...fine fresh morning, nor on a sultry afternoon. It is after the shades of night have fallen, when fatigue and strain have weakened the obstinacy of men, and peace, like sleep, comes to knit up the raveled sleeve of contention.

"Keep the Home Fires Burning" would be a good slogan for the C.I.O., taking a handicap off the Canadian unions and turning time...
...regular seasonal layoff of some 300 workers in which unionists claimed that long-employed union men were being dismissed while newer non-unionists stayed on. The sit-down lasted only 25 hours. Down from Detroit flew a U. A. W. vice president and several Ford officials, quickly negotiated a settlement restoring all jobs and guaranteeing seniority rights, got the men out of the plant.
