The three mod- Study in Presidential els advanced by Graham T. Allison in Essence of Decision Decision Making are applied to the 1952 steel seizure to explain why Presi- dent Truman decided to seize the mills. In the first model Chong-do Hah and analysis, the steel seizure is explained as the action that Robert M. Lindquist maximized Truman's goal of maintaining steel produc- tion. In the second, it is interpreted in part as the result of the actions of governmental organizations that dealt with the dispute. In the third, it is explained as a makeshift compromise concocted under the pressure of an ap- proaching strike deadline. The Allison approach has some weaknesses, but is found to be useful for explaining pres- idential decisions. The limitations of presidential power in domestic decision making are noted.' The president of the United States has been called the most powerful person in the world. An individualin that position can destroy life on earth at the touch of a button. The presi- dent's decisions often affect all parts of the globe. As Harry Trumanonce said, "The Presidency of the United States of Americahas become the greatest and most importantoffice in the historyof the world" (Koenig,1964:7). There is, how- ever, a lack of systematic studies explainingpresidential deci- sions. Most studies of the president have been idiosyncratic biographiesor, on occasion, indepth personalityportraits, such as Burns's (1956) Roosevelt: The Lion and the Fox or the Georges' (1956) Woodrow Wilson and Colonel House: A Per- sonality Study. A more recent attempt to providea psychoanalyticalframework for analyzingpresidents was Barber's (1972) The Presidential Character. Predicting Per- formance in the White House. 2 Legalistictreatises on the powers and duties of the president have also been common, Corwin's (1957) The President: Office and Power perhaps being the most notable. Neustadt's (1960) PresidentialPow- er: The Politics of Leadership remains, of course, the classic work on the natureof presidentialpower. The only attempt to formulatea coherent frameworkfor analyzingpresidential decisions alone was Sorenson's (1963) Decision Making in the White House. Sorenson delineated a numberof limitationsthat restrictpresidential options and specified the majorforces affecting the context in which presidentialdecisions are made. In addition,he described an ideal eight-step process of presidentialdecision making. The only existing case studies of presidentialdecisions, such as Paige's (1968) The KoreanDecision or Allison's (197 1) Essence of Decision. Explaining the Cuban Missile Crisis, 1 dealt solely with foreign policy decisions. There are no de- The authors are grateful to Lawrence Uni- tailed, systematic explanationsof presidentialdecisions in versity for financial support in preparation domestic affairs.This study fills that gap by analyzingTru- of this study man's decision to seize the steel mills, answering the ques- 2 tion why, not how. The frameworkof analysis used is the See also Mazlish (1972), In Search of Nlxon series of conceptual models developed by Allisonin Essence of Decision, namely, Model 1, Model 11,and Model 111.3Allison, 3 however, did not claim that his models are models in the See Allison (1971) for a more complete strict sense of the term, but only loose conceptual exposition of the models, especially for how they were derived frameworks.

