...Just how old-fashioned this sort of Labor fighting has become, Chicago's City Council demonstrated last week. The Council agreed to build a grandstand for memorial services for ten Little Steel strikers who were shot & killed by Chicago police on Memorial...
...finest in the world, hold the longdistance flight record of 7,162 miles. By using spruce, of which Oregon has plenty, instead of metal weaving strips, Greenwood-Yates have cut the cost of frame material for a single airplane to $50, are able to build it lighter than with steel...
Full-grown, old-style war babies were no better off. President Eugene Grace of Bethlehem Steel (whose big Eastern shipyards are running at full capacity, have just received new orders for one battleship and two cruisers) saw his common selling at 30% below the year's high. U. S. Steel Corp. was floundering in the red. General Electric's Gerard Swope had nothing to cheer about: his April orders had failed to hold the March improvement...
...each War year. Production doubled between 1914 and 1917, the pace of U. S. economic activity stepped up, the way was paved for the still greater output during the 1920s. In 1926 production was 10% greater than the 1917 peak. U. S. economy has grown in size. Example: Wartime steel capacity was overstrained to produce 40,000,000 tons; present capacity is over 70,000,000 tons. In the grown-up economy, equivalent doses of new money do not produce equivalent effects. In 1938 some $18,500,000,000 of new money was put to work, but only...
...production capacities are roughly five times British. Examples: Our national income, at full recovery, would be well above $90,000,000,000, probably around $100,000,000,000, Britain's was about $22,000,000,000 in 1937, practically a capacity year for them; U. S. steel capacity is over 70,000,000 tons, British steel capacity is 14,000,000. British industry is now for the first time getting a real lift from arms spending of $2,948,000,000 for defense-44% more than our 1939 bill. To achieve a proportional effect on a five...
