Though Monroe, Mich., where C.I.O. was beaten fortnight ago when Republic Steel's local plant was reopened after a brisk picket line skirmish, is not in Congressman Hoffman's district, a brief visit there was enough...

Cameraman Lippert was the only newsreel man on hand, his rivals, despairing of action from a holiday crowd sprinkled with women & children, having packed off to the automobile races in Indianapolis.

Through this broad channel they ride easily so that messages are clearly heard by any patrol car, provided it is within a half mile of the line. The great power...
