Editorial Paragraphs
June 5, 1929 issue

add to cart   close window

The article focuses on various political and social developments taking place in the United States. By a vote of 206 to 24 the Republican organization in the House of Representatives bound itself on May 23 to vote on the tariff-revision bill five days later. The Southern textile strikes have ended, and the only strikers who emerge with a substantial victory are the unorganized workers of the Brandon cotton mills in South Carolina. Justice and decency are a dangerous ferment to set at work in an industry long since given over to a regime of sodden repression.
