The general strike which began in Terre Haute, Ind, on Monday morning collapsed in less time to the than the similar strike in San Francisco a year dited to]ago. It was prompted by a dispute between an the | enameling company and its employees over the ques- g ticn of union recognition. The development of this A o A ey T T 5 n AROER dispute into a general strike involving more than LU0 workmen in forty-eight unions was not of- ally the work of the central labor body in Terre |Haute. It was authorized by the unions at a rump |meeting not convened by the central labor organi- zation. The responsibility for resorting to a weapon used only twice before in American labor history— at San Francisco in 1934 and at Seattle in 1919—is clearly theirs. From the start the strike was effective. It suc- ceeded in crippling all forms of transportation, clos- ing restaurants and retail stores and preventing the delivery of such essential goods as milk and ice. But the very effectiveness of the strike proved to be its undoing. at San Francisco, and it is bound to be the case whenever the general strike is used. Public opinion is swiftly alienated by a course of action which deprives a whole community of the necessities of life, paralyzes its business, destroys its revenues and threatens its peace. Government has no alternative, FAITH IN ROOSEVELT. Despite the concerted effort to show President Roosevelt in a failing light, the Chief Executive still retains the faith and loyal support of the American people it is on every hand. Frank T. Bell, Fisheries who was a week-end visitor in Juneau and is rather when it comes to finding out the reactions of the body politic, has just made a. trip throughout the country before coming North and everywhere he found the rank and file still have belief in the President. And it is not a blind faith, as some would have us believe but it is honest support for a program with which all the people are now thoroughly conversant. They are aware of certain shortcomings but they are convinced the Roosevelt purposes are bear- ing fruit. Industrialists, contrary to some pessi- mistic reports, are making money. The factories are operating and orders are pouring in. Farmers of the Middle West are getting back on their feet and thousands of them have left the relief rolls. For the most part they are in harmony with the agri- cultural program and they are putling their should- ers to the wheel in an effort not only to bring back their own recovery, but result, the economic all the | THE CHANGING WORLD. strike in the sense of restoring That is why the general strike the same measure that it succeeds. There is no alternative to failure in' the ‘long run authors of the strike are prepared to assume con- trol of local business ‘and local government, to preserve order and to supply the community with those things without which it cannot live. That is why the general strike is properly regarded, by those who understand it, as an instrument of social revolution rather than as a serviceable weapon in an ordinary industrial dispute. In the present case the general strike has been called off forty-eight hours after it was proclaimed, but the strike at the enameling plant continues. Federal conciliators are attempting to settle it and thereby to remove the cause of a dispute which violently interrupted a period of gradual improve- ment in industrial relations. The threat of a coal strike still hovers in the background. But when data are available the record of the last six months will probably show that the number of hours of employment lost through strikes has been consid- erably less than the comparable figure for tne cor- responding period last year. essential services. inevitably fails evident Commissioner, an expert economic as a indepedence of ople o Speed Is Es (Salt Lake Tribune.) In his informal address to the rectors in Washington the other Roosevelt made a personal appeal to these local officials to expedite their work in évery possible way. After expressing “pardonable pride” in. public works accomplishments to date, Mr. Roosevelt finally charged them: “Remember that speed is of the es- sence, 'We want the work done, but we want it done now.” With this position the general public will be in hearty accord, for if there is one thing about the PWA program that has been apparent for a long time, it is that this excellently conceived plan has been failing in the local communities. According to Mr. Ickes' own report, large blocks of PWA money are still earmarked in Washington, but due to local indifference and lack of leadership, these moneys have not been made available; and as a result, the unemployed have not yet been benefited.
