...Court of Appeals for an enforcing order, as provided by the Wagner Act. Then Henry Ford can start a legal battle against the Board which he may carry to the Supreme Court if necessary.

...weakening effects of slavery on the Southern white population, a good picture of Florida justice, a horrified account of New Orleans' fabled immorality, pious reflections mingled with longings for home and loved ones. Henry Whipple loved facts. He noted that the river boat Missouri used 500 cords of wood on its 1,100-mile trip from New Orleans to St. Louis, a third of its round-trip expense of $3,200. He put down the population of the towns he passed, the number of rooms in the St. Charles Hotel in New Orleans, the speed of railroads, the price...
