er weakened before, he Is not

Labor union leaders APP

they are playing a dangerous
game and one that could
imperil the future of free
unions in America. For. once
the Government gets the
habit of ordering manage
ment to make a particular
kind OF settlement. the same
Government can turn around
some day and order the
unions to capitulate. This
would mean the end Of free
collective bargaining and the
beginning of a kind of
fascist-controlled system by
the central government.
Unions today run to Gov

favored treatment. Because

leaders feel other Presidents

President Eisenhower, how

faced by his immediate pred
ecessors. Because the cost

purchasing power of the dol
lar shows a decline Of 80
cents since the end Of World
War II. This is largely be-
cause union labor has not
known when to stop in the
use Of the strike weapon to
force higher and higher
wages that in turn have
forced higher and higher
prices.
The present administra-
ton has come face to face
with a greater danger politic-
ally from the millions Of votes
that an angry electorate Of
consumers can muster than
could possibly be Offset by
labor's support at the polls.
The sooner the politicians

leaders become C onvinced
that they cannot rely OH the

But now, as the strike has
cost the Nation as we'll as the
participants many hundreds
of millions Of dollars, a settle

the false hopes for Federal
intervention that are being
persistently aroused.
Neither side, significantly
enough, wants the Taft
Hartley Acts machinery used.
This provides for a return to
work for 80 days, and only
after the expiration of the
period can the strike be re-
sumed. Nothing is provided in
the law to compel either side
to agree to anything. The
hope Of the authors Of the
Taft-Hartley Act was that In
"cooling-off period" a set
Element could be reached
through concessions made by
both sides.
But today. since labor and
management each knows that
there is no chance Of conces-
sions Of any major nature

sides say frankly they don't

AS a matter Of fact, as

there will be a quick end to
the steel strike. At the mo-

responsible for the adamant

America doesn't allow col

Social equality is some
thing else. 1t can't be made

There is yet another thing
we should keep In mind for
Mr.. KS visit.
The Russian people don't
understand what we mean
when we talk Of liberty and
freedom. They have never
known it. They did not have
it under the cars. They have
not known 1t under COM
munism. There is nothing in
their traditions or legends
about freedom.
The Soviet government is
one of materialism. It has no
Christian ethic. They believe
that mans only assets and

trained mind and hands. So,
they go more directly to a
point than we. They aren't
bothered by traditions and
instincts of ethical morality
as we know it. They are by
no means concerned about

They are not like us.

DORIS FLEEsON
Session Said to Have KnuckIed Under
To Eisenhower and Turned to Rioht

AS the first session Of the
seth Congress comes to its
laborious and painful end
any estimate of the worth of
its efforts will have to take
into account the hope with
which 1t began. 1t started
with a strong infusion of
young and capable blood and
heavy Democratic majorities
in both houses. None of this
had much effect on the final
result. While the session was
not as bad as some will pic
ture it, its accomplishment
was far less than was hoped
for by many who had hailed
1t in the beginning.
1t was, as a result Of the
elections last fall, a younger
Congress than has been in
power for a generation. The
general level of education
and enlightenment Of It's
members had been substan-
TALLY advanced. Yet these
factors made little mark on
the record.
In the repeated challenges
which 1t received from the
Eisenhower a d m inistration
by way Of vetoes and other
W ise, Congress knuckled
under. President Eisenhower
found every one of his nu-
merous vetoes sustained ex-
cept on the final version of
the rivers and harbors bill.
The President got substan-
tally what he ordeYd, ex-

cept for an expected reduce
ton in appropriations for
foreign aid. He had made
that reduction more likely by
his frequent attacks on the
Democrats as "spenders."
Since expenditures for foreign
aid have never been highly
popular with the voters, it
was an easy thing for both
Democrats and Republicans
to apply the ak in the one
direction President Eisen-
hover hoped 1t would not
swing.
The Democrats did balk at
giving the President unlim-
tied power to raise interest
rates on Government bonds.
There they met him halfway
by increasing the interest on
savings bonds only. But he
got a moderately tough la
Dor bill on which he had
placed great stress. And in
the last hours it appeared all
the civil rights legislation
which would be passed would
be an extension of the life
Of the toothless Civil Rights
Commission, an eventuality
which will not displease the
White House.
The failure Of the liberal
elements Of the Congress to
jell an effective coalition is
being blamed on the Demo-
cratic leadership. Majority

The steel strike would
have been settled long ago,
and it could be settled over
night now, If it were not for
the unremitting effort Of
labor union leaders to get
politicians to help them OBJ
tain what cannot be gotten
from management through
collective bargaining.
First 1t was pressure in
directly applied upon the
President by labor to inter-
vene in favor Of the unions.
Then the Governors Of var
ious States were persuaded
to exert their influence on
the White House for the
same objective. Senators and
Representatives in Congress
were sought out by labor
leaders, and they began
playing the game. too, by
publicly demanding Federal
fact finding"
It's all part of a we'll
studied maneuver by labor
union leaders to bring about
governmental participation
on the side Of the steel
workers. It's an old strategy,
and much of 1t goes on be-
hind the scenes, where those
politicians who must count
on the votes of labor unions
find themselves agreeing to
do the bidding of the unions,
at least to the extent Of
urging publicly a direct in
tervention by Government in
q major strike.
Some of the calls for Gov
eminent meddling purport
to be merely fact finding"
But the facts already are
well known-at least, the
labor unions and manage
ment know in great detail
what the issues Of disagree
ment have been and really
are.
There could have been a
negotiated settlement after
the first week of collective
bargaining, when each side
revealed its true position to
the other. There was no ques-
ton about what management
would give and what labor
would take. But labor counted

containment as too soft and
unproductive. Mr.. Eisen-
hover campaigned in 1852 on
the platform of rolling back
international communism by
all means short of war.
The rebellions in East
Germany, Poland and Hun
gary were the consequence OF
the belief of those people in
the roll-back doctrine. They
were crushed mainly because
the free nations did not have
the fortitude to back their
words by at least strong dip
lomatic actions lest a strong
stand might produce a third
world war.
Political leaders in WASH
ington and London decided
after Mr.. Khrushchev in
vented the Berlin crisis last
November that the situation
had become untenable. Hence
the face-to-face meeting be-
tween the Red dictator and
Mr.. Eisenhower, who is
sometimes described abroad
as the president of the free
world. Many politicians are
cheering, hoping that the
meeting might conceivably
result in a relaxation of ten
sion in this nuclear age.
Our tempered optimism is
not shared by the threatened
nations of the free world.
From Seoul to Madrid, so Of
fetal reports indicate, there
is real concern whether the
small nations may become
the victims as was the case
after the Teheran, Yalta and
Potsdam conversations"
Countries like Korea and
others in East Asia hope for

their ultimate fate. Peoples
