...Boston last week the Newspaper Guild lost, 182-10-157, an NLRB election on the Boston Globe. Chosen bargaining agent instead by editorial, maintenance and business employes was the independent Boston Globe Employes' Association. Ironic sidelight: the Guild's national president, Donal Sullivan, a Boston Globe reporter and desk man, will henceforth have to let a rival union bargain for his salary...
...very interesting sidelight to the President's inauguration took place in one of the schools of our county. Plans were made to read the same chapter of the Bible (for that day) as the President laid his hand on when he took the oath. Somehow or other the teacher opened to the 13th chapter of II Corinthians instead of I Corinthians, and was amazed to read, "This is the third time I am coming unto...
Interesting sidelight on the battle between the so-called "cold, classical" and the "warm" jazz tone was given this reviewer the other day by one of the Hruby brothers, of the Cleveland Orchestra.

...Wheeler produced a letter written to O. P. & M. J. Van Sweringen in March 1930, by Joseph R. Swan, then president of Guaranty Co. Mr. Swan's letter, introduced to prove that C. & O. really acquired no option but immediate control of C. & E. I., was an interesting sidelight on the dummy deal. Wrote he: "I very much need some profit for the Guaranty Co. in this quarter, and on that account wondered whether or not it would be possible for you to arrange that we should receive the commission in connection with the purchase...
