DEEP SEA FISHING—

THROUGH THE gathering dusk of a Mediterranean twilight, the British cruiser Orion steered a tantalizing course just out of range of three Italian battleships, 11 cruisers and destroyers. It was as effective bait as any fisherman’s lure at the Sportsmen's show. In wait just over the horizon were three British capital ships and the aircraft carrier Formidable.

LABOR—

LABOR DIFFICULTIES in industries essential to national defense mounted to a new high during the week. Violence flared anew at the Allis-Chalmers plant in Milwaukee The Ford River Rouge plant, largest single industrial unit in the world, was blockaded and closed The nation's coal mines shut down: Developments were. 1. The Allis-Chalmers Manufacturing Co., reopened in compliance with Government request to resume production on $45,000.000 in defense orders, closed amid renewed fighting Governor Heil appealed for Federal troops to intervene 2. The United Automobile Workers (C. I. O.), demanding reinstatement, of discharged workers and union recognition, declared it was ready for a showdown with Ford. Harry Bennett, Ford personnel director, charged the strike was ‘“communist-in-spired.” The strike affected 85.000 men, tied up much of the $154,000,000 in defense orders. 3. The Government issued an order designed to freeze soft coal prices at the March 28 level, pending an agreement to resume production in the mines. Seven thousand Indiana miners observed the union “holiday.” 4 Union and non-union men clashed in “bloody Harlan” County, Ky., one pitched battle killing four and wounding five 5.

POLITICS—

INDIANA REPUBLICANS, answering Democratic attacks on their “decentralization” program, charged that the courts lack jurisdiction, but Circuit Court Judge Earl R. Cox granted a temporary injunction against enforcement of the new G. O. P. laws. Republicans retaliated by asking the Supreme Court to prohibit the judge from enforcing his injunction order. A hearing will be held the first of next week.
