...business office Guildsmen were called out on strike after the Guild's demand for a contract was turned down, Publisher Millard Preston Goodfellow worked through day and night with a punctured staff, got out the regular evening editions while as many as 250 pickets booed from the sidewalk. Ten were arrested for disorderly conduct. Printers pierced the picket line to prepare evening editions, reminded the Guild of the contract between the Eagle and the International Typographical Union, in effect until June 30, 1938.

Probably no one spot in all Rightist Spain contains as much actual news and incredible gossip...
...Nanking Road side of the narrow lounge, hurdling overturned tea tables, chairs and prostrate forms of guests seeking the safety of the floor.
