They set up a jointly-owned corporation, News Printing, Inc., to operate a regular, composing room under an l "open shop" in which both non union and union workers may be hired. " The board found that union charges, of the publishers not bargaining in good faith could not be upheld because of the union's failure to do so on its own part and that as the strike was over wages rather than union recognition or some other issue settled by the Wagner Act, the employers were "clearly entitled to replace the economic strikers" and draft conditions of employment for replacements.

Before we had our Xmas vaca tion, we had a program wherein our members of our local council gave us patrol asst., patrol, troop and asst. troop leaders something to remember them by. Every one of us gave our share and we surely enjoyed it. Christmas holidays are almost over, but permit me to extend "Merry Christmas and a Happy and Prosperous New Year" to you and all Girl Scouts of Sullivan. Several girl scouts read your letter and they hope that in, the future, we Filipino girls will be able to enjoy in such a beautiful camp site and have the things you are at present enjoying. Gee, we surely envy you. I will be sending the lapels but I can't send you a pair now as it will be only a very small package, liable to be lost somewhere, but I'll be sending you, don't you worry, madam. We are always dreaming of a day in the future when we too can see the U.S.A. If there's life there's hope, they say, so I won't lose hope yet.
