...Guard one-pounders wheeled out for the G. M. strike, they set up to look like cannon (see cut). Far from innocuous were the clubs and blackjacks with which they had armed themselves, the great iron bins lined three deep inside plant gates, filled with such missiles as bolts, pipe joints, grenade-sized automobile parts. "Troops might get through here," a striker confided to Scripps-Howard's Raymond Clapper, "but you ought to see what we've got inside. We have much more material than this piled around each stairway." "It would be folly," roared the New York...

The police, fearing a rush by armed workmen into the Olympia and a massacre inside, were now trying to evacuate the 300 French Social Party members and pipe them safely out of the arrondissement through thin police lines stretching through the crowd of 10,000.

We find ourselves constantly looking away from the printed page, staring into space to work out in our own mind the meaning and value of his words. And, strangely enough, we are more than half the time in agreement with...
...Rubenstein has departed with his slaked lime, but others have come to take his place to divert the Vagabond. A great pipe organ rises in the loft of the main hall. Wires, pipes, bellows and queerly shaped pieces of wood are strewn about in ordered confusion. It seems fitting that there should be an organ here to express in music the Wagnerian scenes of Lewis Rubenstein's murals, but I fear for the effects of its vibrations upon the fragile plaster casts of mediaeval saints...
