Crane operators of both types man-oeuvered their hooks with equal calm and skill, feeling that as long as they were working for different concerns on different jobs they could restrain any evil feelings that might otherwise have arisen. The break came when some of Zimble's non-union men did a job for Shaughnessy. At once there was friction in the air. Labor unions representing all the workers employed at the plant investigated the state of affairs, and incidentally ordered a strike. For the past week no work has gone on in consequence, and with the continuance...

So pretty Lottie Truggin, already confirmed, had episcopal hands laid on her again. Thus began Parson Dottery's troubles.

Then are exhibited the careers of Adam and Eve, of Cain and of Noah, who is commanded to live aboard an Ark while a world given over to dicing, short skirts, and all manner of Evil is submerged beneath the floods. Years later the Lord God selects Moses to lead his people out of the land of Pharaoh. Pharaoh's palace is depicted as a glorified Negro lodge room with its various magniticoes attired in such lustrous raiment as Confederate uniforms and Scotch kilts...
