...suits like Republic's have been brought against Labor, partly because many employers are so ignorant as to believe that unions are not "responsible," not liable to suit. Other reasons: litigation is slow, costly, uncertain; employers sometimes prefer to try to break unions before they have acquired the power to restrain trade. Anti-union employers got their great awakening only last April when Apex won its verdict for $711,000 in triple damages against Branch 1 of C. I. O.'s American Federation of Hosiery Workers (TIME, April 10). The Apex strike was a sitdown, which...

These recent happenings have, rightly or wrongly, made every State which lies adjacent to Germany unhappy, anxious and uncertain about Germany's future intention. If that is all a misunderstanding, if the German Government have never had any such thought, so much the better...

Another morrow, and the wind shrieks again, and the cold rains descend, pelting back the vernal equinox to a more remote calendar page. Hour examinations, like so many scalping Comanches, are taking their bi-yearly toll. Concluding winter athletics are vieing desperately with commencing spring activities.
