...reads the heart of the Sherman Anti-Trust Act which was passed by Congress in 1890 to bust trusts. After 49 years U. S. employers are finding that it may perhaps be used to bust unions. Following the lead of Philadelphia's Apex Hosiery Co., last week Tom Girdler's Republic Steel Corp. sued John Lewis, C. I. O. and its steel unions and nearly 700 individual strikers for $7,500,000 under the Sherman Act and the related Clayton...
...when you want, nip in your waist two or three inches. . . .

When he gave nationwide publicity to a King Ranch mystery, the famed Blanton case (TIME, Dec. 7, 1936), South Texas thought Magee would "bust the Valley wide open." But soon he turned to more prosaic crusades in which his backer was interested: stabilization of the $125,000,000 citrus industry, improvement of the water supply. He became a worker for the Methodist Church...
