...unprecedented formal alliance, the C.I.O., the A.F.L., the United Mine Workers, the Machinists and the Railroad Brotherhoods had got together in a strictly political organization and dubbed it the United Labor League. The auto workers' Walter Reuther had invaded the state to denounce the author of the Taft-Hartley Act. From labor headquarters had rolled thousands upon thousands of pamphlets, posters, books, a lurid comic book (drawn by Al Capp's brother Elliott) attacking and lampooning Taft.

Gold, however, made it plain that he was resigning only so that his union could comply with the Taft-Hartley Law, and that after 30 years he was still as good a Red as ever. The New York Daily Worker, which ignored Lee Pressman's switch completely, clucked sympathetically over Ben Gold, who to hold his job would have to hide his true colors...
