"New memoir is called small time. A story of my family and the mob. We'll continue our conversation in just a moment. This is fresh air. I'm Jay Williams. If I've learned one thing from my journey to the NBA and beyond, it's that we all have moments in life where our limits are tested. What I want to talk about is how we define those limits and what it means to exceed them. My show is a blueprint for how to do that. From some of the biggest names in sports, business, and culture. Listen to the limits from NPR. We're speaking with Russell's short up, who's written several books of narrative history. His latest focuses on his grandfather, who was an organized crime boss in the industrial city of Johnstown, Pennsylvania in the 40s, 50s and 60s. The book is called small time, a story of my family and the mob. So this organization that your grandfather and his brother in law ran in Johnstown had a great run in the 40s 50s things changed in the 60s and it kind of fell apart. Why? Well, throughout the 50s, of course, there was this growing pressure in American society to for the government to recognize that there was this organized crime syndicate that was all over the country. And until then, during their heyday, they were able to my grandfather and his brother in law were able to operate quite in the open. And I think Kennedy coming into The White House, Bobby Kennedy deciding he's cracking down on the mob and then this inconvenient murder of a bookie in town. All those things happen at the same time. And that brings this new focus. Suddenly all this pressure is being brought to bear. And there's a new mayor and he's kind of got to clean up this town kind of mayor. And that spelled the beginning of the end. That murder suddenly, within a couple of months, city cigar shut down for good. They continued their operation for a long time, but it was on a much lower level. I want to talk just a little bit more about Johnstown, Pennsylvania. You know, I live in Philadelphia. And anybody who is in Pennsylvania when you hear the term Johnstown, you typically think of an event in that city's history, which was a disaster. I mean, essentially, on the scale of 9 11, back in 1889, just tell us that story. The Johnstown flood. Of course, everybody in John stone grows up with the story of the flood..

"A war. It's now early. Eighteen ninety two roughly two and a half years since the johnstown flood. Andy is the largest steel producer in the united states his size he's looking to reorganize again and bring all his businesses. Save for it coke under a new umbrella. The carnegie steel company. We're talking about an enterprise with the value of twenty five million seeing profits of five million per year yeah not too shabby. Meanwhile andy's increasingly enjoying being a philanthropist. In new york alone. He's throwing millions into a glamorous new music hall as well as teamed up with the famous banker. J pierpont morgan to create a botanical garden and a massive arena called madison square garden. Okay these aren't straight up charity. But there are some charitable aspects in there and he's playing those up that set he's also doing some straight up charitable stuff like building libraries. Oh does any love gifting. The public libraries. It's part of why many on both sides of the atlantic would be happy to tell you the andy carnegie. Isn't one of those immoral robber barons rather. He's an enlightened industrialist. But it's amazing. How fast perceptions can change about sixty miles west of johnstown pennsylvania just a few miles outside. Pittsburgh is a town of ten thousand called homestead any employees three thousand eight hundred workers in his steel mill here. Seven hundred eighty of whom are skilled workers represented by the most labor union in the steel industry. The amalgamated association. The amalgamated current. three year. Contract is about up and its representatives are feeling good about the upcoming negotiations. It's no secret. How well carnegie steel doing an andy has gone on public record as we well know stating his support for collective bargaining so surely figure this will go smoothly but it doesn't the ascendant chairman under the newly organized company h. Clay frick is digging in his heels. On three items i he says these employees whose pay reflects a sliding scale related to the cost of steel need to accept a new minimum rate of twenty three dollars per tonne rather than their current twenty five dollars. There's no maximum payout and so clarke's if they are open to the benefits of highs they can share more of the burden that comes with the lows second. This contract expiration date needs to move from june thirtieth to december thirty first to better line with the calendar year. Finally a third point with another aspect of pay determined by the mill's output. He says the amalgamated needs to accept a reduction here as well because it's the new technology they've invested in not the workers the has significantly increased output. Well the union reps aren't standing for this. They think this is ridiculous. They're willing to come down to twenty four dollars on the sliding scale but no less as for changing the day they know it has nothing to do with the counter and everything to do with steel sales dropping