Explaining this unusual and sweeping move, the company announced it to be "consistent with a retrenchment policy which the current depression in business demands. Labor has already contributed substantially and it was felt to be only fair that salaried employes should also bear some of the burden. The Chrysler organization is determined to operate its business on a profitable basis under whatever conditions may exist." To stockholders who had seen Chrysler earnings for the first quarter dwindle 98% to a paltry $180,000, this last sentence made pleasant reading...

Last year Mrs. Sarah S. Dennen, the owner, announced she would move the structure to Coney Island in one piece, movers to be trained by highway authorities lest their bridges be damaged.

All nine shells were on time; there were no false starts; in sweltering heat they moved away together down the choppy river, with the nine cox-swains yelping in different keys. They had gone almost a mile when the people mopping their faces on the observation trains began to yell. Massachusetts Tech had pulled out in front, nervy enough to be pacemakers for the big Washington crew that...
