Abstract
This chapter traces the origins of the NAM and establishes its basic posture just as World War II visited the US. It follows the development of the organization from the turn of the century as the first major employer’s association in an America of rising corporate strength to the foremost champion of the country’s largest manufacturing concerns in their fight against the rising strength of organized labor.
