The American people will
breathe easier now that the
steel mills are to start roll
ing, unless, indeed, the Su-
preme Court should do the
unexpected and reverse the
decision of the United States
Court Of Appeals upholding
an injunction under the
Taft-Hartley Act to end the
Holiday strike for at least 80
days. Within that period. the
leaders Of the steel workers
and the heads Of the major
steel companies Of the coun-
try are ordered to seek agree
ment on a new contract be-
fore the so-called cooling -off
period has been exhausted.
The fact that the Kaiser
Company. biggest producer of
steel on the West Coast, and
a smaller company. Detroit
Steel, have already agreed to
contracts with the labor
bosses may be a spur to bring
about settlement by United
States Steel Corporation and
the other big producers still
at odds with the union. Much
will depend on whether
United States Steel resists to
the end any agreement COM
parable to that accepted by
the Kaiser Company. and on
whether the union will agree
to a contract less favorable
to its demands. If no agree
ment is reached. the strike
may continue after the 30
day period, with continued
disastrous effects to the coun-
try and the general public.
Action Called For
But even if the strike is
finally settled, the tremen-
dous losses to the workers, to
the steel industry, to in
dustries which use steel, and
to the general economy of
the country-a total esti-
mated at more than Sc bill
lion-will not be repaid. Fur
ther, no one will know when
another major battle between
organized labor and industry
will occur. From the lesson
the country has just expert
enced at the hands of big
labor and big industry, it is
reasonable to expect that
some step will be taken to
lessen the danger of and to
put an end to induStry-wide
strikes and lockouts such as
the steel strike.
So far the Eisenhower Ad-
ministration has not come
forward with any proposals
to cure this situation-except
a mild one by Secretary of
Labor Mitchell for the use of
the United States Mediation
Service as a fact-finding
board to report on the merits
Of a struggle over contracts
between labor and manage
ment before a strike actually
gets underway.
Secretary of Commerce
Frederick H. Mueller, in an
address to the Economic Club
OF Detroit on October 10, ex-
pressed a strong belief that
I'VE must not sanction no
quarter strikes in great in
dustrieS that cause serious in

ton Of economic suicide. We
must find an answer to these
constant strikes and threats
Of strikes that menace the
security Of the worker, the
economic health Of the entire
country, and the safety Of the
United States. In this de-
termination we must not
fail" But there the Secretary
left 1t. He made no suggestion
Of any remedy.
Two members Of the Sem
ate Labor Committeeman
ator John F. Kennedy Of
Massachusetts, Democrat, and
Senator John Sherman Coop
er of Kentucky, Republican
have gone further. Senator
Kennedy, who is chairman Of
the Senate Labor subcom-
mittee, has said he will call
his group back to Washing
ton to work on amendments
to the present labor laws and
have recommendations ready
to submit to the Senate when
Congress convenes in Janu-
airy. This is good sense.
Like Senator Cooper, Sem
ator Kennedy has suggested
amendments to the Taft
Hartley law. Among the al
ternatives he indicated should
be studied would be power
in the hands of the President
to seize a strike-bound in
dustry when the economy
and safety of the country is
threatened. compulsory arbi-
tration, and a longer COOLING
off period than the 80 days
now provided by Taft-Hart-
ley. Neither Senator Kennedy
nor Senator Cooper is an
enemy of organized labor. On
the contrary, they have again
and again showed their
friendship with the workers.
Against National Strikes
Suggestions have been made
in the past that some step
by law if necessary-be taken
to call a halt to industry
wide national strikes and
force workers to deal with in
dividual companies in making
their contractS-the COM
panies by which they are
themselves employed.
One of the great dangers
to the country is the infla-
tionary spiral of ever increas-
ing wages and prices. The
increases demanded by the
union are prime reason for
the steel strike-increaseS
which the industry insisted
would be inflationary. Neither
labor nor industry in the
past, however, has shown
signs Of self-restraint when
it comes to demands for high
er wages and higher prices.
With a national election
just around the corner, the
chances for reform legisla-
ton to deal with these very
real dangers to the country
growing out of unlimited
warfare between labor and
industry are pretty bleak.
Unless remedial legislation
could be dealt with in a nom
partisan manner, supported
by both Democrats and Re-
publicanS, it will have a diff
cult road to travel.

