...Hershey's 2,600 employes were enrolled in a United Chocolate Workers' Union, and the company had signed a union agreement. But when the summer slack in the chocolate business began to set in last fortnight, the union charged that the company was violating its agreement to respect seniority, discriminating against unionists in layoffs. One day about half the workers stopped the factory with a Sit-Down. When negotiations began next day, they walked out. When negotiations broke off last week, some 600 of them went back to resume sitting...
...calm British termed "unprecedented" last week the lack of respect for their Navy's traditional might shown by Rightist aviators off Mallorca. They impudently dropped 15 bombs, none of which hit the British destroyer Gallant, were repelled by her shellfire, and when London asked apologies these were profusely given -but still those Spanish aviators had been "unprecedentedly" cocky.

Although matters touching highest offices of State thus hung in the balance, what seemed to be the trouble was a spat between "Rumania's two Mrs. Simpsons," for in this respect the little kingdom has doubled up on Great Britain.

For many years there has been contention between Labor and Capital. . . . The daily news with respect to labor disputes is now of vast proportion. . . . Strong sympathy for or strong prejudice against a given cause . . . has too often...
With great earnestness, no sense of humor, an entirely undisciplined style Evelyn Scott attempted to raise from the dead the following peacefully slumbering corpse: how shall a second-rate writer support a wife, two children and his own self-respect during an economic depression? Though Evelyn Scott lists herself with the great minority of Stendhal, Balzac, Flaubert, Dostoievsky, Tolstoy, few readers will count her their equal. While they may give her solemn approbation for her attempt "to convey something of the nightmare negation of the human by the machine," they will close her book without much fellow feeling...
