Lewis and his CIO didnt get anywhere near all they demanded in the General Motors strike. They did get some concessions and, more important, got official recognition as a bargaining agency in employer-employe difficulties. Mr. Lewis is now known to be looking at the coal and steel industries, and considering plans for conquering them. Other strikes are in the offing notably in textiles. The has technique apparently become an established phase of strike strategy, and laborites tri believe that both employers and ,i government officials will hesitate to evict even though they have court injunctions behind them, because of the possibility of violence and bloodshed. With great wars impending, the investor and the industrialist are i. iU naturally cautious. A big strike not only imperils property it also reduces purchasing power, perhaps to the tune of billions, and so shrinks the consuming market for eoods and services of all kinds.
