...Many basic problems are left unsettled, may grow to monstrous size and reappear in the same industry in the next six months, and are almost certain to be raised elsewhere. First, can a minority group of perhaps ten or fifteen percent force a much greater group of satisfied employees out of work? Secondly, is it possible for this striking group to use as its weapon the illegal occupation of plants? Thirdly, can unions continue to have what Mr. Justice Brandeis called "practical immunity from legal liability," can they stave of, even in such instances as the present, incorporation...

He is perfectly willing that...
...Bridges, determined to tie up the shipping on the Coast, and demonstrate his power, refused arbitration conferences then, and persisted in having his "basic demand" of the closed shop granted before any arbitration began. Instead of the active opposition used in 1934 the owners pursued a policy of watchful waiting, hoping the public would soon sicken of a strike which bade fair to dry up city after city on the Pacific Coast. The public, however, lulled into lethargy by such gilded phrases as "economic royalists", and "well warmed capitalists in well warmed clubs" that were on the lips...
