...General Motors' plants. General Motors responded that 110,000 of its 135,000 motors production employes had signed petitions or otherwise protested against being thrown out of work by the strike of the upstart union. This, said the union, was due to company coercion. Impartial observers did not credit the union's claim that it had the support of a majority, and the union made no attempt to prove it in the one way possible: by appealing to the National Labor Relations Board which would order an election. Making peace as well as making war was part...
...earnest. He got into judging about 20 years ago, rose quickly on his reputation for absolute knowledge and complete fairness. Judge Keifer's lofts now contain about 700 birds. His position usually makes it impossible for him to exhibit them but pigeon fanciers give him most of the credit for restoring the white Frill-back, until recently a decadent breed, to its old prestige. He now judges some 30 shows a season, handles 50,000 birds, travels 30,000 miles a year. His fees for judging roughly cover his traveling expenses and the L. & N. is generous about leaves...

That "boom" in good measure was pure inflation brought on by War financing, and the subsequent collapse was highlighted by a terrific crash in commodity prices, just as the last depression...
...nine Harvard men relies on the schools regularly; two out of three when they wish to cram for examinations. The schools openly boast that they teach certain subjects better than the college. Among their patrous schools join a large number of honors men, and they take credit for raising the college's percentage of honors students from 28.5 per cent in 1930-31 to 41.3 per cent last year...
