...case for sit-downers, as opposed to the Sit-Down, was stated most eloquently last week by Senator William E. Borah. Joining those observers who viewed the sit-down epidemic not as a disease but as a symptom, Senator Borah, who blames most economic evils on monopoly, declaimed: "As I look at it, they [the strikers] are fighting for what they deem to be their rights in an economic system which is dominated ... by lawlessness and largely by reason of the fact that the Government does not enforce the law. . . .

Senator Borah, catching sight of them, remarked, "That reminds me of the Roman Emperor who looked around his dinner table and began to laugh when he thought how many of those heads would be rolling on the morrow." It was not a pood simile, for it appeared last week that even if they should be proscribed, the members of the Supreme Court intended to keep their heads...
