When the young man or woman ets back home from the armed services, what does he or she usually do? Get married? Get a job? Perhaps the quickest way to find the answers, without taking a national poll, is to read the community newspapers of the United States, which so faithfully reported news of those in the armed services f f V I I t s home town, according to the (Texas) Facts, and married the manager of the local telegraph office.

Despite these objective or origins of the proposal, the CIO auto workers and indeed even AFL President Green Immediately protested and indicated they would resist. In advance, Mr. Truman felt so sure that they would accept that he acted without legal authority to set np commissions for the auto strike and for the threatened steel strike. DECISION OF BOARD NOT TO BE BINDING I think the basis of the union objections is not primarily to the plan itself. If the unions have a just case, they can get justice from the program. A final decision by one representative of labor, one of management and the third deciding man from the public, represents the best possible hearing labor could expect to get for its cause. Even then the decision Is not binding. It merely represents a public Judgment as to what Is right and just, and carries only the weight and power of Its manifest fairness. But the anions have bnllt np a great pressure game now behind the anto workers' case. That strike was the front running test case for the 30 per cent wage Increase demand, backed by all labor including Mr. Green and his AFL, althongh they have not said much about this phase. White heat fervor has been worked up among the strikers and other union men eagerly watching the result of the contest. It is not often noticed in the public prints, out the human element, the human passion and excitement of leaders and men in strikes, is unquestionably a greater factor in the decisions which union leaders make than the wage facts of the matter, or the working conditions. labo- velvet.

Denunciation and recrimination of the managements, and vice versa, naturally characterize the negotiations rather than any cool consideration of the facts (see Thomas-Renthtelegram to the President). The whole situation runs to emotionalism and propaganda on both sides. er Now, the Truman plan to eliminate all that and require both sides to submit their facts to impartial Judgment, should have come out of conference. the The President and his advisers had planned It that way. From the inside, it would appear they leaned back too far in allowing the conferees to have their own head.

Schwellenbach remained away also, and Mr. Truman only saw the delegates In occasional groups of threes and fours. The great Impetus which has made the railway labor mediation base program so successful (only one minor strike in 19 years) was because both labor and management wanted It and got together.
