...Angeles may not resent TIME'S omission (Nov. 9) of her port at San Pedro as the scene of idle ships in the current maritime dispute. But quiet San Diego would like it known that two, not 22, vessels were tied up at her docks at the strike's outset...
...Francisco's Mayor Angelo Rossi took the opportunity offered by settlement of an incidental warehousemen's strike to thank Mr. McGrady "on behalf of the people of San Francisco," for his "successful" efforts. But every one knew that this was sheer politeness. The Assistant Secretary had by turns persuaded and pounded tables, until local labor leaders called him Edward Ferocious McGrady.

In the autumn of 1933 a tool & die makers' strike tied up most of the industry, many a model at the 1934 show being practically handmade. The strike in the Chevrolet transmission plant in Toledo two years ago temporarily crippled the entire Chevrolet organization. Since that experience General Motors has done what Henry Ford did previously-made sure of at least two sources of supply. The haunting fear of possible famine had something...
