If Mr. Lewis gets an Increase out of present negotiations, what he gets for the A. F. of L. United Mine Workers—and how he gets’ it—will cut pattern . for other unions. Watch food and other commodity prices, If the present slight turndown continues, the wage drive will be affected. Threat of new. union-control laws also will deter labor ieaders, Fact of the matter seems to be that labor legislation of some sort will be passed anyway. Labor support is at discount now. Warnings of union leaders that G. O, P.s 1946 triumph may not be repeated in 1948 carry no menace. And Democrats themselves may try to take lead in proposing restrictive measures.
