There was little likelihood that the small plants, employing not more than 3,000 workers, would dare to vote against C.I.O. The huge C.I.O., with jurisdiction over 85,000 workers at River Rouge and 3,000 at Lincoln, could and doubtless would boycott parts made in the 14 "feeder" plants. But there were some 29,000 other Ford employes in other parts of the U.S. If, after the election, A.F. of L. felt it had strength enough, it would probably demand elections in those outlying plants.

This put SPAB in a position to veto Congressional appropriations for bridges, harbor improvement, other "pork" contained in a $1,000,000,000 rivers & harbors bill now before a House committee. If SPAB uses that power, it will doubtless run into the same trouble as did the Baruch board-which had to beat down opposition from the Senate, from such characters as Mayor Hylan of New York City, whose $8,000,000 school project was stopped...

Not only for the specialist in American literature, but also for the general reader, this volume will fill a long-felt need. It is a book to keep on the table beside you--to dip in whenever you come across some obscure reference, name, character, or book in our literature...
...truth doubtless lay somewhere between these two extremes...
