Here's what happened on March 13, 1937:

• Steel Workers Organizing Committee Achieves Major Breakthrough In a landmark moment for labor relations, the Steel Workers Organizing Committee (SWOC), under the leadership of Philip Murray, successfully negotiated a collective bargaining agreement with United States Steel Company. This agreement was groundbreaking, as it established SWOC as the sole bargaining representative for U.S. Steel employees, significantly strengthening the union's position in the steel industry and marking a pivotal moment in American labor history.
• National Labor Relations Board Ruling Against Remington Rand The National Labor Relations Board issued a significant ruling in the Remington Rand labor dispute, finding the company guilty of unfair labor practices. The ruling exposed systematic efforts to undermine worker rights, including acts of deceit, economic warfare, and union suppression. The board ordered Remington Rand to reinstate all striking workers with full back pay and recognize the union. However, company owner James Rand, Jr. defied the ruling, leading to a prolonged labor conflict that highlighted the intense struggles between management and labor during the 1930s.
• Significant Tank Battle in Spanish Civil War Near Trijueque, a notable tank-vs.-tank engagement occurred during the Spanish Civil War, representing one of the few such encounters in the conflict. Republican T-26 tanks demonstrated superior combat effectiveness by destroying five Italian-made CV 3/35 tankettes and severely damaging two additional vehicles. This battle provided important insights into armored warfare tactics and equipment performance during the pre-World War II period.
• Joe Petrali Sets Motorcycling Land Speed Record American motorcyclist Joe Petrali achieved a remarkable feat by setting a new land speed record for motorcycles, reaching an impressive 136.183 miles per hour (219.165 km/h). This record would remain unbroken for over a decade, until September 13, 1948, demonstrating the extraordinary engineering and driving skills of the era.
