Some 350,000 people, including 100,000 over Labor Day weekend, visited the State Park in Watkins Glen, N. Y. to gape across a deep, narrow gorge at the buck deer with horns in velvet which, presumably chased by dogs and injured on the flank, had become marooned on a rocky ledge (TIME, Sept. 4 & 11). No end of elaborate wiles and artifices, including stuffed deer, an Indian chief, a plank bridge, were brought into play to lure the animal from its prison, all to no avail.

...strike had not been 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.

To prevent a recurrence of the Pennsylvania coal troubles elsewhere NRA appealed to the country for a moratorium on strikes...

Swarms of sand flies and mosquitoes penetrated President Roosevelt's cabin as he sailed down the Potomac in the U. S. S. Sequoia last weekend. The pesky insects annoyed the President almost as much as the knowledge that U. S. Industry was lagging behind his recovery program (see p. 12). To plan ways & means of curbing downright refusal by Industry to cooperate with the Government, should such a situation arise, the President had taken along Attorney General Cummings. What, if any, legal tactics were decided upon remained beneath their respective hats. But the President spared no praise in congratulating...
