Ark taut 3E Paralysis On March J4, at tlie direction of .one man, our nation's coal produc 't?n was choked pfl. More than 400,-. *000 coal miners, were asked to leave their jobs for two weeks to be fol d?fwed by 07,000 railway employees 'whose job# depended upon transport ing coal. Th?C0use for this paralysis to a : ?fctTon of our economy was net any grievance about working conditions, pay, pensions, or vaca- 1 tions. It appears, however, to result ? ' from personal dislike of one man 1 ?for another. In response to the Presi- ? dent's appointment of Dr. James j1 Boyd as director of the U.S. Bureau j ' ot Mines. John L. Lewis ordered his 1 United Mi'ie Workers on a two-weeks layoff - ? ? i . * Excessive Power? ' 'Wllh.n his field. John L. Lewis pos- j s ??SSes the nearest approach to die- i tntd"ial powers of anyone to appear oh^ ?ne American scene. He has de- 1 11*. * Presidents and Congresses, crip- j V.ed production in the face of econ jtnic crises, and Routed the 'war effort by strikes in wartime. By di rectly controlling the output of a basic industry, he hold* power to ! strangle our entire economy with a prolonged strike. With this "spite" strike Lewis has 1 ?encroached upon two basic fundn- , mentals of our democratic progress: <l)Thf right of government to muku , appointments free of pressure, and f (2) Freedom to work. -"?l Warning Sign ; This action presents a real danger signal to the American public Tt shows what can happen when ?rre- i sponsible leadership of a great body of influence ? American lab : J~?oes" vn a rampage. The implications ate alarming If any one individual were powerful enough to dictate govern mental appointments with threats of ?<tr ikt^s. n new .era of ' demagogues would indeed be at hand. Such pow er would bo potentially disastrous The weapon of indiscriminate strikes is one which labor leaders alone control. Neither governnjrnt t\ or management possesses r such a power* The rank and tile of labor, ?too, because of their organization ;ire subject to the order? of thosi"1 lenders. M my labor leaders recog nize tais sit nation and act in a far sighted manner. However, the sel fish actions of anv one leader casts unfavorable reflections on the whole movement. National Responsibility No more loyal group of American citizens exists than the miners them selves It is sad irony tbese pertple should suffer the brunt of the' strike. According to t^e Associated Press, tiiay wAlt lose about ?vt m'llinn in wages dating the two .wevk lavoff.

This points up sharply the need for adequate lafcor legislation. With out, violating the rights of labor, we nut4tt draw clearly the 'line where those riahts end and national re sponsibility begins. The average worker has everything to gain in such legislation. Labor must be ac corded complete protection from ir responsibility ? found within its own leadershfp. or elsewhere.
