m Tlie National Outlook
Ifn Settlement Os The Steel Strike
By Ralph Robsy
Utt h is been assumed that the |
9te*el ‘strike would be settled be- 1
fore the expiration of the eighty.
day injunction period. The basis!
dl tthlsj assumption was that both |
eednaaic and psychological sac-
I toils would lead the companies I
aid 4)ii«n management to reach j
ar( agreement. None the lass i
announcement of the settlement
as a major surprise. |
MF fMas a surprise 'oecause the
final; hearings of the presidential
fajst. finding board were as harsh
as** stieh a meeting could be. ’
The Upion president, David Mc-
Donald, was extremely caustic
in', his. comments about manage
ment, g claiming that the com- 1
ridni*s were trying to break up
the union. The chief of the
eompahy negotiators, R. Conrad 1
dooper, also was caustic, insist- .
ing the union was making in- !
flationary demands. Even the i
chairman of the committee saw
no possibility of working out an *
agreement because it was evi- j
dent mat, judging by these hear-,
ipgs, i union and management j
wfsre jnot only as far apart as |
ever, *but were taking a harder
position on their stands.
It appeared certain, therefore.

/ Chairman Chowan County I
I that "would be to
| have a vote by the employees
I on the last offer of management.
! But there was no hope that this
j would be accepted by the work
ers. There was no hope on this
I because the record shows that
■the union always makes this a
i vote of confidence in the union
leaders, not on the terms of
| settlement offered by manage
ment. In these circumstances it
is almost inevitable that the:
final offer be refused. I
t The next step would be term- j
ination of the injunction and j
presumably another walk out":
by the workers. At that point
, the Administration and the Con
' gress would be expected to step
in with some kind of a forced
1 settlement, and perhaps new
, permanent legislation designed
: to meet the problem of industry
' wide strikes.
J What the general public did
| not know was that some weeks
I ago Vice President Nixon start
ied a series of private meetings '
j with both the union spokesmen j
! and management, trying to re- i
solve their differences. Along j
with him was Secretary of Labor I
Mitchell. The final session was

m■ ■ ■
held in Washington and lasted]
twenty-two hours. This was
followed immediately by a press
conference announcing the set
tlement.
The terms of the agreement go
substantially beyond anything
management had offered previ
ously. Over the thirty-month 1
period the cost will amount to
an estimated forty-cent increase
per hour. In the aggregate the
cost will amount to over one
billion dollars, according to Rog
er M. Blough, chairman of U. S.
Steel.
Some of the steel companies
probably can absorb this rise in
j the cost of production, but oth
j ers cannot. Before too long we
j shall see higher steel prices.
; That will lift the cost of produc
ition of all steel using com
panies, and many of them will
' be forced to raise prices.
The only offset to this is the
fact we shall have so-calledj
peace in the steel industry. That !
the public has paid, and will:
pay, an enormous price for this
peace goes without saying. Even
more dismal is the thought that.
there is no; basis for concluding
that the samething will not be
repeated again and again and
| again—just as it has been over
j the past many years.

It’s the big political year with

pieces of political doub’e-talk
we’ll come across emanated from

A record year has been fore
' cast for distilled spirits sales in'
11960. It’s predicted that about
1234 million gallons will be con- j
jsumed. That’s a whale of a lot j

interesting to find out the j
