...This was considerable, despite Murray's first words as president ("I protest the use of Government pressure to force a shotgun agreement between the C. I. 0. and the A. F. of L."), despite his announcing that his first job was an immediate organizing drive in "Little Steel" and Ford. The show over, John L. Lewis clapped on his grey sombrero, lit one of his endless cigars, and lumbered home to read Shakespeare, satisfied that he was victor in his latest convention battle. Busy Sidney hurried back to his defense job. He had not exactly...
Colonel Hashimoto is an extremist's cynosure: he is tough, aggressive, cruel, tenacious, mystical. He loves action, and he acts by instinct.

...Alabama steelmaker is Republic, which took over volatile Gulf States Steel three years ago. At Gadsden and Thomas, its eleven furnaces, 94 coke ovens are straining to turn out 650,000 tons of steel annually. Republic's district boss, Charles L. Bransford, must worry over his low-grade ore reserves. Instead of envying T. C. I.'s higher-grade ore, he built a pilot mill, is experimenting to find better ways to smelt his resources...
