Gradually Finnegan & Co. discovered that there was very little left of the Truman-Harriman campaign but glowing embers. Clearly it was high time to light a few bright Stevenson torches to get the parade going again. The first bright glare came from Michigan...
...A.F.L.-C.I.O.'s Walter Reuther, fanned out in a relentless search for a copy of the plank. At length they got it; when the subcommittee presented its plank to the full platform committee, a civil-rights agent smuggled out a penciled version of the wording.

In the 28 months since then, the strike has degenerated into the nation's oldest, ugliest major labor dispute, bringing vandalism, bloodshed and violence to the pretty beer-and-bockwurst city of Sheboygan (TIME, April 18, 1955). Unable to budge Kohler from its adamant stand, the U.A.W. is now moving the biggest boycott in U.S. Jiistory against the company. All over the land the U.A.W. is preaching to other unions...
