A 1935 Toledo initiative by Assistant Secretary McGrady formed a 10 member industrial peace board with labor and management and later added eight more. In six months it helped settle seven disputes and five long strikes without injuries, keeping payrolls and production on track. The city improved public prestige as workshops, merchants, and workers benefited.
