Revolving Door. For Philip Murray, the Irish labor boss with a Scottish burr, a gentle manner and a stubborn will, last week's settlement was the biggest victory in the procession of victories he has won since organizing Big Steel for the C.I.O. in mid-Depression. Then (1936) he found steel with an average wage of 66? an hour.

Over the objections of other administration aides, Steelman was reportedly ready to grant a $5.20-a-ton price increase. This was $1.50 more than the steel companies were...
...seaside hotel and then to an 18-room town house, where they screen off one corner of a vast, jumbled gallery. But by then the outside world-in the persons of their friends Agatha and Gerard, who have fallen in love with them-has pried open the door to their secret chamber. The two children who refuse to grow up are unable to survive the sudden, chilling glare of reality...
