...vehement declaration last year, "Oh, no! Wages in the steel industry are not coming down," remains uncontradicted, though the "stagger system," whereby more men work fewer hours, has been generally adopted. In wages, as in price cuts, bulky earnest Mr. Farrell has so far been able to marshal his colleagues. The near future may see another test of his leadership...
...Herald & Examiner and 29 other Hearstpapers for $1,000,000. The first suit, for $5,000,000, was brought last October in Washington against Hearst personally for statements in the New York Journal, Washington Herald, Washington Times and Los Angeles Examiner.

Both took Russian gold then, but Marshal Chiang, having conquered half of China (1927), broke with Moscow whereas Chen did not. During Chiang's war of conquest Chen was his No. 1 Chinese propagandist, won thousands of recruits and many a battle for Chiang with his "insolent, bizarre and colorful phraseology." Today Mr. Chen, who is back in Canton repeating .the revolution of 1926, insolently pictures President Chiang...
