Stevens & Co., the textile giant, fearful that Stevens will close any plant that votes in a union. Stevens bosses, says Tate, do not make that threat directly because it is illegal, but their wives and relatives pass the word in gossip. In the West, Chaikin charges, owners of some garment plants have prompted the U.S. Immigration Service to raid their own factories and arrest signers of union cards as illegal immigrants?which many indeed were...
