...automobile bearing agents of the U. S. Senate. Whr-r-r-o-r! Out of Connecticut Avenue whizzed an automobile bearing Washington police officers. Speed laws were ignored while pedestrians leaped for their lives. One- two-three, the automobiles screeched to a halt in front of the swank Shoreham Hotel. Their occupants piled out, raced up the steps. Prize of the chase was big black headlines for either Chairman O'Connor of the House Lobby Investigating Committee or Chairman Black of the Senate Lobby Investigating Committee, depending on which one's agents first thrust a subpoena into...

A ragged broken band were United Mine Workers...
President Lewis' personal triumph at the Shoreham Hotel last week tended to overshadow these old familiar charges. Right or wrong in his past tactics, he had been quick enough, shrewd enough, dogged enough to squeeze the maximum benefits for his men from NRA. In three short months he had jacked U. M. W. out of disintegration and despair, energized it into the greatest single affiliate of the American Federation of Labor. He was the prime embodiment of Labor resurgent under the New Deal. As such he was prepared to stride into the A. F. of L. convention this week...
