	Art Preis: Walter Reuther (1950)
		Walter Reuther, president since 1946 of the powerful and strategically placed CIO United Automobile Workers, is generally regarded as the most “up-and-coming” of the new generation of labor leaders who began their rise with the CIO.
		To understand Reuther’s aims, methods, role in the labor movement and the direction in which he is traveling, it is essential to understand the kind of union in which he grew up and on whose mighty shoulders he now stands.
		The real Reuther is a coldly calculating opportunist, able to play the “militant” one day and the “responsible” aide to the ruling class the next, who knows how to cater to the aspirations of the ranks with high-sounding “social plans” which he never follows through with a program of action.

	Harry Frankel: What the Steel Convention Revealed (1952)
		Philip Murray was compelled to call the Special Convention in order to give the ranks a chance to exert maximum pressure on the steel companies during the period of negotiations.
		Philip Murray would undoubtedly enter into negotiations with the industry with a much lighter heart were he dealing with the paper box or toy manufacturers of the US, and had at his back only a scattering of workers in secondary industry.
		Philip Murray and the other UMW men in the steel setup were not in the least averse to taking credit for this “gift” and used every opportunity to claim the credit, not only for the union, but also for the great gains which the steel workers received from unionization.

		Reuther had invited General Motors President Harlow Curtice to attend the convention, and debate the new proposals and Reuther's position that the only thing wrong with the country economically is "a serious imbalance" between expanded productive power and lagging purchasing power—correctible in U.A.W.'s case by signing a fat new contract.
		At week's end uneasy U.A.W. delegates, after approving the Reuther demands, voted to increase strike assessments for March, April and May from $3 to $5 a man, toward raising the $24 million strike fund to $50 million.
		They hopefully added a feature Reuther had not asked for: in case a strike does not come off, the extra assessments will be refunded.
