...increase fringe benefits, frozen by contract since 1949. But a more significant reason was their high regard for U.S.W. President McDonald. By giving him a fat new contract without trouble, management also gave him increased prestige and power to match up against his old antagonist, C.I.O. President Walter Reuther. Said one top steel executive: "The steel industry knows that it is going to have to deal with the union problem on a permanent basis. It therefore wants a sober, responsible, conservative man running the union, and not some Socialist element...
With rare beef and red wine, 320 A.F.L. and C.I.O. leaders in Washington's Mayflower Hotel last week celebrated their new no-raiding pact. C.I.O. President Walter Reuther and A.F.L. President George Meany supped at the same table, then rose to call for a united labor movement. The pact, said Meany expansively, was "the first step toward unity...
...well-publicized ceremonies in Washington last week, A.F.L. President George Meany and C.I.O. President Walter Reuther got 65 A.F.L. and 29 C.I.O. unions to sign a no-raiding agreement that calls for arbitration of jurisdictional disputes.

To even out buying, C.I.O. President Walter Reuther once suggested a sliding price scale with lower prices in slack seasons. But there is already such a sliding scale because of bigger trade-in allowances and discounts during the winter. And the industry is still subject to the ups and downs of boom and recession, which could easily exhaust...
...farm, the level of employment in the cities-will be a big issue. A Republican seat that will be heated more than-most others by economic factors is that of Michigan's Homer Ferguson. Increasing unemployment in Michigan, particularly in the automobile industry, and C.I.O. President Walter Reuther's cries on the subject are hurting Ferguson. The Democrats have yet to pick their candidate, but the leading prospects are two former U.S. Senators: Blair Moody (1951-53) and Prentiss M. Brown...
