...tanker-is rapidly lifting her cargo of Venezuela crude. A muffled, methodical, pumping, pumping, pumping sound, and a shimmying, twelve-inch, flexible, metallic, rubber hose, extending overside from her pipe line on deck to a connection on the dock, is all that is evident as this 100,000-barrel monster serenely discharges herself of a valuable oil cargo, and pumps it into storage tanks on shore, from where it goes to the stills and eventually becomes...
...York. Censured by all Manhattan newspapers for the unnecessarily brutal way they had handled a previous demonstration in City Hall Park (TIME, March 10) the 400 patrolmen on riot duty in Union Square were models of decorum during the first two hours of last week's monster demonstration. Conspicuous in the crowd was William Zebu-Ion Foster, No. i Communist in the U. S., and his chief aides-burly, white-haired Editor Robert Minor of the Daily Worker; dour-faced Israel Amter, local Communist organizer. Equally conspicuous was dapper Grover Aloysius Whalen, New York Police Commissioner, and his gold...
...Republican success. The Senate's long tariff siege was frankly harmful to G. 0. Politics. In sharp contrast to the first year of Woodrow W'ilson, the Hoover record on which its supporters must stand in the campaign is blank, except for Farm Relief, still largely experimental. Unless the monster tariff can be got out of the way Congress is likely to adjourn in June with little else accomplished. Old Guard leadership is shattered. Where the President stands on tariff rates is anybody's guess. The House has lost interest in piling up legislation it knows the Senate can never...
...battle. Like wolves, small packs of strikers ran about the streets of the East Liberty business district, threw bricks, stones, milk-bottles at every passing cab. They swooped down on parked cabs, drove off drivers, wrecked their machines. Gradually the scattered groups grew larger, coalesced into a thousand-headed monster thinking trouble. Every police reserve in the city raced to disperse the mob. Mounted police charged it unsuccessfully. When the rioting held up traffic, passengers piled out of street cars, joined the fight. Only after three hours did rioters scatter before tear gas bombs. Casualties: 86 injured, 11 jailed...
Eighty thousand votes were cast in the Democratic primary which nominated and incidentally insured the election of Thomas Semmes Walmsley, red-headed regular, whose insurgent opponent was Francis Williams. Nominee Walmsley has been acting mayor in the absence of Arthur J. O'Keefe, monster (300 lb.) Mayor of New Orleans. The issue in the Democratic primary was last year's bloody trolley strike (TIME, July 15 et seq.). Accusing Candidate Walmsley of helping Public Service Corp. to break the strike, Candidate Williams begged workingmen to "kick the aristocracy out of City Hall." Candidate Walmsley talked of Law & Order...
