...Chiseling' may be a slang word but chiseling is the chief threat to this movement. From your good town of St. Louis there came to my desk the other day a drawing of a turkey buzzard-a sickly opposite of the blue hawk. In his loathsome talons is a chisel. . . . Nothing more apt has come to this administration...
...settled. Fayette County miners, suspicious of the truce, refused to return to work at once. Over the weekend Leader Lewis worked frantically to regain control of his men, implored them to honor his signature on the armistice terms. Animosity was directed principally against the Frick mines whose reopening, under threat of renewed picketing and warfare, had to be post-poned one day.

...course. The classic example is Attorney-General Cummings' campaign against gold hoarding. It was never intended to be anything but bluff--God willing. How far can the New Deal go? It does not know. Over at agriculture they are threatening about unreasonable bread prices. It is an advanture, this threat. Bread has been picked because it affords a popular ground for such a campaign. But if it comes to excessive prices for automobiles or ships? No one knews. How far dare the threat be carried? The popular frame of mind and the courts must be reckened with...