in the winter. They are moving to the years weakest point just to give carnegie steel the upper hand in the next sit down and ask for output click hitting. These men worked themselves to the bone. He risked their lives in dangerous mills. That's productions up not his new tack so now we are two perspectives. But here's the real kicker fight only relates to three hundred. Twenty five of the amalgamated seven hundred eighty men at the three thousand eight hundred employees homestead mill in other words. It's a small group but things get heated fast. Clay has a three mile fence built to encircle the mill. It has holes supposedly for a lookout but the kind of look more like a pork for rifles. And it's topped with barbed wire. He also rex guard towers equipped with searchlights. What on earth well. The thing is clay's overreacting because a strike a few months ago at the edgar thomson. Mill has spooked. Also wants to show andy he can handle things. Scotsman is a little checked out right now playing in his native homeland. Let's not mince words for all his progressive talk. Andy's given klay pretty much full latitude in these negotiations. But you know if you want the skilled and unskilled workers to set aside their differences which they most definitely have as the first group significantly out earns the ladder turning the mill into some sort of prison slash military. Outpost is a solid way to do it. The impasse negotiations folds right through the contract's expiration. On june thirtieth. Meanwhile clay orders the mill. Closed starts looking to bringing in strikebreakers in response an army of skilled and unskilled steelworker sees the mill but the moustachioed carnegie chairman isn't backing down. Play will build his own army. Just past two a m july sixth eighteen ninety two three hundred pinkerton men clamber into two large barges along the ohio river. Just north of pittsburgh between them. They have three hundred pistols two hundred fifty winchester rifles and more than enough ammo on food to lay siege the soon heading southeast travelling via the local river systems toward the homestead. But as they move in the dark of night labor union century notices them. He telegraphs the mill. Watch the river. Steamer with barges left here an hour and a half later at four. Am the three hundred well-armed pinkerton derive their greeted by an army of five thousand steel men and their families. Some of the workers take shots tugboats pulls the largest toward the dots. But you delete her. Hugh o'donnell tries to avoid a firefight with the boats shouting distance. He calls out on behalf of five thousand men. I beg of you to lead here. At once we the workers in these mills are peaceably inclined. We have not damaged any property. And we do not intend to if you will send a committee with us we will take them through the works and promise them a safe return to their boats but in the name of god and humanity. Don't attend to enter. These works by force. A pinkerton captain jumps onto the dock. He answers we were sent here to take possession of this property. We don't wish blood. But few men don't withdraw. We will note every one of you down and enter in spite of you. You'd better disperse for land. We will but follows. God details all the time isn't it. Who's in a different place. Different time and different people. But i've told you the story before more than once. Further words exchanged there's more posturing and then it happens to guns discharge and yeah you guessed it. We don't know which side fired for. All we do know is the battle has commenced to armies both of whom have more guns than experienced soldiers fire at each other until five pm nine evening. Perhaps we can think they're inexperienced for the relatively low death.

"Dakota reporting an inch and a half in the range gear engage. This morning northeast. North dakota caught rains yesterday. Johnstown bean company general manager dylan carly says the near one inch terrain near johnstown is good for the dry edible beans. A lot of the other crops are already at a stage where the small grains are pretty much done and finished out. the corn is tasked sling. It will go a long ways there but edible beans and sugar beets are really gonna shine. They've been heat-stressed and water stressed kinda throughout the year so the plants are smaller than normal but overall we still have a decent decent stand out there. There's nothing that's gonna make a great yield or anything because the pro plant structure is just a little too small to hang very many pods on there. But at least now with this little shot terrain they should be able to continue to try and put on the first set of beans. At least carly's says now is a crucial time for the dry bean crop they're just into flowering stage and basically that's where they're going to start setting their pods. So if you don't get water during flowering and pod fill which would go continuing into august. They just won't hang onto them at all they'll kind of slough offsets pods so. This was really critical in this week. Everybody had kind of been looking at their ten day forecasts. Seeing ninety five degrees with no rain in the forecast this was pretty critical to hang onto them where we would have seen them go backwards very quickly.

