Emergency v. Emergency. At Welch, W. Va., a sawmill operator named Killem worked his employes more than 40 hr. a week, paid some of 'them less than the 28.5¢ minimum hourly wage required by the Lumber & Timber Products Code. The McDowell County prosecutor went to Circuit Judge Beno F. Howard, asked for an injunction against Miller Killem under the State NRA enforcement law. Judge Howard must have remembered the motto of West Virginia, Montani Semper Liberi (Mountaineers Always Freemen), when he handed down his decision. Maintaining that it was "not the purpose of this decision to interfere with...
...months of life NRA's executive structure had been monolithic, with Hugh Samuel Johnson as the bottom, top and sides. The structure of NRA's administration was now changed to a pyramid. Broad base was a seven-man board which would carry on the routine duties of code administration. No sooner had these seven members been appointed than statisticians found that four were lawyers, five were in Who's Who, three were economists, two had Phi Beta Kappa keys, two had been bankers, two were tycoons. The oldest was 55, the youngest 28. Most of the members...
...first statement since the end of the strike. He and his cohorts were willing to "cooperate" with the new Board.

But Afghanistan, the nation, is a far more decorous member of the League of Nations than it would have been even five years ago. There are schools in Afghanistan today, and a national university. Credit for its gradual civilization must go to three kings: 1) the chuckleheaded Amanullah, who built racetracks, Roman arches, cinemas, and tried to force his outraged subjects into trousers until they rose up and chased him from...
...days a quaint Victorian ring, there is possibly a question of courtesy as well as of competence. Professors do not as a rule refer publicly to CRIMSON editors or other students by name as slovenly and illiterate, whatever their opinion. Their restraint in such matters is inherent in the code of equality and polite intercourse that has superseded the older pedagogical autocracy. If undergraduates appreciate this newer spirit of fraternity and informality there is an obligation to reciprocate. But perhaps they would find such a course dull and uninteresting. --Harvard Alumni Bulletin...
