...contestants would not define the issue in such simple terms. The steelmasters set their jaws in grim determination against closed shop. Mike Tighe demanded "recognition" for his union and vehemently denied that he was asking for closed shop. In this difference there was room for compromise-except for one material circumstance: Mr. Tighe's subchiefs were on a rampage. While the steelmasters met in Manhattan and Mr. Tighe spent much of the week in Cleveland, a Rank & File Committee, composed of the heads of local Amalgamated lodges, were in Washington making life hot for General Johnson...
...Dionne quintuplets are not going to the Century of Progress Exposition. But last week Fair visitors in Chicago were able to gaze upon "the largest Italian family in the whole U. S."-21 strong.

Fortnight ago Leader Tighe served an ultimatum on the steel...
...Mike Tighe waited until the Steel Code came up for renewal last week to carry his strike shillelagh to Washington. Then, if ever, seemed the strategic time to rivet the closed shop upon the industry. Into no code so far has gone a closed shop provision and President Roosevelt did not propose to begin with Steel. In renewing the code, however, the President made a solemn promise: "I will undertake promptly to provide, as the occasion may demand, for the election by employes in each industrial unit of representatives of their own choosing for the purpose of collective bargaining...
