YOu know, I remember reading that article when it came out in 1946 (?).  I know that year when we could have sold ANYTHING we got SIX tractors.  Most of them C's. 
I firmly believe that communist inspired strike was the beginning of the end for Allis Chalmers. 
Remember they went into WWII in basically third place in the Farm equipment industry.  When this was over they never seemed to do better than 5-6. 
Would love to see the article.  That was a MEAN strike.
Good Luck!

Would like to see it too.  I think A-C workers went on strike in '68 also.  The neighbor had a 190 XT in the assembly line when it happen.
