...Marion. When the warning siren blew on the Marion Manufacturing Co.'s mill in Marion, N. C., one morning last week, Sheriff Oscar F. Adkins began to make a speech at the mill gates. He and several deputies had been up all night, warned by the mill officials of impending trouble. Across the street in front of the postoffice was a crowd of night shift workers bent on persuading the day shift not to go to work. The picketers were union people, men, women and children, members of United Textile Workers (subsidiary of the A. F. of L.). They...
...Carolina. Against the seven remaining defendants-four of them Northern Communists-the charge of first-degree murder was dropped and with it the shadow of the electric chair which juries shun.

...wretched suicide of Anna Karenina, the great stories of the race have been compounded of suffering. Anguish is constant in Ultima Thule, which is already being called great. Though modern critics are hasty with their wreaths, this story of impoverished Dr. Richard Mahony, 49, who began anew in Australia, is indubitably a deep-dug, searing novel. Huddling his wife and three lateborn children within bleak walls, the Doctor felt too poor to entertain. He thus lost contacts, clientele. Then he removed to another town, where one of his daughters died, his own abilities ebbed. He set a bone awkwardly...
