...where all of organized labor could view him, where all of organized labor would have to applaud him, whether it liked him or not. His legal position was debatable; his moral position was worse. The court had merely ordered him to postpone-until the legal questions of his coal contract could be adjudicated-an action which would do the country great injury. This was the order he had defied. The order was the first step to an injunction, a word which labor mortally hated and feared. So on the bridgehead of Injunction Horatius took his stand...

Promptly another old friend, Powers Model Edna Ryan, now a little confused, rose and pinned a label on him: the Artful Dodger...
Nothing doing, said Marathon. Reason: while Johnson was away, Marathon had spent about $20 million on expansion, had boosted its output at Marathon, Ont. from 50,000 to over 200,000 cords a year; thus Johnson's annual income under his bonus contract, instead of being about $20,000, would now be over $30,000. Rehiring him at this figure was "not . . . feasible...
