Passed by the Michigan Legislature last June was a broad new labor statute, inaccurately referred to as a "Little Wagner Act." Among the provisions of the law was a ban on: 1) mass picketing which obstructed "or otherwise interfered" with entrance to a striking plant; 2) picketing which obstructed public highways or 3) picketing by people not directly involved in the strike. This was not precisely what Labor-loving Governor Murphy wanted but he pronounced the measure a long step toward industrial peace...
...month he appeared before the convention of the American Medical Association to predict that doctors were in danger of becoming nationalized as officers of the Federal Government in recompense for which the Government might pay the medical bills of citizens who could not afford to do so themselves (TIME, June 21). Last week, Senator Lewis took a step toward making the nationalization of doctors a reality by introducing a bill in the Senate to make all U. S. physicians and surgeons civil officers of the Government. The bill's provisions: "Any such physician or surgeon shall render such medical...
...lost Chicago musicians $125,000 worth of record and radio dates, but it made Petrillo a Labor hero (TIME, Jan. 4). That he would urge national adoption of the record ban was a foregone conclusion at the recent A. F. of M. convention in Louisville (TIME, June 21). Possibly because he felt the time was ripe, possibly because he sensed his own militancy was under question, Joseph N.

Last week President Weber called representatives...
...Fred A. Holtz of the National Association of Band Instrument Manufacturers calculated that more than 2,000,000 children now play in school bands. Accordion makers reported a record turnover of 120,000 instruments in the last twelvemonth. But pianomen, reporting that the sales of 49,595 pianos through June were 33% higher than for the corresponding period last year, were most optimistic. They expected to sell 80,000 more by the end of the year, a gain of 500% over rock bottom 1932. Some pianomen thought this increase was traceable to more attractive "streamlined" cabinets, others to the general...
...last week went the corporation's report for the first six months of 1937. It covered the most exciting six months in GM history. During the March quarter the No. U. S. motormaker was tied up in knots by the youthful United Automobile Workers of America. During the June quarter GM was harassed by almost daily wildcat strikes unauthorized by the union. Both GM and the union are freshmen in the art of collective bargaining, and for both the second quarter proved an expensive education-for GM in profits, for the union in prestige...
