...necessity for the issue is explained by the fact that some three years ago control of the New York subsidiary was seized by a group with Communistic leanings. They declined to accept arbitration and forced a strike which lasted for nearly six months, cost the union treasury some $3,500,000 in cash reserve, the workers some $30,000,000 in wages.
