While the unions harped on the issues of workingmen's pay and pride, the party was attempting to defend the pound and rescue a faltering economy, among other ways by keeping wages in line. As a result, Labor has begun to regard labor as an occasionally dangerous liability. The feeling is mutual...
...moment Wilson took office, there was no head-on clash until this spring, when Wilson vowed to end a damaging rash of wildcat strikes by imposing stiff fines on offending workers and unions.

Jerome Lejeune held fast to his controversial contention that this chromosomal aberration is closely associated with criminality.
