Labor Day origins and postwar labor issues discussed
The piece traces Labor Day's 1880s origins with Peter J. McGuire and the Knights of Labor, notes marching precedents, and contrasts 1882 aims for an eight hour day with modern union goals. It then debates Korea peace terms with Japan, U.S. bases, and Soviet positions, before shifting to local items on Bean Queen, Philadelphia Phillies, potato economics, Tex Ritter nostalgia, Baytown politics, and a Galveston rate hike warning.

Review of the sweeping fight over wartime controls in Congress
A sprawling analysis shows the battle over wartime economic controls widening beyond Congress into the Munitions Board. It highlights steel allocations for tanks, the Iron and Steel Advisory Committee, and the conflict between President Truman and lawmakers over power to direct key materials. The report details the stalled Army requests, the closed door hearing with Gen Decker, and the political maneuvering around the Johnson amendment. It also notes rival lobbying by U S Steel and others seeking to keep control with Commerce Secretary Sawyer, while the President vows to veto if the Johnson provision stands.
