...Honolulu in 1935 and, forming an alliance with Red-lining Harry Bridges, boss of the West Coast International Longshoreman's and Warehouseman's Union (I.L.W.U.), waved the flag of unionism. Organizer Hall planned first to win control of the vulnerable shipping points on the docks, then move boldly inland toward the vast sea of laborers in the pineapple and sugar fields...
Slums & Culture. As they move into statehood, Hawaiians have their share of juvenile delinquency, traffic snarls, slums and crime, but they also have an extraordinarily high literacy rate (more than 98%), a topflight university (coming soon: a $200,000 East-West Cultural Exchange Center), a fine art academy and a symphony orchestra; and bustling new suburban complexes, studded with ranch houses.

Featherbedding has helped to break whole firms: automakers now contend that it was a major factor behind the demise of Packard, Hudson and Kaiser cars. The United Auto Workers often insist that several types of skilled workers-machinists, oilers, carpenters, metal handlers-work on a single...
