...achieved official maturity in 1935 when Congress put it, along with trucking, under control of the Interstate Commerce Commission. Appropriately the interstate bus drivers went into the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen. But interstate bus and truck lines are not yet within the moderating influence of the Railway Labor Act. Result was that with little or no warning, the country last week suffered its first major bus strike. The Railroad Trainmen called out 1,300 drivers on eight Greyhound lines serving 16 States east of the Mississippi...

Even A Report was the result of heated wrangling, with Ambassador Davis among those who fought vainly to get it entitled A Report to the Governments Here Represented.

Latest of these products to roll from the presses was Your Children and Their Schools, "an informal report to the patrons of the Los Angeles City School District," with 234 illustrations...
...result, an illustrated book with the general format of FORTUNE, was a great success. Its first printing of 3,000 copies was quickly exhausted, likewise a second printing of 1,000 copies. Today, as Secretary Shiebler is getting his third illustrated report ready for press, his files are laden with 10,000 letters from parents and top-rank educators who admired his first two efforts, and publishers have made offers to print it commercially...
