A. i Biggs, in the ilail Bag on Nov. 23 was interesting in that it showed the irresponsible and . emotional approach to the problems associated with the steel strike. Mr. Biggs condemned the president y for invoking the I which any person la w, something charged with the well being of the'whole country could not have avoided. As I see it, the labor unions are in existence because some people ( business 1 have invested money, organized a business and made jobs available to the work--, ing people. By the same token, a business is in existence only so long as it serves some useful purpose to the American public. Thus, the high man. on the totem pole is John Q. Public, and it was in his interest that the presij . dent acted. how anyone can I, don't see deny that the steel shortage and the exploding waveof was s e r i o u s .enough to cause the president to act. I wonder if Mr. Biggs would " grant the U. S. Air Force .the right" to strike until the grievances of its members were satisfied, or if he would allow the American Medical Association members to strike and refuse to treat the sick until they were granted some concession? It was not long ago that union men and leaders went to Washington demanding action from the president about the unemployment that existed in the country. Now, however, the unemployment caused by the steel strike (estimated to have been 1,275,000 in addition to the 500,000 steel workers by the ned of November) is not considered as a serious problem by these same people. I would like to suggest to Mr. Biggs that emotional outbursts ' against, either" government or big business (he represented the president as "luxuriating in the lavish guest home of a steel company president") do not impress people very mtich. One reason for this is that the 'same finger that is pointed at big business can be pointed toward big unions also, since, their leaders now make the big salaries, have the lush expense accounts, have just as much power, and have the cor' ruption to equal whatever corruption is found in big business. The steel strike has been an extremely unfortunate affair for the steel workers of our area. Apparently they are caught 'in the middle' of a gigantic struggle between two powerful forces, with the main field of battle being working rules and conditions. I certainly don't' know the answers, ahcL I don't know who does. If the companies" are trying to "emasculate" the union, as union publications say, this is wrong because it would counter the great good done by the labor movement and do away with one powerful check force which the Taft-Hartle- - . . resultant-unemploymen-t j , j j . j . j '.
