The article outlines Germany's intertwined political and economic crisis with rising unemployment, widespread hunger beyond industrial sectors, and a collapse of the mark. Chancellor Cuno's rescue plan failed, resignation followed, and Gustave Stresemann formed Germany's first coalition, attempting to stabilize finances with the rentenmark backed by national resources. Royalist support and unrest persisted.

Labor Strife and Wage Shifts Mark Year in Industry
A turbulent year in the United States saw a brief coal strike in August after failed wage talks, government mediation led by Governor Pinchot, and a September resumption of mining work. Rail labor saw periodic wage adjustments, steel and Chicago packing house workers gained raises, and Elbert Gary announced steel’s end to the twelve hour day. The AFL, in Portland, rejected a political labor party and Soviet recognition, with Gompers acclaimed in a resounding re election.
