...need to mention names. Everyone knew Abel meant Ed Sadlowski, the 38-year-old director of U.S.W. District 31, which includes Chicago and Gary, Ind. The engaging, rough-talking Sadlowski plans to announce this week that he will run for U.S.W. president against pro-Abel Candidate Lloyd McBride, 60, the head of St. Louis-centered District 34. Sadlowski has some chance of winning the February election, given the Steelworkers' tradition of successful insurgencies. Abel himself ousted David J. McDonald as union president in 1965, and Sadlowski won his district presidency in a bitter 1974 campaign against an Abel-backed...
...free the industry from the boom-bust cycle that used to attend union bargaining. Steel users would pile up huge inventories during the talks to carry them through a strike, then cut stockpiles after agreement was reached, sending the mills into a slump. Organization Candidate McBride is willing to keep the no-strike approach, if possible, when contracts are renegotiated next summer. Sadlowski thinks the discarding of the strike weapon emasculates the union...
...though Sadlowski's grassroots, "Hi ya, buddy" style is appealing to rank and filers, he is not well known outside his district. Some Steelworkers familiar with Sadlowski are suspicious of his friendships with such men as liberal Washington Attorney Joseph Rauh and former J.F.K.-L.B.J. Speechwriter Richard Goodwin. McBride, who went into the mills at 14, and has made a name for himself as an organizer, accuses Sadlowski of neglecting his organizing duties as head of District 31. Sadlowski supporters concede that their man has not accomplished as much as he might have, but say the reason is that...
Dandied Breed. The second part features Patricia McBride and Jean-Pierre Bonnefous as a couple of turn-of-the-century footlight entertainers who dance to old music-hall songs. Their act is based on the antics of a dandied breed of street hawkers known as costermongers (after the costard apple). It is frail, bathetic stuff, yet touching for the loneliness Balanchine suggests...
Died. Mary Margaret McBride, 76, homespun radio talk-show hostess whose loyal fans once filled Yankee Stadium in tribute; after a long illness; in West Shokan, N.Y. On network radio for nearly 20 years, she started her guests talking comfortably "by telling a story about them that's funny or sweet." A Missouri-born Baptist, she refused to advertise either alcohol or tobacco but kept a number of food sponsors very happy (and her weight at 180 Ibs. or so) by sampling their products on the air and talking lyrically about them...
