Ajti-Strike
Lgislation Needed -
THE RECENT SETTLEMENT of the
'captive coal strike, while it is grat-
ifying, does not in any way lessen the urgent need
for anti-defense strike legislation. In view of
Pr sident Roosevelt's conference with congres-
sional leaders Monday, it is evident that the plan
to jrestrict work stoppages is being kept near,
the top of Congress' program and will follow the
pr te-fixing bill. Such action is encouraging be-
cause it is definitely a job for, Congress. The
theat of a nation-wide railroad strike remains
ungiiminished, and the present wave of strikes
all over the country can be expected to continue
Lntil the government adopts an adequate policy
denanding compulsory arbitration.
The settlement of the coal strike came as a
surprise to those who had kept in close contact
with the strike, for John L. Lewis had personal-
ly rejected the plan earlier in the week. In view
of his past inconsistent political policy, he un-
cloubtedly has some view in mind besides the
"good of the nation." Neither he nor his cronies
hMlave'r bothered much hithertof ore about the
what's-good-for-the-nation-is-good-for-us atti-.
tude and his recent change of heart is probably
due to more than President Roosevelt's sixth ap-
peal. Perhaps he has begun to realize that the
patience of the President and the American
people has been tried to the breaking point and
that Congress in its present mood will not be de-
terred from enacting strike curbs.
HE RESENT FIGHT between the Amer-
ican people and the labor unions is due
to the contention that the United Mine
Workers and other unions of both the AFL
and CIO have aright to enforce their rule
by rioting and slaughtering. Until fairly re-
cently, President Roosevelt has ignored, even
condoned, mass picketing and, rioting, but
even those sympathetic with Labor's rights
cannot approve such outright defiance of
public authority and coercion when it tends
to interfere with the operation of the na-
tional war policy. When unions decline fair
mediation and strike against national de-
ense, when fights start when men try to
pasthrough picket lines to reach their
Sork, when for their ownselfish aims labor
eaders stop the wheels of industry, then
tjhey should be made to realize that there is
a vast difference between the right to strike
d the right to riot.
If the National Defense Mediation Board had
voted 9-2 in favor of the United Mine Workers,
ad owners of the captive mines had refused to
accept the Board's decision and resorted to a
.oc1out, the public reaction would have been
the same as it is against the unions, and the
mihe owners wuld have been denounced as
arrogant and unpatriotic. Time and again the
en4loyers are forced to accept the decisions of
arbitration boards, but the unions can strike in-
definitely. Something will have to be done -
and soon - to prevent a complete breakdown
in defense production.
At'THE PRESENT TIME the OPM reports
that there are 17 stoppages of progress in
plants with known defense contracts, five of them

4,800 workers. Our national safety is being jeop-

WASHINGTON-Republican National Chair-
man Joe Martin isn't advertising it yet, but he
has found an issue which he thinks may swing
the House of Representatives against Roosevelt
in 1942. It is the "Raw Deal given to Little
Business Men y the New Deal."
This has the New Deal itself ifrantically wor-
ried, for the latest defense experiment to protect
little business has just blown up.
This is the inside reason behind the trip
of Floyd Odlum to the Mayo clinic at Roches-
ter, :Minn. Officially it's ulcers. But back
of that is worry over failure to spread war
contracts among little business men.
It hasn't been announced yet, but Odlum is
getting out. He is going back to Wall Street
where he finds running big business a lot easier
than trying to take war contracts.away from
big business and give them to little business.
ODLUM, who is head of the Atlas 'Corpora-
tion, outsmarted some of the best brains in
Wall Street, but he found he couldn't break
through the rampart of Army-Navy brass hats,
the OPM One-Dollar-Men and all the other red
tape artists who belieded in throwing contracts
in the easiest direction - to big business - and
letting little business go into bankruptcy.
Defense Stepchild
,Odium has accomplished some results. He has
doubled sub-contracting. But these orders, im-
pressive by themselves, have not kept pace with
the rapid widening and deepening of the little
business crisi4 - as material, labor and other
shortages have increasingly curtailed non-de-
fense production.
DRASTICALLY NEEDED is a surgical reor-
ganization of the whole defense contracting
system, making little business an integral part
of defense production instead of a stepchild to
whom a few scraps are thrown occasionally when
its yelling becomes annoying.
The big complaint against Odlum is that in-
stead of tackling this basic difficulty immediate-
ly, he built up an elaborate administrative or-
ganization that looked grandiose on paper but
did not keep the wolf from the door of small
business. Time is of the essence these fast-
moving days. Scores of little plants are shut-
ting down daily. Good intentions, no matter how
good, won't keep them going.
oDLUM was too polite, too anxious to get along
with people, was too steeped in Wall Street
salve. He talked about joining the Army and
