Forty-some years as an organizer and union leader brought him great prestige but little cash, and Ed McGrady felt that he owed it to his family to do better financially than the $9,000 he gets as second-string to Madam Perkins' fiddle. Last spring, he was reported to have declined a $50,000-a-year job with Distilled Spirits Institute partly because he felt that his job would not let him leave and partly...
