Textile strike and NRA turmoil dominate labor news
Edward W. Pickard reports on the early labor strike, its contested effectiveness, and union versus industry tensions. The piece covers the Textile Workers led by Francie J. Gorman, estimates by George Sloan, New England sympathy actions, Communist activity, and federal boards' limited impact. It also notes the Retail Coal Code resignations, President Roosevelt’s wage orders defied by garment manufacturers, and Morgenthau's inflationary budget outlook.
