...struck plant remaining closed last week and with no agreements signed, it was apparent that John L. Lewis had about lost his strike in "Little Steel." "The C.I.O. failed to meet its first major test successfully," gloated A. F. of L.'s William Green, calling for an intensified campaign to stave off restrictive labor legislation. "We cannot permit all organized labor to be penalized because of the stupid mistakes of C.I.O." Sneered the leonine C.I.O. boss: "Droolings from the pallid lips of a traitor...
Bogey Man. In no small measure Harry Bridges can thank his enemies, particularly William Randolph Hearst, for his rise to national fame.

In Colorado, an anti-grasshopper council was organized by the State agriculture extension director. In Arizona, a State...
Opening gun of the late Mr. Bok's campaign was fired in March 1906, in an editorial headed "Frankness With Children." Said he: "The tenderest parent sometimes grows tired of the eager eyes and hungry brain of his child. The poor little traveler is bewildered by the strange world in which he suddenly finds himself. . . . For absolute filth, go and listen to the talks of the boys and girls during recess in our schools. Some of these little ones belong to refined Christian families. Their parents would shrink in horror at the thought of unveiling the sacred mysteries...
