...hint that the troops might not prove an unmixed blessing to C. I. O. came early in the week when Governor Davey ordered his National Guardsmen to enforce a stiff injunction limiting picketing in the steel town of Warren. Labor's reply was a sympathetic strike in Warren but after one day C. I. O. called it off. The Governor's decision to allow the reopening of plants brought the C. I. O.'s full wrath upon his head.
