O. oil drive starting this week, announced that they would oppose Sit-Downs with all the force at their command. With many a State legislature discussing the subject, Vermont's became the first to pass a law specifically outlawing the Sit-Down-which it defined as occupation of property by three or more persons without the owner's consent...

...more than a year the Times high command has suspected the Hearst Examiner of reprinting its pictures without credit as though taken by Examiner men. Though the Examiner had no Associated Press Wirephoto Service, more than once it ran what looked like exact duplicates of Times Wirephotos of deaths & disasters.
