...Republic's have been brought against Labor, partly because many employers are so ignorant as to believe that unions are not "responsible," not liable to suit. Other reasons: litigation is slow, costly, uncertain; employers sometimes prefer to try to break unions before they have acquired the power to restrain trade. Anti-union employers got their great awakening only last April when Apex won its verdict for $711,000 in triple damages against Branch 1 of C. I. O.'s American Federation of Hosiery Workers (TIME, April 10). The Apex strike was a sitdown, which the U. S. Supreme...
...Extended its attack on the Giannini interests by seeking a permanent injunction to restrain Timetrust, Inc. from further sale of certificates representing ownership in various Giannini banks. About $1,600,000 in such certificates is outstanding. SEC charged that they are a means of "obtaining money ... by means of untrue statements" such as that their purchase is similar to starting a savings account. Timetrust's President Meredith Parker retorted that SEC was using "unlawful and unwarranted tactics" to embarrass the Giannini family...
...then the American statement takes on added significance. Some force must be found partially to restrain Hitler,--to force him at least to move less quickly--or he will precipitate a war before England and France are ready.

Nov. 23, et ante). The Mortimer-Frankensteen faction this week asked a circuit court in Detroit to restrain Homer Martin from consummating an "illegal conspiracy" with Ford "to disrupt the union and establish a company-dominated fake. . . .:' Messrs. Frankensteen and Mortimer suspected that a deal was in the making whereby canny Mr. Bennett would deliver 100,000-odd Ford workers (and union votes) to Mr. Martin...
...first struggle for expansion against Russia (1904-05), the U. S. was totally impotent in Japan and China. Unless Congress sent the Navy to enforce U. S. trade rights-which action U. S. business interests in China would deplore as strongly as U. S. home sentiment would restrain it-there was nothing further Secretary Hull could do or say. Without hindrance from any other Power, Japan by last week had taken unto itself 430,000 square miles of new territory, well sprinkled with blood. For 17 months it had bored like a host of deliberate, conscienceless termites into the vast...
