...bluntly declared that industrial management "can and does effectively destroy the right of self-organization among workmen." When writing the Wagner Act another Congress had been well aware that in fighting labor, business did not hesitate to use intimidation, coercion, discharges, stool-pigeons, company unions. Moreover, Laborman Madden could cite a Supreme Court decision upholding the right to organize written by no less eminent a Republican than the late Chief Justice William Howard Taft, who once opined from the bench: "[Labor unions] were organized out of the necessities of the situation.

People who cite insomnia as their reason for reading John Buchan's romances and detective stories are flattered and disarmed by Lord Tweedsmuir's story that he also devotes his serious working hours to historical biographies, business trading and politics.

Such as that Mr. Auslander is "a lyric, not to say a complaining, poet" is to me an entirely uncalled-for, not to say an utterly unmeaning line. I could cite complaint, as your critic understands the term-or appears to understand it-in every fine poet since and including Shakespeare. Any adverse comment on existence might be so cited as a "complaint." The "complaint" in Dante and in Milton must indeed be enormous! The whole thing is laughable, if it were...
