While matters simmered, U.A.W. Vice President Walter Reuther began discussing interpretations of the no-strike pledge with representatives of Detroit's 350,000 U.A.W. members. Reuther's interpretation: that the pledge applies only to plants doing war work. This stand seemed to add new strike threats to automakers' other reconversion bogies. But labor said no-it would mean fewer strikes. Reason: collective bargaining machinery, which has rusted under cover of the war emergency, will again be used to settle disputes, thus avoiding needless walkouts...
...Policy for Full Employment, written by Dr. John H. G. Pierson of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, shows how in general the views of such laborites as Clinton S. Golden (United Steelworkers), Marion H. Hedges (Electrical Workers), James Carey (C.I.O.), David Kaplan (Teamsters), George Meany (A.F. of L.), Walter Reuther (Automobile Workers), et al., compare with those of such managers as Beardsley Ruml, H.

...Convention was not what it formally resolved but what it revealed of Labor's feuds and fears. The 2,100 delegates bet, finagled and politicked in smoke-filled hotel rooms like a typical U.S. political convention, and talked like Labor's Town Meeting. The delegates elected Walter Reuther first vice president over Communist-backed Dick Frankensteen by 345 votes, then turned round and elected Frankensteen second vice president over Reuther's nominee, Dick Leonard, by about 300 votes. Apparently the rank & file seemed to think they could best protect themselves by perpetuating the U.A.W.'s civil...
