Wool Strike Said Maneuver
To Break Freeze on Prices
If we desire to secure peace ... it must be
known that we are ot all times ready for war.
George Washington to Congress. 1793.
Gloom isn't Warranted
A National public opinion poll came up
the other day with some rather astound-
ing statistics. It found that 30 per cent of
the American people thought the Russians
were winning the Cold War, while only
nine per cent believed this country had
the edge.
The rest either felt neither tide was
winning, had no opinion, or didn't know
what was meant by “cold war.”
But if this is an accurate index of U. S.
mood today, it is at sharp variance with
the facts as seen by many of our most able
leaders and seasoned experts.
Indeed, some of those officials are
pretty upset over what they consider the
foolish defeatism they find on every hand.
One such is Robert A. Lovett, Undersec-
retary of Defense, who can't understand
why a nation of such unmatched power
should at the peak of its strength be act-
ing like a weak sister in the face of the
Communist dragons.
People talk of pulling our forces but of
Korea at a time when they are plastering
the Red enemy hard and show every sign
of being able to go on hammering him.
People talk, too, as if 1950 were almost

satellite friends, and total loss for us.
workings of communism with the vision
and progress of free democracy.
She complains, however, that we of the
free world do too little advertising of the
positive side of our ledger. Many a com-
petent analyst looking at America today
makes the same complaint: we don't talk
enough about the good things, the things
that are going right both here at home
and in the rest of the world.
Says Miss Ward: “The Soviet half (of
the world) has shouted to high heaven its
re-imposition of slavery. The Western
World has introduced new concepts of
freedom and cooperation with conspira-
torial stealth.”
Don’t you think Miss Ward has some-
thing here?
Costly Heart Disease
February is the month devoted to the
annual fund-raising campaign of the
American Heart Association.
No one needs to be reminded that heart
diseases are the leading cause of death in
the United States. They account for up-
wards of 40 per cent of all deaths, outstrip-
ping the dreaded cancer by three to one.
This year, however, it may be more

BOSTON, Feb. 17. U—The strike
of 70,00C CIO wool and worsted
mill workers over a 15 - cent an
hour pay boost was spiced Satur-
day with an argument over the
price freeze question .
A union official said the Ameri.
can Woolen Co. "asked for the
strike so they could have a talk-
ing point with Washington relax
the price freeze.
That argument was advanced
Friday by James J. Ellis. Business
agent of the Massachusetts joint
board of the Textile Workers Un-
ion of America (CIO).

strike and we told the union we
didn't want it."
He said the strike "is not a way
of bringing pressure to bear on the
price freeze situation.”
Union chiefs said the strike,
which started Friday and affected
about half of all the woolen and
worsted workers in the nation, was
"universally effective."
No disorders were reported dur-
ing the first day of the strike as
pickets marched peacefully around
plants scattered throughout New
England, in other Eastern States,
and in the South.
The strike was launched after a
breakdown of negotiations between
the union and the American Woolen
Co., which sets the wage pattern
for the industry. The CIO-TWUA
held contracts with 20 of the firm's
25 mills.
Shortly after the strike got un-
derway. Emil Rieve, General pres-
ident of the union, telegraphed
President Truman that the pay pro-
gram adopted Friday by the Wage
Stabilization Board "simply will not
be accepted" by striking members
of the union.
He said the new wage formula
cuts off most textile workers from
any increases and limits others to
"pennies."
