...their securities for 1) otherwise identical non-gold-clause bonds, or 2) cash at par. This was a plain invitation by the Government to the public: If you are afraid of inflation, cask your bonds now and use the money to hoard commodities or anything else you think will protect yon from inflation.

The industry has always outdone itself in keeping its workers employed in slack times for fear of losing what few skilled lace-makers there are in the U. S. And wearing gay lace...
...that music is a physical thing-a commodity which is transmitted from State to State. Burkan's persistent retort has been that music is "intangible and incorporeal." Lawyer Thomas Day Thacher. U. S. Solicitor General under Herbert Hoover, entered the trial to argue that ASCAP existed only to protect the rights of composers and lyric writers, pooh-poohed the idea that the organization was potent enough to dominate an industry which includes such interests as American Telephone & Telegraph Co., General Electric, Westinghouse, Radio Corporation of America...
