...Justice in 1930. President Roosevelt called him to be chairman of the National Labor Relations Board in 1934, later a member of the short-lived Federal Mediation Board for the steel strike. His decision in the Houde case (TIME, Sept. 10, 1934), ruling that representatives of the majority could bargain for all employes, has since become the Wagner Act's chief Labor weapon. Wisconsin's new law, suggested by Dean Garrison, may well become equally significant in the philosophy of individual indebtedness...
...When Max Schmeling last year surprisingly knocked out Joe Louis for the first time in his career, his just reward was obviously a fight with Champion Braddock. When after contracting for the fight, Champion Braddock withdrew to fight Challenger Louis, Challenger Schmeling lived up to his end of the bargain (TIME. June 14), sailed home last month claiming to have won the title by default. His claim strengthened when the man whom he had defeated defeated the champion, Schmeling was last week training for a "world's championship" fight in London in September, against England's current heavyweight...
Under the Wagner Labor Act employers have to bargain collectively, but do they have to sign written contracts? The three steel companies asserted their willingness to bargain collectively, but refused to sign anything because, they said, a contract would be followed by demands for the closed shop and the check-off of union dues. To the unions this was just a quibble. Pickets in Cleveland last week carried placards chiding the companies for refusing to buy ink. Settlement of this unsettled question may affect many a future labor crisis...
...From now on, minimum day's pay for extras will be $5.50 instead of $3.20. Cinema cowboys will henceforth get $11 instead of $5 a day. With wages for other low-bracket actors up proportionately, the Guild's new scale affects all companies, makes most difference to bargain-hunting independents, who make 240 of Hollywood's 700 feature pictures a year. Costs will increase from $2,000 to $5,000 a picture...
With what sportswriters regarded as an extraordinary disregard for professional conventions, Pugilist Schmeling announced that he would live up to his end of his bargain. Backed by Madison Square Garden Corp., which publicized the fight, and printed tickets for it, he went into training for a month at Speculator, N. Y., announced that he was confident of winning by a knockout. Only detail in all this preparation that admitted that neither Schmeling nor the Garden actually expected the fight to take place was that on the tickets, of which 43 were sold as curios, Schmeling's name was misspelled...
