...Union during 1937 has apparently been due to too great "speedup" efforts under the system called Stakhanovism (TIME, Dec. 16, 1935). The Economic Council of the Soviet Cabinet investigated last week a case in which Joseph Stalin himself had apparently been hoaxed. The Dictator voted in Russia's recent election for a candidate whose claim was that as a Stakhanovite pacesetter he had increased his milling-machine output 9,000%. Last week the successful candidate's Soviet boss and fellow workers were revealed to have helped him to rebuild and alter two milling machines, greatly overspeeded, into whose...
Monopoly? Homer Cummings and the Department of Justice have for the last few months been looking into the way the newsprint mills fix what to charge the publishers. Formerly newsprint prices fluctuated as restlessly as any lover of free competition could desire. But in more recent times (and consistently since the newsprint industry tasted the sweets of NRA) it has announced its next year's contract price all at once-and the price is generally the lowest asked by any mill turning out more than 100,000 tons a year.

Last week, in the opinion of most Atlantic City concessionaires and hotelmen, Mayor White was right about the most recent group of visitors. These were some 3,000 earnest folk assembled for the annual convention of the Allied Social Science Associations...
...latest bomb in its recent attack on the New York stock exchange, the Securities & Exchange Commission last week released its annual report to Congress, declaring that national exchanges have not yet demonstrated their capacity "to police their markets effectively against manipulative and deceptive practices." Hardly was this news on the streets when-giving a convenient plausibility to its assertion- SEC brought formal charges of manipulation in the stock of Auburn Automobile Co. against two partners of the important brokerage house of E. F. Hutton & Co. and a floor trader on the New York stock exchange. Most startling...