Battle Hymns Author

In undertaking to correct
a correspondents error, a
second correspondent has
himself erred. The Battle
Hymn of the Republic was
not written by Harriet
Beecher Stowe. The author
of the poem was Julia Ward
Howe. Some years ago at
the Congressional Club I
heard a daughter of Mrs.
Howe, Mrs. John Elliott. re-
late the story of the writing
of the lines.
In the autumn of 1861, DR..
and Mrs. Howe were in
Washington in the company
of Gov. Andrew of Mas
Sachusetts. They attended a
review of troops. Returning
to the Willard Hotel, Mrs.
Howe's carriage was delayed
by regiments marching by.
While the party waited, Mrs.
Howe and her companions
seng the popular war songs
of the day. Among them was
John Browns Body.
When Mrs. Howe, deeply
stirred by the sights of the
day, retired for the night, in
the darkness she literally
saw" the poem known now
as the Battle Hymn of the
Republic. At first she
thought to wait until morn
ing to write down the lines;
then fearing she might have
forgotten them, Mrs. Howe
reached for the pad and pen
Gil which 1t was her custom
to have near her bed, and set
down the stanzas. (She had
taught herself to write in the
dark to avoid Weakening a

The sad girl behind the
glass door
She was gone from the Of
flee, and Templeton Jones,
vagabond lover, missed her.
Not that he had ever said
but one word to her.
Hi" he said one day to
the frightened child.
This Midwestern greeting
missed fire, because the girl
had come from far across the
ocean.
Jones heard later that she
had left to take a job at
twice the salary.
1t is always twice the sal
airy. Jones wondered why it
is never one fourth more,
or half more, or maybe three
times.
No. it is always twice the
salary.
Maybe the reason is, he
thought, it sounds good.
YOU'RE doing better for
YOURSELF" they ask.
The one smiles knowingly,
and says:
I'm getting twice as
much" How much the
much" was he doesn't say,
of course.

Jones memory of the girl
will be of a frightened face
behind the glass door.
Perhaps it was nothing
more than that her mother
had a frightened face, before
her. Such faces are seen, now
and them and the beholder
wonders why fear should be
blazoned forth for all to see.
Jones wondered what she
had been afraid of. Today's
young ladies are not sup
posed to be afraid of any,
thing, or at least so they pre-
tend.
But he recalls that several
years ago, when something
went wrong with an elevator
at the Monument, there were
as many weeping, suddenly
historical teen-agers as there
might have been in 1898.
Fear is something that is
hard to conceal.
Fear in office?

knife ready to stick in your
back. at least in a way of
speaking.

I would like to make some.
observations concerning and
raise some questions about
the proposed So million in
bond issues that are before
the Fairfax County voters.
First, rejection of some Of
the proposed bond issues on
November 8 because they are
unwise, violate democratic
principles, or are otherwise
defective would not preclude
consideration of alternative
bond issues at a future date,
possibly when the proposed
$40 million school bond issue
is voted on in the spring of
1860.
Fairfax County has a
bonded Indebtedness of $685.
100000, of which 100000
are revenue bonds that are
being paid off from service
charges. The gross per capita
debt is 1921. If the So mil
lion in bond issues are passed
and $40 million for schools is
added in the spring the gross
per capita debt will rise to
$404.
Debt service on the $44,-
100000 of general obligation
bonds this fiscal year
amounts to $3,200,000, di-
vided between principal pay
ments of $1,700,000 and in
terest charges of 81 million.
This is the equivalent of the
amount raised by a tax rate
of IA ceuts per 500 of as
sessed value on the 1859
1860 tax base of $454 million
and accounts for approx
mately 20 per cent of the
present tax rate of $3.75 per
500 of assessed value.
On the present tax base it
would require a II cent tax
rate to meet the announced
1960-1961 interest and prin-
cipal payment of $4,000 on
the So million in bond is
sues, a repayment schedule
based on a 20-year period
and a. Az per cent interest
rate. On a comparable basis
the proposed $2O million
school bond issue would re-
uuire a 20 cent tax rate.
The proposed park bond
issue of $4,800,000 violates
fundamental democratic prin-
ciples in that it Jumps three
separate items and does not
allow the voters to pass indi-
vidually on the merits OF
100000 for regional parks
that would be under control
of the Northern Virginia
Regional Park Authority, SIT
million for neighborhood and
community parks. and S2.3
million for stream valley
parks.

Unfair Lists Use
Upheld By Court

SEATTLE-The Ninth Court of
Appeals has reversed a decision of
the National Labor Relations Board
and ruled that the placing of a nom
union company's name on a "Do Not
Patronize" list is an exercise of free
speech and not a violation of Taft
Hartley.
The courts decision came in case
involving the Machinists and the Alloy
Manufacturing Company, of Seattle,
Washington. After failing to gain
recognition some four years ago, the
lam placed picket in front of Alloy
and listed the company as unfair in
local union publication.
When the case reached the Board,
it overruled a trial examiner and
found that both the picketing and the
inclusion of Alloy on a "Do Not Pa
tronize" list were unfair labor prac-
tices. According to the NLRB, both
practices, intimidated non-union en-
ployees of the firm.
In knocking down the Board de-
cision, the court held that while the
picketing was a violation of the law,
the unions efforts to persuade the
public not to patronize the firm were
within the general protection of the
First Amendment guaranteeing free
dom of speech
The courts ruling in the Alloy case
is the second reversal of a Board
picketing decision in recent months.
In the other case-involving the
Teamsters and the Curtis Co. -
court held that the NLRB was in
error when it prohibited picketing by
a union to gain recognition.