The government be- comes a single analyticentity with its own set of goals, values, and objectives. Governmentalaction is merely their maximization.The process of explanationinvolves the follow- ing inference pattern:given a governmentalaction, there must have been a nationalgoal or objective which the action was intended to achieve. The method of explanationis a form of vicariousproblem solving in which analysts put themselves in the place of the government and derive the correct goals, alternatives,and consequences. Why did the United States impose a blockadeon Cubaduring the CubanMissile Crisis? Because it was the most rationalway of getting the Russians to remove the missiles. In Essence of Decision, the unitary actor is the government. In this study, the rationalunitary actor is the president. In Model 11the focus is on the inputs and outputs of govern- ment organizations,with the basic unit of analysis being gov- ernmentalaction as organizationaloutput. Leaders may de- cide, but the informationupon which they make their deci- sions is generated by, and their decisions are implemented through,a set of governmentalorganizations. To explaingov- ernmentalaction at a certaintime (t), the analyst should examine the organizationscomprising the government and their routines, programs,repertoires, and standardoperating procedures (SOPs) at time (t-1). The best predictionof the action of governmentalorganizations at time (t+1) becomes their routines, programs,repertoires, and SOPs at (t). The Model 11explanation of the United States blockadeof Cubain 1962, for example, focuses on the routines and processes of such Americangovernment organizationsas the CentralIntel- ligence Agency and the navy. In Model Ill government decisions are not rationalchoices but the result of the struggle between different actors in the government who have various preferences and values and varyingdegrees of power and competence. The basic unit of analysis is governmentalaction as politicalresultant. To ex- plaina decision, the Model Ill analyst recounts the game be- tween the decision-makingactors that resulted in the action in question; such a game consists of the action channel-a programmedmeans of governmentalaction on a specific issue-the playersand their positions and preferences, and the bargaining.Thus, in Model Ill terms, the decision to im- pose a blockade upon Cubain 1962 is explainedas the result of bargainingamong members of the White House Executive Committee (ExCom). STEEL SEIZURE BACKGROUND The 1952 steel seizure was a significantevent in the history of the presidency. It was one of the strongest assertions of the preeminence of presidentialauthority and the decision of the Supreme Courtinvalidating the seizure was, as Rexford Tugwell put, "perhapsthe most serious setback the Presi- dency has ever suffered" (Bernstein, 1967: 273). McConnell(1960) provideda comprehensive documentary account of many of the events leading up to the seizure in his 588/ASQ This content downloaded from 128.83.205.78 on Thu, 26 Feb 2015 21:54:11 UTC All use subject to JSTOR Terms and Conditions 1952 Steel Seizure The Steel Seizure of 1952. Enarson(1955), a White House staff member at the time of the dispute, recounted the poli- tics of the steel seizure in his "The Politics of an Emergency Dispute." Neustadt (1960), also a White House aide during those months, summarizedthe events in PresidentialPower, analyzingthem in terms of his conception of the natureof presidentialpower. Stebbins (1971), in "Trumanand the Sei- zure of Steel: A Failurein Communication,"analyzed Tru- man's failureto win publicopinion to his side duringthe dispute. The legal implicationsof the steel seizure case and of the various battles in the districtcourt, appeals court, and Supreme Courthave been adequately handled by Westin (1958) in The Anatomy of a Constitutional Law Case, Bradford (1967) in The Steel Seizure Case, and countless articles in law journals.This study synthesizes elements of all these works to explainsystematically the seizure decision. The 1952 steel dispute had its roots in Truman'spartial mobilizationfor the KoreanWar. After the NorthKorean at- tack on June 25, 1950, Trumaninstituted a programof partial rearmament.Draft calls were increased, several reserve divi- sions were activated, and the defense budget was nearly doubled, risingfrom 8 percent of the GNP to 14 percent.

    YOUNGSTOWN STATE UNIVERSITY ORAL HISTORY PROGRAM 1952 Youngstown Sheet & Tube Steel Strike Personal Experience O.H. 1218 RUSSELL L. THOMAS Interviewed by Andrew Russ on October 28, 1988 Russell Thomas resides in North Jackson, Ohio and was born on January 18, 1908 in East Palestine, Ohio. He attended high school in Coitsville, Ohio and eventually was employed for the United Steel Workers of America in the capacity of local union representative. Tn this capacity, he worked closely with the Youngstown's local steel workers' unions. It was from this position that he experienced the steel strike of 1952. Mr. Thomas, after relating his biography, went on to discuss the organization of the Youngstown contingent of the United Steel Workers of America. He went into depth into the union's genera- tion, it's struggle with management, and the rights it obtained for the average worker employed in the various steel mills of Youngstown. He recollected that the steel strike of 1952 was one that was different in the respect that President Truman had taken over the operation of the mills in order to prosecute the Korean War effort. He also discussed local labor politics as he had run for the posiUon of local union president. Although he was unsuccessful in this bid for office, his account of just how the local labor political game was played provided great insight into the labor movement's influence upon economic issues and public opinion. His interview was different in that it discussed not only particular issues that affected the average Youngstown worker employed in steel, but also broad political and economic ones that molded this period of American labor history.

The Ohio State University, Ph.D., 1961 History, modem ; n University Microfilms, Inc., Ann Arbor, Michigan THE LITTLE STEEL STRIKE OF 1937 DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Donald Gene Sofchalk, B. A., M. A. ***** The Ohio State University 1961 Approved by Adviser Department of History PREFACE On Sunday, May 30, 1937, a crowd of strikers and sympathizers marched toward the South Chicago plant of the Republic Steel Corpora­ tion. The strikers came abreast a line of two hundred Chicago police, a scuffle ensued, and the police opened fire with tear gas and revolvers. Within minutes, ten people were dead or critically injured and scores wounded. This sanguinary incident, which came to be known as the "Memorial Day Massacre," grew out of a strike called by the Steel Workers Or&soizing Committee of the CIO against the so-called Little Steel companies. Two months previously the U. S. Steel Corporation, traditional "citadel of the open shop," had come to terms with SWOC, but several independent steel firms had refused to recognize the new union. Nego­ tiations, never really under way, had broken down, and SWOC had issued a strike call affecting about eighty thousand workers in the plants of Republic, Youngstown Sheet & Tube Company, and Inland Steel Company in six states. The Memorial Day clash, occurring only a few days after the * strike began, epitomized and undoubtedly intensified the atmosphere of mutual hostility which characterized the strike.

