...sole but vital aim of last summer's bloody strike had been to win signed bargaining agreements from Republic, Bethlehem, Youngstown Sheet & Tube and Inland Steel. When strike tactics failed, S. W. O. C. began filing charges with the labor board. Certain that it had a majority of the workers in two Inland Steel plants, S. W. O. C. decided to lodge against this company its most far-reaching complaint: that by refusing to reduce an oral agreement to writing, the company had refused to bargain collectively in violation of the National Labor Relations Act.

Between are said to lie rich deposits of chrome, copper, gold, iron, coal, limestone and platinum beneath an evergreen blanket of several billion feet of virgin timber. To exploit this domain has been a local dream for 50 years but only...

Next day an examiner of the Interstate Commerce Commission heard the application of Gilbert Gable's Gold Coast Railroad for a permit to build a 90-mile spur across the mountains into Port Orford from Leland on the Southern Pacific line 50 miles inland. Soon the Gold Coast R. R., life line of Gilbert Gable's empire since it would be the means of getting ore and timber to the sea or back East by rail, was granted an ICC certificate of convenience and necessity...
