Sole Jurisdiction. In 1952 Paul S. Russell, a nonunion electrician from Decatur, Ala., filed suit against the United Auto Workers for $50,000 damages. He charged that U.A.W. picket lines prevented him from driving to work at Decatur's Wolverine Tube Division of Calumet and Hecla Consolidated Copper Co. plant, sued for five weeks' wages and punitive damages. The Alabama Supreme Court, reversing the lower court, ordered a trial. A jury awarded Russell...
...will most likely come from Mutual Security Agency coffers. Even the use to which the money will be put is not certain, but basically the loan's function will be to provide a dollar prop for Chile's sagging peso, hard hit by a world slump in copper prices. Last week the peso was so shaky (off from 493 to the dollar to 780 at the free-trade rate since April, 1956) that Chileans were forced to stop all imports from the U.S. by ordering importers, before taking delivery, to deposit 10,000% of the import item...

Chile's copper exports will be off some $225 million this year, pushing the country into an overall $95 million trade deficit. Bolivia, which gets about 80% of its export money from tungsten, lead, tin and zinc, whose prices are off as much as 30%, is in the same economic fix. So are such metal-producing African exporters as Rhodesia and the Belgian Congo, whose exports of nonferrous metals were hit by a 9% price decline in the first quarter of 1958 alone...