I'm making overby agresource company. President and bossy said yesterday's commodity markets were heavily impacted by a risk off mentality in the macro markets in a lot of these big funds. They look at risk holistically. So if you're losing money in stocks if you're losing money in crude oil or other commodities you pare back in other places and that was the theme in thesis of the day which is getting smaller. And then we'll see what weather and crop conditions in the weeks to come and bosses. Weather continues to support the grains overriding the macro concerns especially in the wheat market. That concern that the canadian dryness is one for the record books along with that. We had a freeze down in portions of brazil para rio grande disol- santana redid that really nip their crop. It was just in that late booed early head. Stage and concerns are high that maybe some of that we crop got nips and we had our friends in kazakhstan which put a moratorium on grain exports limiting wheat but also banning feed grain and so those kind of combined if you will get the weed market a bullish profile here today.

Hsi services director of product development brian. He'll is encouraging farmers to think ahead about what you're going to need for next year. We're placing orders for products. Now that we would have placed three or four months from now we have folks on the manufacturing side A lot of girls will think about the actual brand names from a raw material standpoint of some of the products that i mentioned earlier. And there's a lot more. We're placing order for propylene. Glycol for some of our products now that we would have had readily accessible to ten months from now i mean we. This is unprecedented. What we're dealing with right now And if from a standpoint i would recommend the same just talk with your supplier. Make sure that they feel comfortable with their supply and that they'll be able to have a what it is that you absolutely. No you're going to need and this year has been the perfect storm for supply chain backups. We had an ice storm in texas where they're not set up to handle it on an ice storm and a lot of the companies that manufacture some of the basic raw materials. That are the backbone of a number of different products that in the marketplace whether they be fertilizers or pesticides Simple things like propylene glycol. Simple things like citric acid those raw materials. All of a sudden became very scarce because of the production disruption and then also because we had a supply disruption with the pandemic. we had ports that were having staffing issues whether it be over in europe or whether it be at the united states we started to get a disruption in the barge channel zack.

Bay Curious
What Would Happen If Chabot Dam in the East Bay Hills Broke Open?
"What would happen if chicago damn cracked open an empty the lake behind it onto neighborhoods in san leandro and east oakland. It's an alarming thought. We asked cake. Ud's dan bricky. Who's reported on safety issues at california's oroville dam to find the answer. Holly and vickers kings question is a really good one because it reminds us that all dams pose risks of some kind given the nature of the job they perform holding back huge volumes of water they can turn from placid lake into deadly torrent. If unleashed all at once. They deserve very close attention. When that attention lapses catastrophes can do happen in late may eighteen eighty nine flood. Water overflowed badly maintained private dam in western pennsylvania. Triggering its collapse. A wall of water race down the valley below a century later. Historian david mccullough said. The johnstown flood was so vividly alive in the local consciousness. I grew up in western pennsylvania. I'd heard about the johnstown flood my whole life as children. We used to shout run for the hills. The damas busted little knowing what real terror is in those words. The flood wiped entire towns off the map and killed twenty. Two hundred people in california owns its own special chapter in the history of dam disasters with a tragedy that unfolded more than ninety years ago in a remote canyon fifty miles north of downtown los angeles from the day. The saint francis dam opened in one thousand nine hundred twenty six. It leaked the folks in the farm. Towns downstream used to joke. They'd see you later if the damn don't break on march twelfth nine hundred twenty eight. The saint francis damn disintegrated just hours after it was pronounced sound by los angeles water. Chief william mulholland who had designed and built the two year old structure when the massive concrete dam broke apart water raised more than fifty miles to the pacific ocean killing about four hundred fifty people along the way but those events one hundred thirty years ago in johnstown ninety some years ago in los angeles county sound like ancient history much more recently california. Got a lesson in how dangerous and costly failure of even part of a major dam can be failure ambiance spillway structure results in an uncontrolled. Lisa flood waters from link oroville and eating evacuation from the low twenty. Seventeen collapse the spillway at oroville dam in the northern sierra foothills one hundred thirty miles northeast of san francisco touched off a series of events that lead local officials to order one hundred eighty eight thousand people to flee their homes. This is not a drill. Repeat this is not a drill. Spill ways are crucial to preventing overtopping. That's what happens. When a