Nation. One practical economist, C. E. Wil- son, president of General Motors, pointed this out recently in a talk he, made before 4, representative group of executives from avothef gonsumer, goods industry. “There aye many reasons why the next ten years cag be and should be the most prosperous years in the history of our country,” said Mr, Wilson. “However, this Prosperity will not be achieved through an- tid! iti@ustry-wide strikes and continuing industrial warfare. Perhaps collective bar- gaining implies some strikes threatening the prosperity of all of us. We can all Have more only if we produce more. We cannot promote prosperity or achieve old age se- evrity for millions by restricting or shut- ting down production. “In General Motors we have done everything we possibly could to minimize | the effect of the steel strike on our | Starting last May accumulated all of the extra steel we could above our current requirements hoping there would te ne stele but as insurance in case there Thus, when the steel strike occurred the firet of October, we had about three | weeka’ supply of teel above the minimpm that would normally have been required te maintain our carrent schedules.

Retail businesses of all sorts have felt the blight of the steel and coal stvikes in the aveas of these operations: in recent weeks, and even now, with exten- es in the automotive in- au »€ the three weeks of lost preduction Mr. Wilson mentioned, the same results are being felt. When one man goes out on strike in America, a dozen families besides his own eventually feel the loss of a pay check.
