...frowned upon by the Trade Disputes Act. With the odds thus heavily against it the strike last week collapsed. Back to work went the 4,000, each, a week's pay out of pocket. Still on the job was Gwilliams, who through it all had kept his head screwed on, his pence in his pocket and his tongue in his head. His reply to the inquisitive: "I am an oyster...
Although the automobile industry during 1935-36-37 received credit for "pulling the nation out of the depression," it has been far from the head of the parade in the rise from Depression II's rut. Last week, however, the No. 1 U. S. industry appeared ready to resume its leadership.

Even now, a plurality of about 100,000 votes from Hudson County will probably be required. Knowing this, Mr. Barbour last week pressed the New Jersey Legislature to carry out an investigation of electoral funny-business in Hudson County which involved-Republicans charge...
Last year White House newshounds took Franklin Roosevelt to task for granting New York Timesman Arthur Krock an exclusive interview. Meekly the President put his "head on the block," promised it wouldn't happen again. Last week the Times's Anne O'Hare McCormick again broke into the White House manger, carried off another exclusive interview running to three and a half Sunday Magazine pages.
