Because steel production had been booming for weeks, necessitating coal mine operation at full capacity, strikers had plenty of cash in their pock ets. They walked out as if on a summer spree, full of noise and good cheer and enthusiasm. Governor Pinchot ordered guardsmen to Fayette County to help keep the peace (TIME, Aug. 7). By last week the strike had closed every Frick mine in the county. Other companies were beginning...
...these labor disturbances paled beside the strikes which last week pock-marked Eastern Pennsylvania. Of the 25,000 workers on strike throughout the U. S., 18,000 were in Pennsylvania.

...lost in a crevasse. The lovers stay behind to die on the wastes where nothing has ever died or been born before. Director Fritz Lang and his scientific colleagues have made a vigorous Vernesque fantasy and used every resource of the camera in photographing it. Good scenes: the pock-marked moon-face swimming up, nearer and nearer out of space; the point 220,000 mi. from the earth where the gravity of earth and moon cancel each other and the people in the rocket cabin have to use arm and foot straps to keep from floating around...
