That promise did not satisfy Michael Tighe. The Government had promised no less in the Weirton Steel case, only to fall flat in Wilmington court last week (see col. 2). The union did not want merely elections, which might not result to its advantage. It wanted recognition and a closed shop...
Judge Nields had to do some heavy reading. Last June Steelmaster Ernest Tener Weir installed a company union, modeled on that of Bethlehem Steel, in the plants of his Weirton Steel Co. at Steubenville, Ohio, Clarksburg, and Weirton, W. Va. Last September the Amalgamated Iron, Steel & Tin Workers (A. F. of L. affiliate) called a strike in his plants and demanded recognition from Weirton Steel.

The one thing which he cannot do, and it is the thing which he has been trying to do, is to merge the concepts of an organic state and natural rights. Natural rights would give the Weirton Steel Company and the laborers exactly the same backing; it is for this reason a useless doctrine in the solution of particular controversies. The organic state would treat the Weirton struggle as an industrial fact, and solve it in either of the two ways which its organic character might indicate...
