After World War II, in 1946, strikes by unions were ravaging the United States.  President Truman had caved into communist Josef Stalin in the post-War negotiations, giving Stalin everything he wanted in Eastern Europe.  Many feared communist infiltration of labor unions in the United States, and the devastating work stoppages hurt the economy and alarmed the public.
