Last week the steelmasters, as a voluntary peace move, agreed to run their mines in concert with the coal code, giving their men the same wages and hours as prevail in commercial mines. This agreement was promptly approved by President Roosevelt in the hope of placating the strikers. But they stayed out, insisting that the steelmen must give them full recognition. When virtual recognition seemed attained last week, U. M. W. leaders ordered the 75,000 strikers back to work...
...NRAdministrator McGrady who won a strike truce by promising the miners a "square deal'' from the White House. Out of that strike was born the National Labor Board under New York's Senator Wagner.

The sailors then assemble themselves in the shape...

There are manufacturers of aluminum pots, pans, propellers, but only one U. S. producer of virgin aluminum-Aluminum Company of America, dominated by Andrew William Mellon & Family. The hearing soon settled down to a clean-cut fight between the independent fabricators, who must not only buy from Alcoa all their aluminum (except scrap) but also market their wares in competition with Alcoa, which is by far the biggest fabricator. The independents objected to three...
