...man who best symbolized labor's posture in midsummer 1949 was C.I.O. President Phil Murray. As anxious as any labor leader to get what he could for his steelworkers, Murray was in no mood for a strike at this time. After all, steel production was already beginning to exceed demands. The solution he found last week was one that would probably become familiar: turn everything over to labor's good friend, the President.

When the news of Big Steel's surrender reached the United Auto Workers convention in Milwaukee, a listless show stirred to life. Walter Reuther perked up perceptibly. The U.A.W.'s scrappy president is not a man who likes to let George do it-or even Philip Murray.

As enthusiastic about Masonry as he is about everything he has ever taken up, he went up through Scottish Rite with his father beside him, became a 32nd degree Mason, then went up the other route to Knight Templar. In 1926 he "crossed the hot sands," i.e., took the initiation into the Order of the Mystic Shrine...
