...felonies, growing out of the tear gas bombing of the New York Stock Exchange. Although entirely innocent of any crime, the Press, and even TIME, has represented me as a sort of cross between a radical and an anarchist. The only foundation for this is a single statement of mine to the effect that I approve of the act of which I am accused...
...longtime lobbyist, Mr. McGrady knew how t o handle Congressional committees and "white collar" crowds. But this crew inside the hall was different. They had in effect repudiated John L. Lewis, their national president. They were angry and suspicious. "To hell with 'em!" was their attitude toward the mine operators.

Alabama mine owners took the most reactionary position by refusing to go in under any general code...
...Weissmuller (for Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer) and Clarence ("Buster"') Crabbe, who are tall, ingenuous and shaggy at the ears. Crabbe has an advantage over Weissmuller in that he looks even less capable of speech. When he pats Jacqueline Wells on the chest in the last reel and says "That . . . mine. . . ." audiences should find this a feat of intellectual gymnastics even more exciting than his exploits upon vine-trapezes...
