Though Oldster Hull is proud of having negotiated these tariff treaties, few New Dealers envied him his Minneapolis job, because the reciprocal trade agreements are admittedly unpopular along the Canadian border. NRA, AAA, WPA, PWA, the Wagner Labor Relations Act, the Guffey Coal Act, the Social Security Act have given or promised cash or privileges to some particular group of voters. But trade reciprocity depends on the abolition of privileges, and few of its beneficiaries are aware of their benefits. Steel workers never know what portion of their pay comes from steel that goes into automobiles and machinery sold overseas...
...immediate intention of selling stock. But as a general financing medium for the future the new preferred would further the rich coal carrier's ambition to increase the proportion of stock to bonds in its capitalization.

Like two other famed U. S. milers, Bonthron and Cunningham, San Romani's running career was stimulated by a serious leg injury in his childhood. When he was six, a truck crushed his leg.

...hilly, grimy stronghold of John L. Lewis' United Mine Workers and of their aggressive labor unionism are the rich bituminous coal fields of Alabama's Walker County. Last month Walker County's miners came home to hear shocking news from their children's mouths. Three of the county's schoolteachers, who had been organizing their 375 colleagues into a Teachers' Association and were trying to pet an A. F. of L. charter, had been fired for "incompetence, outside activity." To this familiar gesture, the miners made a familiar answer. Last week Walker County...
Recovery has lately carried the magic figure to that level and more. Approaching the seasonal autumn peak, carloadings last week topped 800,000 for the first time in six years. The gain over the corresponding week of 1935 was 28%, but the comparison was distorted somewhat by the coal strike a year ago. So far this year carloadings have averaged 13.3% above the 1935 figure, though weekly gains last summer when general business was unseasonably good ran well above...
