The organization created the Steel Valley Authority, which sought to publicly own closed mills through the use of eminent domain, as a means of keeping mills open and thousands of steelworkers on the job. Members were also involved in several regional projects concerning unemployment and plant closures. Tri-State also played an integral role in the grassroots movement to save Dorothy Six, a blast furnace at the US Steel Duquesne Works. The group supported bringing a MAGLEV train to Pittsburgh as a means of solving transportation and employment problems in the area., Finding aid Available in repository and on Internet; Folder level control; http://digital.library.pitt.edu/cgi-bin/f/findaid/findaid-idx?type=simple;c=ascead;view=text;subview=outline;didno=US-PPiU-ais199310
