...payment of this rate in 1910 had consumed about 22% of the gross passenger earnings. The new agreement, which we then made, provided that out of every dollar taken in, these men should receive 22 cents, so that as the owners secured advantage by the increased business obtained through joint effort of men and management, the men would themselves secure an increased wage commensurate with their increased effort...
...there is but one party- Democratic; and the State Democratic Committee controls the entire procedure, pays all bills, arranges speaking programs, allots expenses on a pro-rata basis.

It still remains the sole contact with civilization which many a far north community has. Last week it acquired the trading rights of Moravian missionaries among the grim fishermen of Labrador, bleak 400-mile fringe of northeast North America. Recent explorations indicate that the Labrador hinterland holds high hydro-electric power stores...
