...arranged by which the front office clerks, about 75, were recognized, though on other points the strikers lost ground. Even after the settlement the strikers refused to return to work until the hotels signed contracts with twelve nonstriking unions such as barbers, electricians, musicians, et al. When this was done the hotels reopened...
...done a thousand times before during the National Labor Relations Board hearings on the Ford Motor Co. case in Detroit (TIME, July 26), Louis J. Colombo Sr., the swart, able Ford counsel, shouted one day last week: "I object." Lawyer Colombo objected to the way the Labor Board counsel was riding a Ford foreman who testified that he fired a man, not for union activity as charged, but for "gazing off into space."

Identification of Hamilton was effected because his teeth, most durable part of the human body, were still in his head and because...
...massacres, torture, rape, underground terrorist activity. During the last big French attack, Lena discharged De Queslain as cured, left him to make his way with the retreating Bulgarians. When they next met, Lena had joined a gang of Albanian pillagers about to attack the village, explaining that she had done so in order to catch Serbian spies. Her main concern at the moment, however, was to manage his escape. But De Queslain, who still thought she was trying to put something over on him, argued so long that the Albanians had already arrived and begun their slaughter and rape before...
