...with the striking hosiery workers in Reading, Philadelphia and Lansdale, the issue in Fayette County was Unionization under the National Recovery Act. Focus of trouble was the non-union H. C. Frick Coke Co., subsidiary of the non-union U. S. Steel Corp.

Due to injury, extreme heat, or any one of a number of causes, this lens may become translucent and eventually opaque. Since all rays of light must pass through the crystalline lens to be received upon the retina, it is easy to see how a loss of transparency results in serious impairment to the vision. Science knows of no way to remove a lenticular...
