There has been much talk among the large employers, such as Mr. Knudnon, of an unwillingness to force their men into the American Federation of Labor, or to treat with the Federation in collective bargaining. The inference is that company anxious would come to more reasonable terms with the employers, and that they would more justly represent the particular interests of the bargaining group. But it is difficult to see this as anything more than a disingenuous stall for the time necessary to integrate the company unions with the administration.

Food & Drugs. Rex Tugwell, bright young braintruster, has been anxious to get a bill passed to censor the labeling and advertising of foods, drugs and cosmetics.

No one ever lived, who was so good, so kind, so gentle, and so sorry for all people who did wrong, or were in any way ill or miserable, as He was. And as He is now in Heaven, where we hope to go, and all to meet each other after we are dead, and there be happy always together, you never can think what a good place Heaven is, without knowing who He was and what...
