...fully 25 years," testified Sidney Hillman last week, after cheerfully admitting that he was a pretty poor cutter, "the Amalgamated Clothing Workers of America and Hart Schaffner & Marx cooperated in a labor-management relationship that was not only steady, unbroken and progressive, but also mutually beneficial. . . .
