The US Supreme Court overturns Kansas’s law requiring compulsory arbitration of labor disputes before the Kansas Court of Industrial Relations, saying it violates liberty of contract and property rights. AFL president William Green applauds the decision, so maybe I’m not understanding what’s going on here.
German republicans spread a rumor that Hindenburg’s presidential campaign is bankrolled by former kaiser Wilhelm. Probably not true. Probably. In response, the monarchist right accuses republicans of taking “foreign bribes.”
Temporary automobile license plates issued by Florida to tourists are not being honored by Maryland, so tourists driving through the state on their way home are being soaked for temporary MD plates and are getting stuck in their cars overnight waiting for offices to open or, if they’re really pissed off, taking the train to their home state and coming back with a plate.
The film The Wizard of Oz is released, starring Dorothy Dwan as Dorothy and Oliver Hardy as the Tin Woodman and, evidently, a “trained duck.” It doesn’t sound like it resembles the 1939 movie at all. The NYT says it’s “the type of rough and tumble farce that sends bright faces from the theatre.”
