...afire with cigarette lighters. "Beck's been talking about us paying for his defense fund," growled a Seattle taxi driver.

Said a truck driver in Portland, Ore.: "It's high time that somebody finds out what's happening to the $5.50 a month I shell out in dues." As Dave Beck headed back home to Seattle, he proclaimed that he would raise $1,000,000 to tell "the facts," but his own secretary-treasurer said...

Today the government mines all of Italy's coal and 80% of her iron ore; it produces more than three-quarters of the nation's pig iron and half its steel, enjoys a monopoly or near monopoly of rail, sea and air transport, and competes with private industry in the manufacture of scores of products ranging from chocolates to Alfa Romeo cars...
