W-Tempered at Steel

If the United Steel Work.
ers do not curb their labor
bosses, from David j. Nc
Donald on down, they are
going to price many more
thousands of themselves out
of work.
Strikes resulting in wage
salary increases boost the
price of steel to its users.
Long-run effects are disas-
trous to the steel workers
themselves.
Adverse public relations re-
suit from the wage hike
price boost. 1t angerS vast
segmentS of the consuming
public who, rightly or wrong
ly, blame steel workers for
inflated cost Of goods.
This feeling. besides the
economic effects Of higher
steel costs, prods the steel
user to seek substitutes. Es-
pecially has this been true
since World War II. A re-
cent wage increase of IS
cents an hour boosted steel
prices by $24 a ton. Big buy
ers turned elsewhere, if pos
sible. Makers of aluminium,
plastics and reinforced con-
crete rushed in to grab the
market, including automobile
makers, who use more glass,
more aluminium in their
cars. Demand for steel fell
off.
Despite increased labor
costs, the SHOEMAKER tries to
stay in business. Hence he
resorts to labor-saving de-
vices to keep prices down, to
meet competition of substi-
tutes. So more workers are
forced out of jobs; more i'm
petuS Is given attenuation!
Mr.. Mcdonald exhorts steel
producers to pay wage in
creases "out of profits"
AL spurious, cloudy eco
nomic thinking to the con-
trary, wage-salary costs must
be borne by the product itself.
There's no way this side of
the slave labor mills Of So
Wet Russia to do it.
It's time the steel workers
and management stop pric-
ing themselves out Of buSi-
ness, as the coal industry
did.

Hot Potato Avoided

The height of political
chicanery recently was as
cended by the Legislature
and Governor of Maryland
when the delegates suddenly
adjourned without voting on
bills which would have in
creased the salaries of teach
ers. This occurred despite
the fact that the Governor
canpaigned on a promise to
increase the salary levels Of
our educators without the
necessity of a tax increase.
and was backed for election
by the executive secretary Of
the Maryland state Teachers
Association. So now we have
a situation where the hot
potato" need not be handled
at all. The legislators can
cry out Indignantly, well,
we didn't vote against in
creasing teachers wages!"
The Governor might say it's
not his fault that the Legis-
lature, which is comprised
overwhelmingly of members
of his own political party.
did not act on the bills and
that there is no need to recall
them in a special session.
But maybe the executive sec
rotary of the teachers aSso-
citation might now realize that
he was hoodwinked and made
a mistake in supporting a
man who made rash and ex-
travagant campaign prom
Uses. Finally, perhaps the vot-
ers themselves will wake up
and remember at the next
election the broken promises
Of their elected representa-
tives and chief executive, who
lacked the courage to face
an issue they themselves
created in order to gain polit-
ical Office.

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL


day: during the hot spell
last year he carried a bucket
of water; he carried scissors
to cut string that boys had
tied to the pigeons feet; he
carried home many a sick and
injured bird and nursed it
back to health.
"Then I missed him and I
inquired and found he had
died during the winter. No
body would help him and he
died of neglect and of a small
pension. When you think
that he helped so many and
nobody would help him, that
is heartbreaking. I cried
when I heard it. He admired
my transistor radio and I
asked him if I got him one
would he accept it. But no,
he wouldn't; he wouldn't ac-
cept anything but he was
ready to give"

Survivors, Pensions
Curly Bill.

This might we'll be the
nepotists' theme song: cts
nice work if you can get it,
and you can get it if you
try!"
Not long ago, after many
years of deprivation by wild
ows and widowers of de-
ceased Federal employees who
died before survivors laws
were enacted, a small an
nuity was given to the few
remaining survivors. Had
there been such a law the
children of these deceased
Federal employees would have
Jared much better. This an
nuity runs out in about a
year unless Congress appro-
pirates money to continue it.
What a calamity for them!
The amount has been small,
but, with increased medical
bills, every little bit helps.
A permanent pension has
been granted ex-Presidents
and their widows. Federal
employees families now have,
and rightly so, permanent
survivor annuities. Retired
officers of the armed forces
and their wives feel the pinch
seemingly of unfair compen-
sation for their service. So
on down the line, the least,
and by far the majority of
whom are those who retired
before 1948, and survivors of
Sation for their service. And
so on down the line.

