...cruiser legislation. I have made no public or private statement upon this question, further than appeared during the campaign. I have stated universally to various callers that it would be improper for me to express any views on current matters of the administration. I regret if this reticence should result in misapprehension. As you know, I warmly support your own views and you may so inform others if you wish...
...cruisers. It is tolerably plain that we have started a race in building. It is tolerably plain that the limit [10,000 tons] was put too high for real economy.

We naturally had to do the same thing. But it was not until 1924, two or three years after the Washington Conference, that any of these cruisers were laid down in this country. That was done by the Socialist [British Labor...
Several correspondents suggested that unless the Conservative Government of Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin acts quickly to relieve miner distress, the result of Edward of Wales' tour may be a storm of indignation which will cost Mr. Baldwin the next election.

His outward aspect, the material of sculpture, mirrored...
Representatives of Pennsylvania R. R.'s employes last week met with representatives of their employers and discussed, amicably, a wage increase. Result: the Pennsylvania swelled its payroll by about $4,000,000 per annum, some 43,000 employes benefiting. The bulk of the raises went to shop, maintenance-of-way and structural department employes. Prosperous was the railroad month of December, 1928. Forty-six Class I railroads reported an increase in net operating income of 67.3% over December 1927- $47,367,000 compared...
