...United States, perhaps? After all, we have our Du Ponts, who at least "own" the state of Delaware. We have an army and navy whose officers, according to the statement of a former Cabinet officer, are far and away more active than the officers of any other armed forces in the world against any sort of international standings. We have an armament bill over $200,000,000 a year. We wrecked the Naval Conference at Geneva in 1927. We have our Midvale Co. (controlled by the Baldwin Locomotive Works) which prospered mightily during the war and has continued the manufacture...
...arms industry, say Attorneys Engelbrecht & Hanighen, is comparatively innocent. Biggest U. S. ammunition maker is Du Pont, whose business is so diversified that only 2% of it in the last two years has been military products. "There is no single armament company in the U.

Of its 714 employes, 353 (a plurality) voted to be represented by the Amalgamated Association of Street & Electric Railway Employes. 325 voted for a company union and 36 did not vote. Senator Wagner got the Labor Board (Pierre du Pont, dissenting) to upset the NRA ruling and decide that all the employes should be represented by the Amalgamated, that the lesser minority and individuals should be denied the right of separate bargaining. Third major fault that Senator Wagner found with the labor provisions of the Recovery Act was that they...
...birthday party and he had no idea who the gentleman he was embracing was. All this was very depressing for Raymond Hubert. Wandering home from the Palais de Justice he jumped into the Seine. Police fished him out. Dripping wet, he got as far as the middle of the Pont de Solférino when he jumped into the Seine again. He landed in front of a large barge, whose sailors pulled him out with a boat-hook and sent him to a hospital...