reservoir rises over the top of the dam and simply spills over a spillway is like an emergency valve. Damn managers can open to safely release water from a reservoir bills over the top but back in february twenty seventeen oroville dam spillway began to disintegrate just as a series of winter storms dumped huge amounts of rain across northern california without a fully functioning. Spillway lake oroville rose rapidly water poured over a hillside that was supposed to serve as an emergency spillway. That emergency spillway began to fail to leading to the mass evacuation. In the aftermath investigators found the emergency spillway was ill conceived and the main spillway was badly designed poorly built and inadequately maintained. So how is should bowe damn different from all those bad dams and what does east bay mud have to say about. Chaba cracking open and unleashing catastrophe on the east bay. Simple answer to that question is that the dam would never crack open. That's jimmy yolly east bay mud director of engineering and chief damn safety officer he oversees the district twenty six times including chabad. Damn the reality is that the dams are designed such that. They don't just crack open. You will see signs of a failure if one is to occur and The dan's designs with monitoring equipment to make sure that you can see that happening if it was a east bay mud confidence that a dam built within a quarter mile of a dangerous fault will stand up to violent shaking. Let's take a look at how the dam was first built. Nearly one hundred fifty years ago and how it's been maintained since

"Shorto, who's written several books of narrative history. His latest focuses on his grandfather, who was an organized crime boss in the industrial city. Johnstown, Pennsylvania in the forties, fifties and sixties. The book is called small Time, a story of my family and the mob. So this organization that your grandfather and His brother in law ran in Johnstown had a great run in the forties fifties. Things changed in the sixties, and it kind of fell apart. Why? Well throughout the fifties. Of course, there was this growing pressure in American society to for the government to recognize that there was this organized crime syndicate that was all over the country. And, um, until then, During their heyday, they were able to my grandfather. His brother in law were able to operate quite in the open. And, um, I think that Kennedy coming into the White House, Bobby Kennedy's deciding he's cracking down on the mob. And then this Inconvenient murder of a bookie in town. All those things happened at the same time. And that brings this new focus. Suddenly s O in town. You had That you had the Tribune Democrat, which was the main newspaper, and they would, you know, report main stories. But you had this weekly called the Johnstown Observer, and they would report gossip of what was going on. And for so for several years before this, they were saying, Hey, these guys out of city cigar. They're just, you know, running the town and doing whatever they want and And why are the Why Aren't the police doing anything about it? Well, it was because they were they were being paid off. But now suddenly, those stories get shifted from the observer to the regular paper, and suddenly all this pressure is being brought to bear on the maid. There's a new mayor, and he's kind of we've got to clean up this town kind of mayor and that spelled the beginning of the end that murder suddenly within a couple of months. City Cigar shut down for good. They continued their operation for a long time, but It was on a much lower level. What? Look just a little bit more about Johnstown, Pennsylvania. You know, I'd live in Philadelphia and anybody who is in Pennsylvania. When you hear the term Johnstown. You typically think of an event in that city's history, which was a disaster. I mean, essentially on the scale of 9 11 back in 18 89 Just tell us that story. The Johnstown flood. Of course. Everybody in John's time grows up with the story of the flood directionally three floods. One in the big One was 18 89. And then there was one in 1936 and one in 1977, just really the day. That I went off to go to college. Um, the big one. David McCullough wrote the great book about so that very much colored my impression of it. And it was this massive story of really the haves and the have nots where they built this lake. This artificial lake on the top of the mountain on the town is in the Valley. And you had engineers warning that the structure wasn't going to hold and they ignored it. And one day the dam burst and it was for the lake was built for, you know. The wealthy people in the area to sail around on their boats and have their their cottages and so on, and the dam burst and 2000 people in town were Killed and it was, I guess, in a way you'd say the town never recovered. Although it was It was some decades later that steel mills came into full force, but but what it did, I think is it set up this Real kind of haves and have nots, the blue collar and the white collar distinction in town and that you know there was a strong union presence. And then there was the management of the steel companies and And it's set up that kind of dynamic. Yeah. You know, you started writing this book about your grandfather and his work. You learned a lot about your family that that you didn't know. Certainly a lot about your father. You didn't know. Did it change your perceptions of yourself at all? Yeah, sure. I'm now kind of a great believer in