...most newspaper readers, war and the election have canceled all interest in the A. F. of L. -C. I. O. feud. That is not the case among the men of labor. Last week they read the sharpest, most detailed and unsparing record of that costly battle that has yet seen print-Labor's Civil War, by Herbert Harris (Knopf; $2.50). Two years ago young (34) Historian Harris established his right to be heard on these matters when he published a factual, informative, detached book, American Labor, that summed up labor's story. There is nothing detached about Labor...

But because of the feud, unions face assaults on their social and economic rights, emasculation of the Wagner Act, "political castration," loss of the ability to strike.

By this time his campaign for Philippine independence had won support in parts of the U. S. A powerful sugar lobby and many a U. S. producer wanted competitive Philippine...
Since the end of May, when Franklin Roosevelt invited competent businessmen to help him arm the U. S. against war, many a bloodstained hatchet in the New Deal's feud with business has been quietly buried. Most unobtrusive burial: utility men (once the President's most truculent foes) have begun to work alongside public-powerites (some of the toughest hatchetmen in the New Deal) for the mutual good of preparedness. To the Defense Advisory Commission have come two key ambassadors of the power industry: Charles Wetmore Kellogg, president of Edison Electric Institute, and Gano Dunn, president of construction...
