Last week's other important strike involved recognition of United Mine Workers by the "captive" soft coal mines of Pennsylvania. These mines are owned and their entire output is used by the great non-union iron and steel companies. Last fortnight U. M. W. won complete recognition from most commercial mine operators in a blanket wage contract under the coal code. Because that contract did not include the "captive" mines of U. S. Steel Corp., Bethlehem Steel and others, some 75,000 Pennsylvania diggers under Insurgent Martin Ryan refused to work in any sort of mine...
...Pennsylvania coal strike sharply raised the issue of Labor's moral obligation as a "partner" with Government and Industry in the recovery program. Last summer soft coal miners first struck when operators tried to thwart their unionization under NRA.

Warner Baxter is very rich, the Adairs are genteel but poor, and Mr. Walter Connolly is very...
...Lapham board. . . . Every constructive or corrective effort, or activity, ever made has been carried out over the protest or objection of some, if not all, of the Lapham representatives," roared Mr. Holmes. To Mr. Holmes the most sinister in fluence in Texaco is Jack Lapham. A slim, blue-eyed, soft-spoken man of 51, whose father was one of Texaco's founders, Jack Lapham lives in Austin, plays polo, flies his own planes. Though no single one of Texaco's 90,000 stockholders owns more than a 2% interest, the Lapham family owns 250,000 shares...