family history in general and people you know, doing research your family and But but do it if you if you have the stomach for it, because, generally speaking, you know certain stories about your family. Once you start researching them, you're going to find out that's probably they're probably not true. There's a there's a veneer of truth there. But the reality is something quite different. I actually then I I thought, Of course, it's for a college writer's workshop, and I made it about family history, and I saw that again and again with all the different students, they said, I'm going to write about my grand parents that it's this great story. And once they got into it, they would come to class and same I had it completely backwards. It wasn't like that at all. And it's It's really when you investigating your family history is part of growing up. Basically, it's it's moving yourself to another level of maturity. Which is why I think you know everyone ought to do it if if they dare. You said if you have the stomach what was hard for you to stomach the hard, Mostly the very personal stuff. The relationship between my grandparent's I was very close with my grandmother. My grandfather, You know, I barely knew him. I met him only a few times in my life. The pain he inflicted on her the pain he inflicted on my father and how that been colored my father's whole life which in turn colored my life, You know these things. Even though it's generations ago it it carries through, so it's it. It's It's kind of like if you're willing to do it. It's kind of like doing therapy, but it's It's a wonderful experience. It's but it's hard. I don't know if this is too personal, but you know, you learn that how your grandfather hurt. You're hurt your grandmother and hurt your dad..

His latest focuses on his grandfather, who was an organized crime boss in the industrial city of Johnstown, Pennsylvania. In the forties, fifties and sixties. The book is called small Time, a story of my family and the mob. So eventually your grandfather and his brother in law, put together this organization and expand gambling and have a big thing going in Johnstown by the end of the 19 forties. When you embarked upon the research You got your father to become a partner in this? I mean, there's this moment when you go toe, I guess the Cambria County Courthouse and get this file of the criminal filing your grandfather, grandfather, which is just huge. Um, Was it hard to get your father involved in this? The hard thing was me, not him. He had, he was turned out. He was willing. But I was reluctant initially, which is strange because he was my grandfather's eldest son, and I knew that he We have been affected by my grandfather's career more than anyone, but I just had this block because I knew You know, it's it's kind of a hard thing to get into it in a radio interview, which is why you write a book, but you know there was all this history between my father and me, and I guess I knew somehow that it was related to his relationship with his father. And because of that, it was hard for me to go there. But once I did, I said, Will you help me with this? He just said yeah, and then transformed the whole project because it was now the two of us. Undertaking toe trying to find this figure this murky figure who was my grandfather? Who? It was my namesake and my dad. You know, then took me around town. He would call up old guys so I'd never even heard of and say we're coming over and we'd sit down and you know here his whole story and his whole perspective on this, So it became this this This. You know this very some. I started out thinking I was writing history and it became something much more personal. Yeah. You talk to all these guys who were young then and are now old and you know, and nursing homes and the like. That was the story in your family about your father, who is a safaris You knew, you know, did not get involved in this organized crime in the story was that The rift between your father and his father. Your grandfather was because your dad didn't want to get into the rackets and that that was the source. Of the estrangement. You got into this and found out a different story, didn't you? Yeah. Somehow I had grown up with this story that My grandfather. The forbidding figure wanted his son to follow in his footsteps. And my father refused in as a child. I think I saw this. As you know, He's As valiant. You know, he's doing this for us. He's keeping his family protected. As I talked to more and more of the old guys, I would kind of repeated this and they looked at me like, what do you talking about? And you know, one of them said Are you kidding? Tony? My dad wanted nothing more than to get into it. So it turns out finally that I confronted my dad with us, and he admitted it And he said, And he admitted that in fact, he had desperately wanted to get into it. He would hang out at City Cigar, the center of the operation. And if his father caught him there, he would beat the crap out of him. And it's so you know, in this strange way. My grandfather. Who is this, you know, dark figure in my childhood. Ends up being kind of this hero who's trying to save his son from this life that he doesn't want him to have. And then what you learn about your dad when he's young is pretty remarkable, right? I mean, wearing suits when he's in the eighth grade because he wants to be a big shot. I mean, tell us a little bit more about What he did. My dad was the personality difference is striking. My grandfather was this