Now, getting wind that Maestro Rodzinski might cut a few more longhair platters in Europe, Little Caesar thundered: "If he wants to scab, he'd better get out of the union. And if he leaves...he won't be worth a plugged nickel. He'd walk out on the stage and [our members] would walk out on him. That's what would happen to the great Rodzinski...
...French take pride in the artistic appearance of their paper money, but the only French currency that has their unswerving faith is a little gold coin about the size of a U.S. nickel. The napoleon (named for the ruler who first issued it) has a nominal value of 20 francs, or less than a cent. On France's free money market, it brings 4,000 francs ($11.40).

Moreover, by reducing the amount formerly lost in slag, he says it can increase the pure metal recovered from scrap as much as 15% for copper, 70% for zinc. He predicted it could eventually cut the production costs of cobalt up to 80%, copper and nickel as much...
