Although the Seattle election was a blow to the long-term political aspirations of labor as a whole, the C. I. O. was comforted by Beck's defeat and by the fact that it was left with a Mayor who would at least be neutral instead of its sworn enemy in labor's internecine war. Mayor-Elect Langlie specifically promised this neutrality but warned: "It's up to labor to clean its own house. However, labor will not be permitted to step on the toes of innocent persons in its various activities...
Langlie supporters now hope that the new Mayor will get together with Washington's Governor Clarence D. Martin to undertake a drive against labor terrorism similar to the campaign now being carried on by Oregon's Governor Charles H. Martin and Portland's Mayor Joseph K. Carson Jr. Last week, the indictment of eleven unionists in Portland brought the State total of those charged with "goonery" to more than 50.

In the children's war, the most telling blow is to snip off all a captive's buttons, send him home holding up his pants. One strategist discovers that the way to fix that...
...hundred years ago next month a group of top-hatted Manhattanites, led by their mayor, put out from a shaky pier in the North River to cheer the arrival of the British steamer Sirius, which, with 40 passengers, had made the voyage from Ireland in 18 days. Though the U. S. ship Savannah and Canada's Royal William, both with auxiliary steam equipment, had sailed the ocean years earlier, the little 178-foot, 700-ton, paddle wheeler Sirius was greeted by the mayor as the first vessel to cross the whole Atlantic under steam power.
