...year of great labor upheavals, last week's ample budget of strikes all but constituted a lull. Many of them, like the Plymouth four-day walkout of 11,000 workers at Detroit, were caused by jurisdictional disease. Some of them, like the grave diggers of Kansas City who in one day kept ten bodies from burial, originated in nothing less prosaic than demands for union recognition, closed shop and wage increase.

As director of purchases for the company since 1934, bristle-topped, freckled Mr. Bradley had an inside view of the effect of Andrews' cavalier administration. Having been a vice-president and director of the old Paige-Detroit Motor Car Co. and a director of its successor, Graham Paige, he also knew a great deal about the independent automobile business. In the spring of 1936 Bradley took counsel with Hupp's director of sales and chief engineer, drew up an analysis of the company which...
