add to cart   close window

The article presents an overview of the November 19, 1930 issue of "The Nation." Grace Abbott, chief of the Children's Bureau, is being urged as a possible successor to James J. Davis as U.S. Secretary of Labor. It would be good to see a fraternal glad-hander and labor politician like the present Secretary succeeded by a person of Miss Abbott's quality, training, and experience. A native of the Middle West, long a resident of Hull House, Chicago, Illinois, with legal training and wide experience as secretary of the Immigrants' Protective League before entering government service, Miss Abbott has made a record of solid achievement during her thirteen years' work with the Children's Bureau.
