...interesting to note in this same article that "the Government dared not hire men to care for its 50,000 head for fear of being accused of strike-breaking." This fear on the part of the Government, which caused it to allow this immense herd to suffer after being corralled by its officials, may explain in part why our Government is being defied and its Federal arbitrators made monkeys of by A.

Gritting his teeth, John goes through with it, finding an agency where he can hire a professional corespondent, taking her to a Brighton hotel for a weekend. Everything goes according to legal schedule. But unfortunately for John and Mary, their case comes up before the president of the Probate, Divorce & Admiralty Division ("Wills, Wives and Wrecks") who has a keen nose for collusion. He dismisses...
Tame compared to Chairman Kennedy's threats was the Commission's first official ruling: none of the 200-odd clerks, office boys, stenographers and other employes it is about to hire may buy securities on margin or otherwise speculate on the market. They may buy securities outright but must notify the Commission of any such purchases within 48 hours...
