Andrews Over Industry. Assigned to fit U. S. industry to this jacket is Wages & Hours Administrator Elmer F. Andrews, a deceptively mild man who as New York State Commissioner of Industry learned to slap with a gloved hand. On the fifth floor of the Labor Department Building in Washington last week, Elmer Andrews labored at his prodigious task with less than 100 helpers...

U. the master contract looked like a device to write off concessions previously won from individual employers and strait-jacket the union...
...brown-faced little Hindu nephew (Sabu).

Big Mike Mahoney, who is supposed to have retired with $250,000 in his poke, spends most of his time at luncheons and banquets reciting Poet Robert W. Service's doleful ballads Dangerous Dan McGrew and The Cremation of Sam McGee. According to Mr. Mahoney, he was present, along with Poet Service, when a crazed engineer named Madden burst into the Dominion saloon at Dawson and shot Gambler McGrew for running away with his wife...
