...verdict of guilty when the Dictator (House Jameson) appears, encounters a sudden revolt, is shot dead. Even more boisterous and declamatory than Pulitzer Prize-winner Rice's We, the People, this sharply written melodrama suffers from one defect : real news events, when literally re-created in the theatre, tend to sound like burlesques...
...Labor had developed an acute distaste for a system of cutting down supply which also cut down wages by 25%. But Labor had another major complaint. The mills were trying to offset high wages by resorting to the "stretch-out," the hated practice whereby a worker is forced to tend more and more looms.

Senators and Representatives last week felt comparatively virtuous. Other Congresses generally provided their members with topics for investigation which necessitated junkets to Alaska, Europe and other desirable summer resorts. But members of the 73rd Congress are staying within the U. S. to tend their political fences so that next January they may find themselves members of the 74th legislative & inquisitorial Congress...
