...sole but vital aim of last summer's bloody strike had been to win signed bargaining agreements from Republic, Bethlehem, Youngstown Sheet & Tube and Inland Steel. When strike tactics failed, S. W. O. C. began filing charges with the labor board. Certain that it had a majority of the workers in two Inland Steel plants, S. W. O. C. decided to lodge against this company its most far-reaching complaint: that by refusing to reduce an oral agreement to writing, the company had refused to bargain collectively in violation of the National Labor Relations Act. Last week, Chairman Madden...
...Leftist Spain on Christmas Day 1936. Around a campfire were some 90 U. S. Leftists who had simply gone to Spain as individuals and they formed the nucleus of the Battalion. Its money-collecting Friends organized themselves in Manhattan on April 20, 1937. According to their latest balance sheet, they have raised $115,701.42 of which administrative expenses have consumed $13,830.97 and there has been disbursed to the Abies & Georgies...
...Open championship to one-eyed Tommy Armour by the slim margin of a 15-ft. putt. For the past five years he has maintained a scoring average that no U.

Although an average of fourth place...
...such balance sheet the Republican Party's main asset does not appear. This is Depression, the chief cause assignable to the Gallup poll's recent indication that the G. O. P.'s 90 Representatives would be increased by 85. An infallible rule of U. S. politics has always been that bad times, whether justifiably or not, are always attributed by voters to the party in power, which consequently gets ousted. Current Depression, which more plausibly than most, can be attributed to the Federal Government, gives the G. O. P. what it has not had since...
...Davey. The Committee expects eight new Congressmen from the corn & wheat belt, one or two from the Rocky Mountain States and two on the West Coast, from Oregon and Washington, where the Gallup Poll gave them none. Another item on the G. O. P.'s curiously negative balance sheet is of course the noisy Democratic split in Pennsylvania (see p. 16). Hoping then for a sure gain of 13, Joe Martin and his committee were last week inclined to revise their estimates upward...
