Small Business

NEWS Of the death Of Charles d. Mckin-
ney in Decatur, Ga, has just reached
US. Years ago, circa 1920 we were in At
lanta, visited Mr. Mckinncy's office in a
skyscraper building. He called Us to The
window and with sweep Of his hand told
us that the large area We could sec wax
filled with small manufacturing enterpris-
es. Atlanta has become the manufacturing

to force the granting Of their demands.
The federal government already has
arbitration machinery but this machinery
cannot prevent a strike if workers decide
to have strike. And the strike is the ulti-
mate weapon Of the union 1t is difficult
job to arrange a situation under which the
strike cannot be used or threatened, where
by labor would not lose some Of its bargain

The answer is not in giving management
a club, or labor club, but in providing
some arbitration authority TO protect the
public from costly, unnecessary or unjusti-
fled strikes, which could be avoided
An impartial board may, in the end have
to decide on some contracts, and this would
be preferable to reckless strikes affecting
millions Of innocent people.
