Public Disgust. The steel strike, said Adlai Stevenson in a speech to the Institute of Life Insurance in Manhattan, marks "the end of an era. Everybody is agreed that this cannot happen again, that the public interest is the paramount interest, and that irresponsible private power is an intolerable danger to our beleaguered society." To keep it from happening again, Stevenson proposed that Congress arm the President with an arsenal of new antistrike weapons, ranging from boards empowered to make settlement recommendations (present law bars Taft-Hartley boards of inquiry from offering recommendations) to compulsory arbitration if the two sides...
Conservative Columnist David Lawrence, no admirer of Adlai Stevenson, called the proposal "the most significant utterance this year on labor issues by any political figure." Stevenson, said Lawrence, had voiced the U.S. public's deep disgust at the "irresponsible use of economic power." But despite public disgust, despite President Eisenhower's stern admonition before he departed for Asia that "America needs a settlement now," despite the danger than an aroused public might prod Congress into passing drastic antistrike legislation, Dave McDonald and the steel industry's negotiator, Conrad Cooper, broke off negotiations at midweek in another display...

It lays down a hard line against President Eisenhower's personal peace campaign ("Good-will tours are an inadequate substitute for solid policies"), attacks Administration defense policy ("The Republicans believe money to be more important than military security"), calls for a full-speed...
...freedom one would expect of an ink drawing, while still retaining that rugged quality essential to a woodcut. His style, usually a decorative realism, varies with the mood and subject matter; but in almost every print Amen succeeds in evoking his desired effect, whether it be that of power or of mere cuteness...