service does make nepotism

THE POLITICAL MILL
Labor and the Democrats
BY GOULD LINCOLN

The leaders Of organized
labor are planning an even
more strenuous campaign to
elect q President of the
United States to their liking
than the great drive they
made last year to elect a
heavily-controlled Democratic
Congress. And unless the UNI
expected should happen, they
will be solidly behind the
candidate the Democratic
National Convention names
next July for President.
The "Jobless March" on
Washington. staged by the
president and vice president
of the AFL-CIO, George
Meany and Walter Reuther,
on Wednesday apparently had
two objectives--first. TO per-
Suade Congress TO vote q
wider extension Of unemploy-
ment benefits and to appro-
pirate more money to create
jobs, and second, to make
votes for the Democratic can
didates for public Office next
year, especially the Demo-
cratic nominee for President.
The delegates" who came to
Washington to listen to the
speeches made by Mr.. Meany,
Mr.. Reuther, Democratic con-
gresSional leaders and a cou-
pie Of Republicans, by their
applause left no doubt in any
ones mind that they were
ready to 60 along with their
leaders.
Blistering attacks were
made on the attitude of the
Republican President-his OPP
position to wide extension of
unemployment benefits to be
paid by Federal and State
governments, and his opposi-
ton to the large-scale Fed
eral Government expendi-
lures, demanded by the labor
leaders and many of the
Democrats in Congress.
Democratic Misgivings
There are, however, certain
Democrats who eye the efforts
of organized labor to control,
first their party, and then
the Federal Government, with
misgivings. One important
Democrat in Congress who
made a study of the 1858 con-
gressional election found that
organized labor had backed
practically without exception
Democratic candidates for
both Senator and Repre-
sentative in all the Northern,
Western and so-called border
States, and a material number
of those Democrats seeking
election in the South. Where
organized labor approved a
Republican candidate, it also
approved his Democratic OPP
ponent. But there were
mighty few Republican candi-
dates who had even this ex-
tent of favor from the labor
leaders.
This Democratic leader
admitted freely that the labor
leaders. because of their sue
cess in the 1858 election,
believe that they have the
right-and the power-to tell
this Congress what to do. If
the labor leaders succeed in
electing their candidate for
President next year, he is
confident that the labor lead
ers will believe they have the

About birds and people

I love the neutrality-suspicious.
larly the sparrows and
1 pigeons.
Last year while in Dupont
circle feeding the birds, I
watched the sparrows snatch
food away from the pigeons
like it was a matter of life
and death. I watched a fe-
male sparrow grab the food
and fly away to one Of the
trees, no doubt feeding its
young, I counted 10 trips.
There are certain types of
people who look at me as if
I were a nut or crackpot be-
cause I feed the birds, but
this would be a dreary world
if the birds didn't sing.
When you wake up in the
morning and hear them
singing, to me that is beauti-
full.

lone morning while / was
putting some seed on our
lawn on the side street, a
woman charged up to me and
asked me if l was putting
bread down. l proudly said
yes and she blasted me.
"She called me a crazy
woman, and / asked her II
she didn't like birds and
animals. and she said she
hated them and she asked

"She was going to send the
police up that night, she said.
I told her she wasn't fit to

II read your article some
months ago about the lovely
lady who feeds the birds and
squirrels at Scott circle. When
my Office was over that way
l used to meet her going into
the park and I would talk to
her and she was the happiest
person - she loved to talk
about the birds in back of her
house during nesting season.
and I went TO the Office and
told the girls that people who
like birds and animals are a
diff erent breed-they are
happy both on the surface
and in their hearts.

treat other humans better,

For several years there
was an elderly man coming
into Dupont circle feeding the
birds. I'd seen him for IS
years with a dog. and when
the dog died his heart broke
and he took to feeding the
birds.
II asked him why he didn't
get another dog, and he said
he was getting too old: well,
