Highlights of the News On tho Strike Front The greatest strike in American history began with the walkout of 550,000 steel workers. Labor and industry moved nearer to a show- down. lour of the United States' largest industries are directly af- fected by the'struggle—steel, auto- mobiles, meat, electrical equip- ment Indirectly the strikes will touch every family. Reconversion will go into low gear. President Trueman tried to head off the clash but failed. Neither labor nor man- agement showed any sign of budg- ing from their positions. Both Sides of Case Mr. Fairless, head of the United States Steel Corporation, said; "la our opinion there is no just basis from any point of view for a wage increase . of the large amount you have proposed, which, it put into effect, is certain to re- sult in great financial harm not only to this ` corporation but to users of steel in general . (It could) only result in irreparable harm -to the American people." In reply, Mr. Murray, head of the CIO Steelworkers, charged: "Am- erican industries . have deliber- ately set out to destroy labor,unions, to provoke strikes and economic chaos, and hijack the American people through uncontrolled profits and inflation. They are determined to accomplish their objectives re- gardless of tate risk to our nation."

They lie in the excessive fluidity of French politics and• French politicians and in the implac- able struggle of the, French Com- munists for control. Since the course of events in France must of necessity have pro- found influence not only .on that country but also on Europe and on the world; the solution of the crisis precipitated by the resignation will bewatchedeverywherewith inter- est and concern, Revolt in Greece .A force of 1,500 to 2,000 rebellious Greek monarchists, opened an at- tack on the Peloponnesian port of IZalernata last week- in an effort to overwhelm the loyal garrison before the•arrival of Government reinforce- ments from Athens.

Cheering crowds in New York and Florida last week greeted a world -fatuous smile, cigar and V- sign.
