Wages were not an issue this time. With both congressional labor bills dead-aimed at their right to bargain under the Wagner act, they were scrambling against time for a contract which would give them a dues checkoff, a liberalized retirement plan, the right to speak for non-union foremen as well as F.A.A. members. Ford officials conceded that the strikers might be able to cripple production within a week...
Last week Sherman Bowles's non-union and all but adless Daily News reached 80,000 circulation despite pickets around the building. Its circulation is now half what the entire monopoly's was before the strike. People bought it, ignoring strikers' pleas to take out-of-town papers instead.

Yet the question remains whether the key Democrats in this key area will desert in numbers large enough to allow a clean oppositionist...
...electricians pledged themselves not to install jukeboxes. As Petrillo, dressed in two-tone shoes and a cream-colored silk shirt, made the rounds of unmusical bars, another friendly columnist, the New York Post's Earl Wilson, stalked him behind a glass of beer at Toots Shor's non-union spot...
