...collateral codes, the Drug Code and the Food Code. For into them was to go the Retail Code's key clause-or the principle it laid down -on price-cutting. The question of hours & wages was no issue; that had been settled by the President's blanket code. Labor was no problem. The nation's salespeople are wholly unorganized. The essence of the proposed magic was to end forever the blight of cutthroat competition which always reacts balefully upon merchant, manufacturer, laborer and ultimately consumer. In Article VIII Section I of the Retail Code resided its prime...
...statements referred to appear in your issue of Sept. 11 under Crime and subtitled "A.B.A. and Federalization." I cannot agree with your blanket charges against lawyers practicing criminal law. To be frank, they are very inaccurate and unfair. The editor will find after due investigation that the overwhelming majority of lawyers who practice criminal law are high-classed and ethical lawyers. I am sure he will also find such eminent lawyers as Hon. Martin W. Littleton and Frank Hogan on the membership rolls of the American Bar Association. I am also taking the liberty to point out that Hon. Charles...
...strike involved recognition of United Mine Workers by the "captive" soft coal mines of Pennsylvania. These mines are owned and their entire output is used by the great non-union iron and steel companies. Last fortnight U. M.

"in an attempt to cooperate in re-employment." When Alcoa signed NRA's blanket code, wages were boosted to 30? an hour. "We accepted 30? an hour for what we hoped would be a very brief period in order to get the Blue Eagle," explained Mr. Neilson. Asked about Alcoa-owned Bauxite, Ark., Mr. Neilson described it as a "model mining town" with "excellent...
...more than 20 or 30 at most would make use of each House dining hall. To do so is considerably more expensive, since a House lunch costs $.50, and that provided at Phillips Brooks House $.18. But even if the number to respond were small, the extension of a blanket eating privilege to non-residents would seem unwise. The establishment of regular, narrow, eating cliques in the Houses is to be avoided, as contrary to the purposes of the plan. Were the nonresidents suddenly given eating privileges, the result might be the introduction of an unassimilated clique into the dining...
