...collective bargaining, thundered an "ultimatum" at General Motors. But, occupied as he was with a national steel organizing campaign, an internecine fight with leaders of the American Federation of Labor and the possibility of having to lead his United Mine Workers in a strike against the nation's soft coal operators, few observers believed that he would also risk a head-on clash with great G. M. Hence there was reason last week to believe U. A. W. assertions that the burgeoning G. M. sit-down strikes were, at least in part, spontaneous outbursts of old grievances against...

He paints everything on panels of soft wood, to ab sorb the excess oil in his pigments, and refuses to varnish any picture until ten years after he has painted it. He believes colors take that long...
...town, Governor La Follette and President Frank politely called on each other, pleasantly nodded at Badger football games. Governor Phil, worldly wise, did not share the resentment of many a rural legislator at President Frank's suavity, his well pressed clothes, the fact that he spoke with a soft cultivation belying his birthplace, Queen City, Mo. And as Phil had been the youngest U. S. Governor, so Glenn Frank had been (until Chicago's Hutchins) the youngest chief executive of a major U. S. university...