  • The Effects of Radical Groups on the Labor Movement
    THE EFFECTS OF RADICAL GROUPS ON THE LABOR MOVEMENT By HUGHi G. CLELAND* T HIS paper is, in a sense, a response to what was a most im- Tportant presidential address by Dr. Philip S. Klein at our meeting last year in Philadelphia. One of the striking points that Dr. Klein made at that time was that our journal, PENNSYLVANIA HISTORY, has devoted only one half of one per cent of its articles to Pennsylvania history since 1865. "Pennsylvania historians," said Dr. Klein, "know almost nothing about their state since the end of the Civil War, and do not seem to be doing very much about it."' Dr. Klein noted that we have also been somewhat unbalanced in our treatment of ethnic groups in the Commonwealth. The Scotch-Irish, the German church people and the Plain Sects, whose history has been treated quite extensively, today make up only about ten per cent of our population. The history of ethnic or cultural groups who have arrived more recently is still largely unwritten. One could not help but be struck by Dr. Klein's state- ment that there are now 200 Catholics in Pennsylvania for every Quaker and 200 people of Jewish faith for every Amishman. Dr. Klein believes that the study of the period since the Civil War and of the contributions of newer ethnic and religious groups is "the primary challenge of the next 25 years for the Pennsylvania Historical Association." This paper is an attempt to contribute in a very small way to filling the void. Primarily it is an attempt to indicate some of the areas where research would seem to be indicated for graduate students or more mature investigators in the next few years.

  • First to the Party: the Group Origins of the Partisan Transformation on Civil Rights, 1940–1960
    Studies in American Political Development, 27 (October 2013), 1–31. ISSN 0898-588X/13 doi:10.1017/S0898588X13000072 # Cambridge University Press 2013 First to the Party: The Group Origins of the Partisan Transformation on Civil Rights, 1940–1960 Christopher A. Baylor, College of the Holy Cross One of the most momentous shifts in twentieth-century party politics was the Democratic Party’s embrace of civil rights. Recent scholarship finds that this realignment began as early as the 1940s and traces it to pressure groups, especially organized labor. But such scholarship does not explain why labor, which was traditionally hostile to African Americans, began to work with them. Nor does it ascribe agency to the efforts of African American pressure groups. Focusing on the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) and the Congress of Industrial Organizations (CIO), this article attempts to fill these gaps in the literature. It explains why civil rights and labor leaders reassessed their traditional animosities and began to work as allies in the Democratic Party. It further shows how pressure from the new black-blue alliance forced the national Democratic Party to stop straddling civil rights issues and to become instead the vehicle for promoting civil rights. NAACP and CIO leaders consciously sought to remake the Democratic Party by marginalizing conservative Southerners, and eventually succeeded. The partisan transformation on civil rights is arguably became the party of states’ rights. The civil rights the most important twentieth-century case in Ameri- transformation arguably presaged the future partisan can politics in which parties changed positions on division on cultural issues as well.

  • A Program for Militant Trade Unionism
    WHERE IS THE CIO GOING? By GEORGE MORRIS What happened to the c.I.O.? The question is heard on all sides. For some time it has been evident that the c.I.O. was being led away from the fighting, drive-ahead spirit that won it great sup­ port in earlier days. The sweeping organizing drives and pace­ setting economic gains that made it so attractive to the workers in the past are now giving way to internal strife, inter-union raid­ ing, Red-baiting, witch-hunting, stagnation and decline. The c.I.O.'s leaders were once the targets of union-haters. They were Red-baited. Today the union-haters sing hosannas to most of these very leaders beCause they themselves picked up Red-baiting and witch-hunting as weapons against progressives in the unions. The recent C.1.O. convention in Portland brought the long de­ veloping situation to a head. Differences carne out into the open and were fought out between the dominant Right and progressive Left. For the first time a c.I.O. convention faced two sets of resolutions. What's behind this · division in the C.1.O.? Who is responsible for it? How can the c.I.O. be brought back to the forward-looking path it followed in its earlier days? For an adequate answer to those questions we should first retrace the c.I.O.'s development both to the time of its birth-days when it was united and progressive -and further back, to the historic conditions that led to its rise.
