Regents set up for him four years
ago when he took on the job. Last

posals offered by a court or
disinterested tribunal?
The absence Of any effec-
tive machinery to deal with
strikes is tragic. Several
steps now might be taken. In
dividual labor unions could be
required to abide by the
wishes Of a national commit
tee or federation of labor
leaders. Employers could be
required to submit to the de-
cision Of a national board or
committee composed of rep
resentation Of employer in
terests. No individual, of
course, should be permitted to
serve on such q committee in
dealing with any case II he
has an interest In any COM
pany or union organization
that is a party to the dispute.
At this stage this is not
the same thing as arbitration.
1t would still be a process Of
negotiation through a disin-
terested study Of the issues on
each side by men who would
accept the responsibility for
making recommendations.
Congress could require that
the essential financial facts
be made available by the use
Of the subpoena power, and
it could be provided by law
that settlement proposals
agreed upon by the two ma
tional commissions could not
be disregarded and a strike
called. If, however, the two
commissions couldn't agree,
each of the two groups could
be required to choose a board
of arbitration whose decision
would be final.
No formula will seem at
tractive to those who have
heretofore been given a free
hand. But the consequence
has been a form of economic
anarchy, the recurrence Of
which must be prevented.

utary purpose If the deep
seated feeling Of protest
which has swept the country
is recognized by Congress as

in a few days. But it is I'M
likely to offer a clearcut an
swer on the economies of the

procedures Of the Hindustan

insist that even an uneco-
nomic domestic production Of
flat steel would be preferable
to the drain on foreign ex-
change required by the pres
ent import of these products.

What Government Legally Cannot

unions the right to bargain
collectively and to strike coll
lectively. In the New York
newspaper strike, the mem
bers Of several unions which
had no part in the bar
gaining" done by other unions
were thrown out of work.
Employers in self-protection
had banded themselves to-
gether to bargain as a unit
and to refrain from publish
ing when their competitors
were being shut down by a
strike.
Public officials from the
President down took q
"hands-off" attitude for a
long time. Expressions Of
disapproval were later voiced,
and the Governor of New
York and the Mayor Of New
York City took a hand sep
arately in actually trying to
bring both sides together.
But there was even then no
compuision about acceptance
Of mediation or Of the pro-
posals Of a mediator. The
strike drifted on for nearly
four months until financial
exhaustion approached. A
settlement procedure was ar
rived at, but it was and is no
solution to the problem it
self-how to achieve the
goals of each side without a

The issue now goes back

Costly strikes cannot be toll

The profits lost also will
never be restored. The ques-
ton is whether economic

will be ignored or some eff
fort will be made to find a
legislative remedy.
A solution can come only
through the law-making

Those nations now receiving

The seeds of political con-
flict exist in the contradic-
ton between the administra-
tons interest in financing
a government-owned steel
mill in India and the adj
monition Of the Clay Com
mittee against foreign aid
support for state enterprises
which compete with private
industry.
II the administration de-
cides to go ahead, the con-
troversy will be a big one
because the amount is large
some $500 million over a
period Of three years-and
because the claim is made
that the funds could be OBJ
tanned from private sources
If the opportunity were OPEN
ed to free enterprise.
The underlying issue Of
capitalism versus socialism
is sharpened by the recent
history Of steel expansion in
India, where privately-own-
ed plants have performed
far more successfully than
the three mills constructed
and operated under the aegis
Of a new state enterprise,

The New York City news
paper strike has had a pro-
found effect on the Nation.
The theory that ut can't
happen in free America" has
obviously been proved fall
lacious. A large community,
comprised Of millions of citi-
zens, has for months been
deprived Of its own news
papers-a contingency which
our forefathers considered
serious enough to cause
them to insert a spe-
cific provision in the Con-
stitution forbidding the sup
preston Of the press by Gov
eminent anywhere in the
United States.
But apparently nobody
thought then that private
groups could do what the
Government couldn't do and
yet be immune from any pen
atty Of law. Today the powers
of a private government"
exceed in many respects the
powers Of the national, State
and city governments them
selves.
Assuming that both sides
in a labor dispute feel justi-
fled in pursuing their own
detectives from an economic,
or even sociological, stand
point, there is still a crucial
question that has gone UNI
answered. Does private power
that damages and inflicts
substantial losses, financial
or otherwise, on other groups
Of citizens have an unlimited
and unrestricted scope Of
operation?
The right to strike has
been imbedded in Federal
and State law. The right Of
an individual to work or re-
frain from work is supposed
to be immune from interior
ence. But it isn't. A picket
line intimidates and often
forcibly prevents a man from
going to his job. He, in effect,
has lost in free America his
right to work.
