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

court has jurisdiction to require
the parties to agree to a settle
ment which is within the terms
of a contract originally made by
the parties. 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.
