...this for the strike that San Francisco had last week. Other marine unions?seamen, pilots, cooks and stewards?jumped into the fray with demands of their own for pay, hours, union recognition. Hot-headed strike leaders welcomed alliance with open arms, for it gave them an opportunity to shake a bigger stick. When Joseph P. Ryan, national president of the International Longshoremen's Association, tried to negotiate a settlement on the basis of non-partisan control of the hiring halls, Leader Bridges and his embattled followers turned down the agreement because it did not provide for their allies. Their determination...
...Fundamentally Sound," The sequel to this patriotic Persian attempt to shake the foreigners down was a hasty visit to Teheran by Anglo-Persian's suave Board Chairman and "Petrol Diplomat."

Capitalism is changing, but it still has a few tricks up its sleeve. ''The chills and fever of capitalism, observed since its infancy, shake and burn its whole body more drastically as it approaches old age." Wall Street, he implies, has not yet seen its last boom or its last crash. Author Soule disagrees with many a Republican who thinks a revolution took place when Roosevelt was elected. He sums up the New Deal...
...Protestant churches, warm weather brings conferences and assemblies. Ministers meet, talk, elect officers, pass resolutions, shake hands, go home with new pious zeal. Last week met the following church groups: Dunkers or Dunkards are so named because they dunk. Descended from German pietists of the 18th Century, they believe not only in baptism by immersion but in strict Biblical interpretation, passive resistance to force, rigid avoidance of tobacco, spirits, musical instruments and, until recently, electricity, automobiles and telephones. Last week on the Brubaker Farm near Eaton, Ohio gathered 8,000 Dunkers, the men in black coats and broad-brimmed hats...
