...from Amalgamated lodges. Four out of five delegates went to the convention straight from the heat of the mills. Nearly half of them were old company union men who had helped lead their organizations into C. I. O. Daily for four days they packed themselves into the smoke-blue auditorium of Islam Grotto in Pittsburgh's slummy North Side, across the Allegheny River from the Golden Triangle. That the S. W. O.
