...picture of General Semenov in TIME for Aug. 23 recalled vividly an encounter with the General in March 1918. A refugee train was on its way from Petrograd to Harbin carrying a polyglot group of diplomatic officials, business men and bankers. On board were the staff of the American embassy in Russia, headed by First Secretary Bailey; the staff of the Japanese embassy, headed by Viscount Uchida; the staff of the Chinese and Brazilian ministries; and the Crown Prince of Turkestan. American civilians included part of the staffs of the Petrograd and Moscow branches of the National City Bank...

But the body that administers this new labor policy-the National Labor Relations Board-soon found that there could be three major parties to a dispute- employer, A. F. of L. and C. I.

Last week the Board took by no means its first but certainly its most spectacular dive into the muddied waters of dual unionism. The case involved National Electric Products Corp. Bidding for National Electric's 1,600 workers in Ambridge, Pa., near Pittsburgh, vere the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (A. F. of L.) and the United Electrical & Radio Workers (C.

Before the Labor Board could pass on the case, the A. F. of L. took its iron-clad contract to a Federal district court, which ordered National Electric to live up to its terms-an order the company gladly obeyed. Last week, just as National Electric was posting this order throughout its plant, the Labor Board cracked down with a thunderous ruling that the A. F. of L. contract was "void and of no effect." Its "precipitate granting," held the Board, smacked of trickery, since the company knew that the A. F. of L. union "did not represent the free...
According to the complaint presented by Lawyer Morton, Herbert Fleishhacker in 1919 agreed to let the Anglo Bank lend M. Barde & Sons, Inc. of Seattle and Portland funds to buy steel from the U. S. Shipping Board, in return for which favor he was personally to get half the profits from the sale of the steel. Brothers J. N. and Leonard B. Barde presently received $325,000 from the Anglo Bank, another $175,000 from the Central National Bank of Oakland. The Bardes were successful in their bid for the steel, formed Barde Steel Products Corp. and before long repaid...
