Although he worked with Lee to organize the wildcat pickets last fall "because our union let us down," he now thinks it impossible to support another non-union strike.

The profitable Philadelphia Record died during a 1947 Guild strike; also struck by the Guild, the Brooklyn Eagle stopped flying...
