mississippi and
Louisiana as to whether they
would send in loyalty "aSsur-

The Louisiana delegation had
not signed an acceptance when the
convention opened. Senator May
bank of South Carolina telephoned
that Gov. James F. Byrnes, head
of that States delegation, would
deliver a statement to the COM
mittee at the convention hall.
Earlier today the committee, at
the request of Gov. Byrnes, sent
to his hotel a printed form con-
