Despite this trust, however, which stood out in strong contrast to the A. F. of L.'s antagonism toward employers, scarcely any of the workers chose not to be represented by a union. It is no longer fashionable to be at the mercy of even a benevolent employer. The University should be glad that its employee relations are once more in tune with the times; and undergraduates, the indirect employers, will have to learn at first hand that important economic lesson that efficiency, high standards, and contented employees cost money--and are worth...
...taxes to carry on his social reforms. Catholic members, loud in their demands for cuts in Government expenditures, promptly bolted M.

P. directors this week chose the middleaged, conservative publisher of the enormously wealthy, faintly stodgy Philadelphia Bulletin. To the 35,000,000 readers of A. P. dispatches, retiring, even-tempered Robert McLean's election will mean nothing. Like his predecessor, President McLean, steeped in A. P. tradition, will be inclined to go along with any changes proposed by A. P.'s General Manager and executive boss, crisp Kent Cooper. But few shifts in A. P. setup...
