...faced Manager Florence ("Jiggs") Donohue and onetime Truman Attorney General J. Howard McGrath, Estes sadly read off his statement. Stevenson, "alone with me," fought his way through the primaries, said Estes; Stevenson had polled "over 600,000 votes more than I." Since Estes did not want to see a deadlock at the convention (and, by inference, the possible victory of someone who was not a veteran of the primary wars), he was withdrawing in Stevenson's favor. There were "no deals." He hoped that his delegates (estimated at 260 by Kefauver, at 200 by others) would go along with...
Prospects for a quick end to the walkout seemed dim, though Government-inspired negotiations were expected to continue this week in Manhattan. Despite the deadlock, the National Industrial Conference Board found one bright note: the settlement, when it comes, should produce a new fillip to the economy. The board recalled that the eight-week steel strike of 1952 "produced a strong, but relatively short-lived, boom" as manufacturers built up their inventories, and a strike of similar or less length in 1956 "could well produce the same results again.

Actually, for all their apprehensions about joint bargaining, the idea had some attractions for the steelmakers; e.g., in case of deadlock they could present a united employers' front, make it more difficult for the union to negotiate separate agreements and pick them off one by one. By seeming to bow to McDonald's strategy, the steelmen were also boosting the union chief's stock with his men. The industry...
...status of 36 workers fired for picketing violence was also compromised. The company agreed to reinstate the men on the payroll, but suspended them from work until their fate is decided by union-management negotiations at local plants. In case of deadlock, arbitrators will make the final decision...