quiet, shy, mumbly figure. And my dad, I think from from the get go. Was this bright, open, energetic guy and that energy. I think he just naturally. Put into Toward that business. He wanted to be part of it. He would go hang out there and he was trying to be a pool shark, and he was doing all that. But his father in his Inarticulate way knew somehow. This wasn't good for his son and didn't want him around. And so he would just, you know, beat him up on that set. You know what I kind of uncovered was This. Really, um sad, uh, inability to communicate between the two of them that that that that went through out there their lives, it colored their relationship. And it really had to do with that. I kind of think that if my grandfather had been able to say to him, look, I just want to protect you from this. That would have changed everything. But instead it is still this bitterness and my father toward his father. Um and my father then went on to become This small town entrepreneur, you know he had He had bars and he ran a disco at one point, and he was involved in real estate, and it was only late in the process of working on the book that I realized. He was trying to emulate his father. You know, he was trying to Get him to look at him and respect him on. He was doing it on their on the up and up and the in a legitimate way on his father had been doing the same thing involved in all these different businesses. But at this kind of murkier level So while your grandfather was running this gambling operation in Johnstown, and he was a big guy around town, hey, was also Had a lot of affairs. This is a complicated story, but I mean, there are two of them resulted in Illegitimate Children and given the mores of the day, you know there was no abortion was not readily available. These kids became integrated into the lives of these people in ways that was extremely painful for your grandmother. And just created just calamity. Was this stuff that you knew of growing up? Did you discover this as you did the research. Had some awareness, but I uncovered a lot as I did the research my great like, you know, my grandfather was kind of like I think he acted like a the hell. He was a medieval King or something. He did what he wanted, and he would decide. I mean, he had a, uh this woman had his child and she was actually the housekeeper who Cleaned his house and his partner's house, and he decided eventually you're not going to keep the baby, his partner and his wife. Were unable to have Children, so he decided the two men decided. They would do announced that this was their child whom they had adopted. And that's who raised the child. Hey, had another child with another woman. And this you know when I talk about having me having this Sense of darkness, which can came from my awareness of how the the older people in the family reacted to my grandfather. It's not so much about the mob per se. It's more about the fall out from his personality and his behavior. This kind of thing really kind of colored. And and I think to this day really, in a sense colors. Ah, lot of people in the family. We need to take a break here. Let me reintroduce you. We are speaking with Russell Short out. His new memoir is called small Time. A story of my family and the mob will continue our conversation in just a moment. This is fresh air..

Those who make over $400,000 a year as well as increasing the tax rate for corporations. No tax policy was a big win, of course for outgoing President Donald Trump in the earlier days of his administration, how much of what was accomplished there a few years ago might be rolled back or eroded away. President Trump was able to lower the corporate tax rate from Around 34% to 21%. President elect Biden is hoping to increase that not to be original level that it was that but to 28% s. Oh, that would be one thing that he would seek to undo a zoo well as undoing what the tax cuts and Jobs act the President Trump's tax cuts package hey, would seek to undo its lowering of the highest tax rate, but that America's wealthiest Americans pay. You would like to increase that Again back to kind of what it was under the Obama era there Realistically, how much of his agenda on taxes? Might we expect biting to be able to push through the new Congress? So that's a great question. You know, he does now have Democrats now have control of the Senate, which is a really big deal for President elect Biden's priorities and four any hope that progressive Domestic agenda really has over the next four years. The people that I've spoken with have said that it's pretty unlikely that he will be able to get even Congress even moderate Democrats to agree, however, too Raised taxes on corporations, especially in the midst of kind of all of the economic calamity that we're seeing right now. So they said, you know, maybe you could get that 21% up to 22 23 24. But even getting it up to that 28% debuted, it's pretty unlikely. What will what is fairly likely to happen is tax cuts and tax credits for the middle classes and really low low wage earners in the United States. So these are things especially targeting families with Children, People with Children, child tax credit, childcare, tax credit things like that. Better popular with both with Democrats and then also, even some Republicans have put forward bipartisan proposals seeking to extend on and make more generous child tax credits. So that is something that President elect Biden would probably find it pretty easy to find allies for in Congress.
