...recent decision of the Federal arbitration panel combines an understanding of the railroads' plight with a sympathy for the workers involved. Useless positions must be abolished, but the men now holding those positions must also be considered. The rail unions' exercise in self-interest hurts the labor movement generally at a time when it faces an uncertain future. By stubbornly resisting a series of impartial decisions, the railroad Brotherhoods serve neither their cause, management's needs nor the country's interest...
...chicken war-that silly but symbolic dispute between the U.S. and the Common Market-finally ended last week with each side holding a leg. After a dispute that dragged on for 17 months, a panel of neutral experts decided that the Six's tariff hike on chick ens had cost the U.S. $26 million in exports. Though the estimate of losses was only about half as high as the U.S. had argued, both sides could claim victory-the Common Market because the loss figure was much nearer to its estimates, the U.S. because the ruling implied that the Market...

For example, the panel appointed to arbitrate the dispute in the railroad industry probably will decide to reduce the size of work crews, if only slightly. Similar recommendations seem certain from the advisory committee studying the shipping industry. In fact, in most industries some loss of jobs seems probable. And merely to minimize the loss of jobs will require long and costly strikes, such as the New York and Cleveland newspaper disputes...

At last, the defeated wheel man jumped from the car and took to his heels. A few blocks off, the other crooks had abandoned the panel truck and presumably had gone elsewhere to rendezvous with the station wagon. But the imprisoned guards, meanwhile, were raising a clamor, and a passer-by called the police...
...foremost master of the ancient and dangerous medium of encaustic, a blend of wax, resin, varnish and oil fused together by heat. His paintings always burst into flame. Says he: "It's like working on a hot griddle, scrambling eggs." The result is a warm, waxy panel more durable and more translucent than oils...
