Job Is What Is Called a Sinecure in City Works
In Chicago a contractor named McArdle has pursued a long legal fight over a city job as chief material in the public works center. A circuit court decision favored him, with prior rulings in his favor through higher courts, though city officials continue to challenge. The saga dates back to 1908 when he claimed entry to the “eat ring crafters” and rose through various roles, with salary changes and job title shifts noted through 1910. The case has zigzagged through courts, ending with attempts to secure the position amid ongoing disputes and appeals.

Tempelhof, a long time figure in exile, faced renewed scrutiny as a bid to return to the United States stirred diplomatic action. After years abroad, including Argentina and other ports, he was twice thwarted by military and immigration objections, but a bid to resettle in the United States drew support from religious and civic figures urging state department intervention.

Canned Interviews Dodge Public Support for Hanting
Republican campaign managers struggle to rally enthusiasm for Senator Hanting and his platform. The Baltimore Sun reports headquarters distribute “canned interviews” to party editors, inserting local leaders’ notes to praise candidates while avoiding divergent local opinions.

Palestine army urged for Jewish homeland rebuilding
Bernard A Rosenblatt argues for a volunteer Jewish indust rial army in Palestine to reconstruct the Jewish homeland.
