...week's end the war seemed hotter than ever. The day before the court decision, U.S. Steel Executive Vice President R. Conrad Cooper, top industry negotiator, told the Virginia Manufacturers Association that the union enjoys "vastly" greater power than the companies; that Steelworker President David McDonald is the "only man who can choke off our nation's steel supply at will." When the Supreme Court order was announced, McDonald agreed to obey "the law of the land," but struck a do-or-die pose. Cried he: "Steelworkers do not quit.
