•THURSDAY, DECEMBER 3, 1959 Strom STEEL STRIKE AND NATIONAL BUDGET Although the nation’s steel workers are back at work and steel production has resumed at least temporarily, the far-reaching effects of the strike will be felt for some time to come. The extensive consequences of the suspension of steel production could well cause the revision of several national policies. It now appears that the national government’s loss of revenue resulting from the steel strike will be the differ ence between a balanced and an unbalanced budget for fiscal year 1960. The budget submitted to Congress by the Pres ident was balanced by a narrow margin, and Congress ac tually appropriated slightly less than was proposed in the budget. The revenue estimates on which the budget was based, however, anticipated an eight percent increase in gross national product, a percentage increase which has occurred only once in recent history—1955, the year fol lowing a major tax reduction. Without any ; jor suspension in production, it would have been surprising for the bud get revenue estimates to have been realized. Whatever •chances existed for such an increase in gross national pro duct, the steel strike has foredoomed. The budget revenue estimates will not be matched by collections. Government policy and laws w ith respect to strikes which endanger the national health and welfare will almost cer tainly be subjected to agonizing appraisals should the .strike resume after the 80-day cooling-off period. Demands are already being heard for more effective procedures than are now contained in the law, despite the fact that the Taft- Hartley procedure has proved effective in 10 out of the 14 instances where it has been utilized. No Compulsory Arbitration Compulsory arbitration is an tagonistic to the American pril- •osophy of both government and economics. Arbitration in a labor •dispute is vastly different from the familiar court arbitration of a contract. In the latter case, the HEAR Newberry Music Club Presents from 4 to 5 o’clock Sunday V.

Compulsory arbitra tion of a labor dispute, on the other hand, would involve a process of forcing both labor and management to sign, and be bound by, a contract to the terms of which neither might be agreeable and which has been drafted and impressed on them by an agency of the government. Even the dire consequences of the steel strike do not justify a resort to compulsory arbitra tion of labor disputes. It is posible that a partial so lution to the dilemma lies in the decentralization of c o 1 le ctive bargaining. A change in the nat ional labor law could prevent collective bargaining at a level higher than the individual com pany, so that negotiations of labor contracts would have to be with each company rather than an entire industry. While “pattern bargaining” might still result in all contracts within an industry having iden tical terms, the danger of an industry-wide strike would be materially decreased. Another Possible Solution Under the present law, the fact finders appointed by the President when he invokes the Taft-Hartley procedure have no /authority to make recommend ations for the settlement of the strike. If this group should be authorized to make recommend ations to the President, their recommendations would surely marshal the full force of public opinion, and from a practical standpoint, might well be equi valent to compulsory arbitra tion. A less dangerous course, which holds possibilities for im provement, would be to author- izethe fact finders to make re commendations for the settle ment of the strike if no settle ment has been made or is in the prospect after 70 days of the 80-day cooling-off period have elapsed. Should the strike resume af ter the 80-day period has elap sed, there is no question but that the National Government will have to enact more strin gent measures to prevent re occurrences. Even ’ such a tower of economic strength as resides in the economy of the Unitec States can ill afford repetition of this economic disaster. THE BAFFLES By Mahoney IT WILL WORK FINE NOW, MRS.BAFFLE.
