Markle, director of the Michigan Unemployment Service, warned that that state. faces “what may be the worst wave of unemployment since V-J Day.” The coal strike made its first serious inroads in the transportation industry last night.

of the loss of sales before and during the strike. “President Truman told me he is doing everything possible to get labor and management to settle their differences,” Mr. Madden said as he emerged from the White House. “When I pointed out that in his veto message of the TaftHartley law he had predicted such chaos, he agreed. We both believe that the Taft-Hartley law is basically to blame for the present strike. “I am convinced that the steel moguls are refusing to negotiate so that they can use the TaftHartley law to wreck the union. “I ‘am sure the President will act when there is a national crisis. I do not know whether he will use the Taft-Hartley law, with its 80-day cooling off period, brought about by injunction, or the inherent powers of his office.”

These will get their $20 a week because their unemployment is secondary to the strike. Manufacturers felt both the public and the average working man have been “too complacent.” They credited this to the “good feeling” which came with the small rise in business in late August and September. > See Month's Slowdown “No one seemed to realize what we were getting to with the twin basic industries lihked in a walkout,” said one manufacturing spokesman. “By next week the bowl will go up, but it still would take the better part of a month or longer to ge{ rolling again if the strikes were ended this! instant.”
Industrialists were insisting the| union leaders had a “hot potato” on their hands and are trying to pass it to President Truman. “They have come up with 10to 25-cent raises regularly through the post-war years. Now they are at the end of 'the“line. They want Mr. Truman to handle it,” said a manufacturing spokesman. Between now and Christmas, it was estimated that at least a month of wages will be lost before the industrial mechanism can be put in action again. All of the big motor plants were getting ready to cut off payrolls in the second week of November, which will send unemployment soaring in more than 500 plants in Indiana.
