Beside him sit his four horsemen: Leon C. Marshall, political economist; Arthur D. Whiteside, executive of Dun & Bradstreet; Sidney Hillman, labor executive; Walton H. Hamilton, lawyer and economist-a potent team whose days are given to wrestling with economic problems, with captains of industry and leaders of labor. Chairman Williams' administrative officer is William Averell Harriman, son of Capitalism, who has made more of a mark in NRA than he made...
