...time and any odd change available in preventing soil erosion (TIME, Jan. 27). The "amendment" gave him power for two years to pay farmers not only for preventing erosion but for conserving "fertility" by growing soil-conserving crops (e. g., clover) instead of various cash crops (e. g., cotton, corn, wheat) whose price Congress wants to boost. The bill limits the amount that he may spend for this purpose to $500,000,000 a year. By not imposing any taxes to raise this money (taxes are to come later in another bill), the AAA substitute reduced to a minimum...
...impatiently looking for his cut. In Manhattan a small, blond Ultimate Consumer named Edwin Reiskind brought suit "on behalf of myself and all other consumers of agricultural products." This Russian-born left-winger sought to restrain Standard Milling Co., National Biscuit Co., Wheatena Corp., Postum Co., Consolidated Cigar Corp., Corn Products Refining Co. and 19 other companies from "disposing and wasting" any of their refunded tax.

The American Distilling Co. uses it to make Old Colony Gin. The American Distilling Co. employes are organized into a company union and an American Federation of Labor union. Last August an A. F. of L. man, employed as an engineer, was discharged for letting a vat of mash boil over. Fellow unionists protested. The man was rehired to haul ashes. This pretext led to a union v. union strike, which...
...beautician was operating in all Pekin. In freezing cold union delegates had informed all merchants that if their shops were not locked up by the strike's deadline, their windows would be smashed. Not a shop in Pekin was open after 3 p.m. Six hundred allied workers at Corn Products Refining Co. then voted to walk out. Other workers promised to quit in sympathy...
