...last week Labor was not only reconciled to but jubilant over Miss Perkins. She had clearly showed her stripe when she stood up for mill workers at the steel code hearing before NRA (TIME, Aug. 7). That hearing was to have been the first important test of the union v. non-union issue. Madam Secretary Perkins had gone in person to the steel mills of Pittsburgh and Baltimore to talk with employes.

...recovery efforts, loud as it was in declaring so, inevitably had other interests at heart. Hardly a businessman in the whole U. S. but has taken forehanded measures tending to nullify the recovery program temporarily: has bought supplies or manufactured goods for future use before the new codes and higher prices go into effect.
