Next morning the notice had gone, and another was in its place: "Workers needed immediately." Another sign promised that the plant would henceforth operate full scale and that workers would be paid for overtime and piecework. Haughty Don Elisardo took back the 1,400 hungry, silent men in black berets who had dared to strike against him. But he had a triumph anyway: he called them all "new employees." Every striker was penalized by losing his seniority-a man with 40 years' service was hired on the same basis as any young lad just out of school...

Theoretically, this would open undermanned British coal mines to thousands of Italian miners; in practice, local prejudices are not likely to yield...
Last week, as part of Britain's nationwide slum clearance program, the waiting kids got a real break. The town planners of Crawley New Town, a vast new urban development project 30 miles south of London, decided that henceforth all new pubs built in the district must include a Kiddie Bar, where the little 'uns can find their own solace in ice cream, ginger beer or orange squash...
