Fierce was Labor's unsuccessful fight to put the principle of "prevailing wages" into the Work Relief Bill. Mortal is Labor's fear that if it takes less than union pay from the Government, private employers will use that precedent to smash its whole wage system.

Fears were expressed that the "sinister Oriental," Harry Jung, had killed his white wife to make his getaway. This billing got a sorry jolt when prim-looking, thin-lipped, bespectacled Mrs. Smith was caught in a Manhattan rooming house. Mrs. Dunkel made more headlines by expressing a fear that her friend...
