Spontaneously, over 100 of the union's 2,750 locals have passed resolutions for a special convention to rescind the dues hike, among them the 20,000-man Local 1014 at U.S. Steel's Gary (Ind.) plant, the Steelworkers' biggest unit.

When the curtain opened on Mozart's The Marriage of Figaro in the new $2,500,000 arts center of St. Mary's College, the house was packed; when it closed, the audience was happily enthusiastic.
