Question of what Congress will make of this formidable program in the next six weeks, and of whether it will do anything much besides laying the groundwork for the regular session, was this week almost as mysterious as Senator Ashurst made it sound.

But Many Mansions, which opened last fortnight, felt the full weight of the union's hand. Besides paying a Hammondist $200 a week, its management had to hire three musicians at union scale ($100 a week for the leader. $75 for others). Since no one wanted them to play, the three last week watched the show every night, prepared...
