How to Use this Index





Every article appearing in Business Week during
the first six months of 1957 is comprehensively
indexed in this volume. Alli articles are indexed
alphabetically by subject and by the names of
individuals, private businesses and government
agencies in all cases where such were either the
subject of the story reported or had a primary
relationship to the topic covered. The following
paragraphs are offered as a guide to the index.


Business Organizations. Industries are in-
dexed under their simple designations such as:
“Aviation,” ‘Shipbuilding,"’ “Textiles,” etc. In
addition, all articles having reference to a pri-
vate company, will be found under that com-
pany's name,


Labor. General labor news is indexed under
such broad headings as “Wages,” ‘“Employ-
ment,” ‘‘Labor,"’ and the like. Reference should
also be made to the various government labor
agencies and to individual companies. Because
the full names of many trade unions are not
generally well known, trade union items are
indexed by parent organization, under “AFL-
ClO,"" or “Independent Unions,’ and then in
turn under subheads by the trade or industry in


which they operate. There is one exception: the
railroad brotherhoods are indexed only under
*‘Railroads—tabor.”


Government. The permanently established
departments of the Federal Government will be
found under “'D,"’ “Department of the Trea-
sury,"' “Department of Defense,” and ‘Post
Office Department.” ’


Independent Commissions and Special
Emergency Agencies. These will be found ar-
ranged alphabetically by their established
names. In addition, they are also indexed un-
der their field of activity.


Reference Dept. Many individual headings
suggest other entries (See also . . .) which may
be consulted in looking for specific articles. If,
however, you cannot find a specific article, or
you would like any general information about
material which Business Week has published, do
not hesitate to make direct inquiry by mail or
telephone to Business Week Library, 330 West
42nd Street, New York 36, N. Y.; telephone
