That however is not the worst feature of the Act. Those provisions which allow a bare majority of workers in a plant to bargain collectively for the entire employed staff, are so obviously dangerous as scarcely to require comment. Any arrangement which allows the imposition of the will of 51% of workers, and constitutes that 51% as the sole bargaining representatives of the entire number of employees, is not an arrangement that safeguards the best interests of all the workers. There might better be no collective bargaining at all, rather than allowing a bare majority of workers...
...Spontaneous" sit-downs of dissatisfied unionists have plagued General Motors and U. A. W. officials ever since they came to terms last month.* Late last week the worst outbreak of unauthorized sit-downs and walkouts to date shut nine G. M. plants in Flint and Pontiac, including the big Flint plant which makes all Chevrolet motors. A few of the strikes were in protest against discharge of union employes, but most were ostensibly called because rank & file hotheads felt they were not getting enough representation on shop committees, that their grievances were not being settled quickly enough.

...story is transparently thin, and the acting is uniformly bad. Miss Moore, as an opera star deported by the quirks of the immigration law, who gets back to the United States by marrying Cary Grant, a wandering artist, is utterly unconvincing.

The rest of the cast, Aline MacMahon, Cary Grant, and Luis...
...much less directly. If the Stanley Cup were awarded to the winner of the series between the two teams that led their respective divisions of the National Hockey League, the maximum number of games in the playoffs would be five. What happens instead is that all but the two worst of the league's eight teams engage in a complex round-robin of which the most noteworthy feature is that it provides for a maximum of 19 games. This scheme pleases hockey club owners, because they thereby make more money. It also pleases hockey addicts, because it gives them...
