...relief to those out of work. Disregarding Utopian ideas of perpetual government support of the unemployed, it is safe to say that private corporations must take up the large number of men now idle. The government can't do it all forever. Under the capitalistic system companies refuse to hire men unless they see the possibility of making a profit. Yet to date, the administration has deprecated the profit motive as a guide to business activity. It has attempted to limit profits, to set up competing industries, and to foster projects entailing the limitation of production. Even more important than...
...though a competent workman, understands that existence is primarily a droll affair, with the horselaugh predominant not only to the grave, but after the will is read. For purposes of keeping up morale and teaching the cardinal truths of life, any large paper could afford to hire, at princely salary, such a man as Gene Fowler . . . or Joel Sayre, a wandering behemoth who went to Hollywood. ...

They also ask for shorter hours, higher wages, and recognition of unions of the workers' choice...
...employ, a private nurse at least one day each year, the 350,000 graduate nurses (R. N.s) would have steady year-round work. But there is by no means enough private nursing to go around. Last week the graduate nurses of the land set out to compel hospitals to hire them in place of student nurses. With no use for student nurses, hospitals would then have to discontinue their nursing schools. That, in turn, would compel the creation of independent, preferably university, nursing schools to supply trained nurses for both hospital and private practice...
