James Street in Newark, N.J. is like many U.S. city streets, almost a community in itself. Its atmosphere is faded elegance: a row of weather-beaten brick fronts with an occasional grubby little tobacco or tailor shop tacked on. In close-knit James Street, people keep tabs on their neighbors...
...year-old present constitution is tailor-made for men of bad will who would make themselves the law. Under it, a governor has so little power that he cannot appoint his own cabinet; he is subject to the will of boss-appointed "department heads." A fabulous bureaucracy has arisen: 135 separate state departments, and an archaic, top-heavy judicial setup of 17 different state court systems-many controlled by Hague.

Success Story. But, above all, Tailor's Progress is a success story for democracy in the areas in which democracy is most threatened-the relations of capital and labor. This success story divides itself into two parts. Part i includes the early struggle of the needle trades workers to be born and survive as a union. Part 2 includes I.L.G.W.U.'s long struggle with the Communists, who sought to use it as an organ of class struggle, its final defeat of this totalitarian influence under Sigman's and Dubinsky's leadership, and the union...
