...Grey Advertising Agency (26th ranking, with 1956 billings of $35 million) recently reminded them in a memo that Grey's "clients and their products" are "to be boosted round the clock, wherever we are, whatever we do." In case they missed the point, Fatt thoughtfully attached a checkoff shopping list of his clients' products, including Kolynos toothpaste...
Among Batista's concessions to Mujal: an obligatory dues checkoff that puts $20 million a year in the union cashbox, gradually rising wage minimums set by the government wage board. New industrial investment during the past four years totals $612 million. The civic struggle has caused the tourist business to slump, but four luxury hotels are going up-including the 20-story Havana Riviera and the $22 million Havana Hilton (of which Mujal's Restaurant Workers' Union owns a $9,000,000 chunk). "Without a general strike in Havana," says Mujal, "Castro has no chance. As long...
Just what Captain Bradley's "just" demands were became clearer when federal mediators hurried I.L.A. and N.Y.S.A. representatives into further bargaining sessions. Agreement had already been reached on some sticking points (welfare benefits, dues checkoff), and others seemed negotiable (wages, work-gang size).

In another tape-recorded interview, a friend of the Fords explained why: "His wife Clara refused to let him fight it out. She didn't want to see a lot of rioting and bloodshed because of the strike...
...Medal for Labor. In the House, leaders were trying to jam through a labor law, already approved by the Senate, which would give the railroad unions the checkoff and the union shop (barred by the Railway Labor Act). Virginia's lean, conservative Howard Smith dourly protested. Smith didn't see "why we should confer the Medal of Honor on labor for pulling a railway strike when we've got a war in Korea." When Speaker Sam Rayburn persisted in trying to call up the bill, Smith demanded a roll call...
