...employment service found jobs for 1,412,645 applicants. The Bureau of Conciliation intervened in 478 industrial disputes. It worked to tranquillize strikes and lockouts affecting 350,000 workers (but claimed no great success in the bitter, long-drawn coal strike of last winter, which it proved powerless to end). Immigration is in Labor's province and Secretary Davis dwelt at some length on how the restrictive immigration law of 1924 had worked. Two things worried him, or two phases of the same thing.

Half the nervous thrill of baseball comes when "the weak end of the order" comes to bat in a rally two runners on base, two out, the score in a ticklish position, and the pitcher up.
