...Prospects Beyond Paralysis" [April 2] was a powerfully written essay, showing concisely the unhealthy state the United Nations now finds itself in. But even in this position of weakness, the U.S. must not abandon this world organization which, as the late Eleanor Roosevelt said, "is the only place in history where the whole world has hung its hat and gone to work on the common problems of mankind...
...this an unfair labor tactic? Yes, said the NLRB, because the lockout forced the unions to abandon their wage demands. Moreover, it was so timed that it nullified the unions' strike power during the company's most vulnerable period. The court sharply disagreed. The company showed no antiunion bias, said Justice Potter Stewart for the unanimous bench. Rather, it legally used the "bargaining lockout" as a corollary of the "bargaining strike."

...past two years. Spurning Government subsidies, Heineman has employed modern technology-from computers to helicopters-to cut his expenses and win back business from the highways. He led the fight against railroad featherbedding, enduring a costly strike and winning labor contracts that have set an industry pattern. Urged to abandon the North Western's commuter operation-which was losing $2,500,000 annually-he instead modernized equipment, advertised for passengers. Last year his road earned the nation's only commuter profit...
