...overcome the Chrysler sitters. Harmless were the big manifolds which, mocking the National Guard one-pounders wheeled out for the G. M. strike, they set up to look like cannon (see cut). Far from innocuous were the clubs and blackjacks with which they had armed themselves, the great iron bins lined three deep inside plant gates, filled with such missiles as bolts, pipe joints, grenade-sized automobile parts. "Troops might get through here," a striker confided to Scripps-Howard's Raymond Clapper, "but you ought to see what we've got inside. We have much more material than...
These military preparations, so newshawks in China assume, are for a new Japanese attack upon Suiyan which must be conquered before Japanese militarists can begin to draw their projected iron ring around Russia's Outer Mongolia. Tokyo's bland explanation of Mongokuo's piled-up tanks and planes was lately voiced by a member of Japan's Foreign Office: "The Mongols are striving to preserve themselves from Communists against whom they are preparing for a war of self-defense."

...less than 87% during 1936, and by the end of February were down to 24,000 tons, barely a two-week's supply at the present rate of consumption (more than 50,000 tons per month). Nearly one-half of all U. S. zinc is used to galvanize iron and steel and another one-fourth goes into brass, which is a copper-zinc alloy. Storage batteries account for nearly one-third of all lead, with paint a poor second. In good times building takes 10%, cable coverings 20% of U. S. lead.- And all these big lead and zinc...
