Seventy-five thousand unorganized cattle bellowed an anguished protest. A few coatless clerks of the stock yards and commission houses, a few foremen and superintendents in shirt sleeves-in all, perhaps, 200 men-went down into the pens to water 75,000 thirsty cattle. The Government dared not hire men to care for its 50,000 head for fear of being accused of strikebreaking. So all day the foremen and white collar workers labored alone.

Those who popped their heads into the Assistant Secretary's office just before he left for his Senatorial inquisition, found Dr. Tugwell having his white doeskin shoes cleaned and whitened. His necktie, shirt and socks always conform to a careful color scheme, and in passing a mirror he is apt, perhaps unconsciously, to give himself a glance. At 42 he is a handsome figure of a man. Besides being a connoisseur of dress, he is also an amateur of wines. Otherwise he leads the life...
