...position of the industry (and that of Tubize Chattilon itself) is each day more firmly dependent. Many chemical engineers would have risked even money on the line that, even if labor had been willing to operate the plant at a collective wage of $0.00 a week, manufacture of nitrocellulose yarn at the plant would have ceased by August 1936. They would tell you, too, that it is probably as cheap to build a new acetate plant as to attempt a conversion...
...stimulate Anglo-German trade received a sharp setback. A Lancashire textile delegation sent to Berlin under Sir George Holden with the cooperation of the Board of Trade reported most adversely on German credit. Promptly in Manchester the Empire's leading cotton spinners announced that they will sell no more yarn to Germany, that as a result they must throw out of work at least 10.000 skilled spinning operatives in Lancashire, 40,000 other Britons, directly or indirectly employed in cotton milling...
...happy years Tubize (now Tubize Chatillon Corp.) made rayon yarn at Hopewell. By last April, when labor troubles first visited Tubize Chatillon, it was third largest manufacturer of this material in the U. S.

Others the company undertook to smuggle out of town for their own safety...
Last week Capital as well as Labor went on strike at Hopewell when President Bassill announced from New York that he would not now re-open his Virginia yarn plant even if his 1,858 employes wanted to go back to work. In a letter to Conciliator Anna Weinstock of the Department of Labor he declared that it would take at least three months to repair and renew the Hopewell machinery wrecked by the night raid of the strikers. Such repairs, he said, would cost thousands of dollars?far more than Tubize Chatillon stockholders would be warranted in investing...
...shrug their shoulders over the impossibility of explaining its fascination to a foreigner. For parlor aficionados (fans), Ernest Hemingway's Death in the Afternoon (TIME, Sept. 26, 1932) is a compendious if somewhat arty guide. For plainer readers who prefer their foreign stuff wrapped in a good romantic yarn, Matador will do well. Marguerite Steen's cape-work is not so professional as Matador Hemingway's, but she puts on a good show...
