I must have come across this when it was reprinted as part of the third of
what became the Cities in Flight series -- _Earthman, Come Home_ (1955).
"Bindlestiff" was used to refer to a particular kind of flying city, as I
remember it.  The whole series drew on a range of background reference to
American workers' movements.
