He discusses internal union politics during the fifties and recalls the Poughkeepsie strike in 1954. Stone then begins to trace the move toward graphic arts unity, and he gives his opinion President Ken Brown’s decision to re-affiliate with the AFL-CIO.  In part III Stone goes into more detail about the disaffiliation from the AFL-CIO in 1958 and then moves to the subject of efforts that have been made over the years with respect to merger, federation, or amalgamation.
