...labor movement was established early in this century. In 1906, in negotiations with the Employers' Confederation (SAF), the National Confederation of Trade Unions (L.O.) gave up all claims of "managerial prerogatives" such as hiring, firing, and the organization of production in exchange for recognition. Ever since the now infamous "Paragraph 32" of SAF's rules has required that all contracts contain a statement of these prerogatives. However, recognition was much more important than hypothetical bargaining rights when it came to organizing.

Mex., was won in exactly 21.98 sec. As the ultimate sprint for quarter horses−cowboy mounts bred for brief bursts of speed, often by crossbreeding with thoroughbreds−the Futurity yielded an opulent purse of no less than $330,000 to the winner, a fat 58% more than the $209,600 first prize at the Kentucky Derby. Even the tenth horse, which was scratched, collected...
