...debate last week was ingeniously based on conjecture. Said Laborite John R. Clynes: "I don't need to know what the Government is going to propose. Anyone can guess. . . . The Government will attempt to make strikes unlawful, except in circumstances where they are doomed to failure." Sir John Simon, famed for his great pronouncement on the general strike (TIME, May 17) rejoined: "The trade union law is in a muddled state. It would be well to have it cleared. . . . There are ominous signs that the Labor leaders regard the general strike of last May as only a dress rehearsal...
...work. Perhaps "greatest living jongleur" would define him better, since he relies so upon borrowed accents, fantastic metres, the dress of other days. Once, at least, has this jongleur been more than little or impudent. He wrote "The Ballad of the Goodly Fere," an account of the Crucifixion by Simon Zelotes, hard-bitten mariner.

...Lofts, office buildings and high-grade apartment construction was overdone. These types are overbuilt and we will not finance any more buildings of this character. However, we are lending money for small apartments or flat houses and one and two-family houses." When he had first said this, President Simon William Straus of S. W.

Baker of Washington & Jefferson College (Washington, Pa.) made a pilgrimage to Manhattan, where he interviewed employers and employment agencies from J. P. Morgan & Co. and the Carnegie Foundation on down. Last week President Baker announced that, to his great surprise, much that Mr. Babson had said received wide endorsement. President...
...arrested in a night club, switches to the Wets after a month in jail, with such success that he is elected to Congress, and his daughter and pet office girl are free to marry their respective tenors. Bide Dudley (dramatic critic of the N. Y. Evening World) and Louis Simon (actor in the play) wrote the book, worked in many a laugh, also insinuated a jail scene, one of those atrociously vulgar burlesques on sex perversion so popular this year. It was greeted enthusiastically, justifying entirely the discretion of the writers. The audience left the theatre whistling " 'Cross...
