After ten hours, company officials surrendered, signed on Miss Scheh as a member of the U. S. Manhattan's crew (official stenographer and typist), let her work her way home...

Bewildered by such a Simon-pure amateur spirit, the U. S. L. T. A. decided to take it up as new business at their next meeting...
...high, one part payment which amounted to less than the day's telephone bill ($25). Meantime, in another part of Treasurer Lindheimer's office, another crew of assistants was busy -without any lack of success-in mailing out the first checks of a $4,000,000 refund to 285,000 real-estate taxpayers, ordered by the Illinois Supreme Court, which held part of Chicago's 1934 tax assessment illegal...
