Having curried labor votes by declaring martial law and shutting down Maytag as the strikers wished, he last week twirled around, permitted Maytag to reopen on Maytag terms and under State guard.

Convinced that the company was trying to starve out the strikers the union professed to welcome martial intervention, said all that prevented settlement was Maytag's refusal to negotiate.
