...like powder smoke to U. S. Attorney General Frank Murphy, who was Michigan's "sitdown Governor." With Franklin Roosevelt, he talked over the enormous monetary and social losses, the discredit cast on Labor's political friends. C. I. O.'s Vice Presidents Philip Murray and Sidney Hillman got telephone calls from Mr. Murphy. To Detroit went wise, placid Phil Murray, and into private conference with Chrysler's Keller. Meantime, the Attorney General telephoned to none other than Son Elliott Roosevelt. After broadcasting inaccurate noises about the issues in "the Chrysler strike," Son Roosevelt...
Obstacle. In Manhattan last week David Dubinsky looked back over the history of the C. I. O.-A. F. of L. dispute, found little logic in the present C. I. O. position. Four years ago, when Lewis, Dubinsky, and various progressives in A, F. of L., joined by Sidney Hillman's big, sprawling Amalgamated Clothing Workers,* formed the Committee for Industrial Organization, they did not demand industrial unionism for all A.

Even small marginal companies like Tycoon J. H. Hillman Jr.'s Pittsburgh Steel Co. were defying the rule of producing with 85% of capacity and rotating 15% under repair, were actually smelting ingots at better than 100% of nominal capacity. Bethlehem's battery of 30 old and new furnaces at Buffalo is now working at 100% for the first time...
