Mukden Emerges as Center of New Chinese Industry
Canadian reporter David Lancashire spent six weeks in Mukden to document Manchuria’s industrial push. The dreary city, once Chinese, then Japanese, now houses 1,824 factories across Shenyang Province with 48 hour shifts and heavy production lines. The piece notes stark social sacrifice, with streets empty of gaiety and life centered on work, while cigarettes bear a cogwheel emblem.

State Court Upholds Sale of Pipeline
The Kansas Supreme Court ruled the Kansas Corporation Commission has no power to interfere in the sale of two pipelines by Sinclair Oil Pipeline Co. to Producers Pipeline Co. The sale, tied to lines serving eastern Franklin and Miami counties and between Eureka and Humboldt, was halted by an order and injunction. The ruling supports interstate-use arguments and keeps producers from challenging the transaction on regulatory grounds.
