...Since a big strike was crushed in 1886 in Chicago, only two major labor disturbances - one in 1904, one in 1921-have troubled the stockyards. Each was finally throttled. Workers are low-paid. Their wages rank 13th among the 15 major industries. But nearly all larger packers have some sort of employe representation plan...
Japanese-Manchukuoan troops last week were still trying to drive Soviet-Mongol forces back across the Khalka River. Correspondents who examined prisoners reported that the Russians were employing the poorest sort of cannon-fodder, ignorant conscripts who scarcely knew how to use rifles. The Japanese were, however, having their difficulties with fleets of Soviet tanks and a rejuvenated Air Force. New and better planes from bases in Siberia suddenly appeared and scattered high explosives and what imaginative Japanese officers said were "germ" bombs...

Unlike the storming of the Cardinal's palace last autumn (TIME, Oct. 17), the incidents in his rustic progress did not appear to have been stage-managed by Nazi leaders. But Cardinal Innitzer may have expected something of the sort. He has ceased flying a papal flag on his automobile, has had its license number changed. Last fortnight he ordered all priests, monks and nuns in his archdiocese to wear secular dress in the streets...
