Murray's involvement in the steel negotiations kept him from active direction of the C.I.O. offensive at the Democratic Convention. Less skillful hands than his were on that helm. When Alben Barkley publicly blamed labor for his withdrawal, it was the worst black eye the unions had received at the hands of a top Democrat in many a year. The A.F.L.'s shrewd Dave Dubinsky, who had not attended labor's famous breakfast with Barkley, laughed at the discomfiture of the C.I.O.'s Walter Reuther, Who had been a leader of the stop-Barkley movement...

...rationalizing" competition by mergers. Having rationalized railroads, he had gone a long way toward rationalizing steel before he conceived his master plan. He had merged two steel plants, an ore company and a railroad into the Federal Steel Co., with Illinois' Judge Elbert H. Gary at the helm, and merged 19 steel-fabricating plants into National Tube. Yet the whole steel industry was still dominated by Pittsburgh's sturdy Scottish rebel, Andrew Carnegie, who in 1900 turned out almost half of the nation's annual 10 million tons...
