...case originated early last May when 250 C.I.O. unionists took over Apex Hosiery's Philadelphia plant, refused to budge until they won a closed-shop contract. The company claimed the plant was stormed from without, that 2,500 workers were driven from their jobs, that $3,000,000 worth of damage was done during the rioting. For seven weeks the sit-downers held complete possession. After a Federal District Court judge denied Apex an injunction, the company appealed. Said the three Circuit Court jurists in last week's unanimous opinion...
Next day, to Hearst's Chicago Herald & Examiner came one of those incredible strokes of luck that make newspaper life worth living. Robert Irwin, the most sought-after murderer then at large in the U. S. (TIME, April 12), had just telephoned the Chicago Tribune ("Worlds Greatest Newspaper"), offered to surrender for a price, was not believed. So he called the Hearst paper, had his terms accepted, and slouched into their offices to pour out the story of the Gedeon murders in a voluminous, jumbled, sex-loaded signed confession. From late Saturday until Sunday afternoon Hearst writers and cameramen...
...billion dollars (?200,000,000) to the Exchange Equalization Fund of $750,000,000 with which John Bull has been operating in the world's money markets. He revealed that last March 30 the Fund possessed 26.674,000 oz. of fine gold, or $933,590,000 worth, compared to $2,584470,000 owned by the Bank of England and $11,000,000,000 worth by the U. S., whose currency stabilizing fund is $2,000,000.000. The stabilizing fund of the French Treasury, originally $450,000,000, was recently reported virtually exhausted (TIME, June 28). Thus last week bankers...
...with a jump in residential building from about 150,000 new homes in 1935 to an estimated 275,000 in 1936. It was the industry's first profitable year since 1929 and shone brightly indeed after the darkness of 1932, when furniture makers sold only $206,000,000 worth of goods, losing $25 on every $100 worth. It was also a higher profit on sales than the industry made in 1928, though in that year sales were around $600,000,000. Good reason for this seemed to lie in the fact that overhead costs (factory, selling, administrative), which...
...sales jumped 40% and last week, on Mr. Mac's advice, stockholders voted to split the current outstanding 350,000 snares 2-for-1, raise total capitalization from 400,000 to 1,200,000 shares to pay for expansion since 1933. "Liquid" will also issue $3,500,000 worth of convertible debentures to help keep its finances liquid. Last week its stock sold at $48, was paying a 65? quarterly dividend...
