The second is that the lack of legislation granting the Administration specific pow- | ers to deal positively witf labor disputes f(m'hmm\ the Administration to defeat whenever its hand called by any strong combination. ! The first of these conclusions is an outgrowth of | the very nature of unions. There is intense jealous and competition between them a cone ion, members of cother unions exert pressure to obtain the me advantages. patently foolish to make an ption to the stab- jzaticn formula in one case and not expect it be used as a lever by labor generally.

It has nothing but its nv\n( prestige to back up its dictates. During the war this |had a sort of moral force which prevented frequent shutdowns. Now, however, this prestige has suffered a body blow. The Administration was bound norally to defend its policy It engaged in a slugfest and emerged the loser. It was backed into a corner, and it proved beyond all doubt that it was not armed with so much as a creampuff.
