Against any cut in rail wages is aligned Labor's strongest force. Steel, copper, textile & other great industries could- and did-cut wages (TIME, Oct. 5) without any great outcry from Labor. But railroad workers are most strongly organized. Their 21 unions contain 1,300,000 members, many affiliated with the American Federation of Labor, others (including the potent Big Four Railroad Brotherhoods-410,000 engineers, firemen, trainmen, conductors) not so affiliated.

As is usually the case in films with which wild animals are intimately connected, the story is both quaint and trivial. A married lady penetrates the Malay wilds to find and be reconciled with her husband (Charles Bickford...
...step. Some sneak thieves were waiting in the shadow of a pillar for just such an opportunity. Quick as a flash they pounced on the package, carried it off to an empty corner of the yards. To the horror of the sneak thieves, the package did not contain food, clothes, or boots, as they hoped, but the strangled body of Professor Ivantsov, neatly swathed in rags...
