...Little Steel strike its plants in Illinois, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, Maryland and elsewhere had lost $2,500,000 because C. I. O. pickets ("armed mobs") had menaced employes, caused suspension of mails, obstructed railroads and highways from its plants, restrained interstate and foreign trade. Under the Clayton Act, triple indemnity plus costs is payable. It was no coincidence that Republic's suit followed by one week C. I. O.'s plea to the Labor Board for $7,500,000 in back pay for time lost by employes after their reinstatement had been ordered, but a fast play...
...sitdown, which the U. S. Supreme Court has declared illegal. If suits like Tom Girdler's can extend the anti-trust laws to cover other strikes (which are legal in principle) Labor will have suffered a blow, all but undoing such pro-Labor legislation as the Wagner Act.

Labor and many normal Government supporters seconded Winston Churchill's attack on this "act of repudiation." Alarmed, the Government sent a "three-line whip" to Conservatives, ordering them to support the Palestine plan as a confidence measure, and managed to squeeze a 268-to-179 victory (normal Government majority...
Businessmen now generally accept-with reservations-the Securities Act as a wholesome reform. But in 1933 many fought it bitterly, arguing that no one could take the risk of issuing securities because Section 11 of the Act provides that any purchaser of securities can recover damages from the issuers for subsequent losses if misrepresentations or omissions were made in the official registration statement. In six years of the Act's operations this bugaboo failed to materialize. Last week the dreaded event took place for the first time...
