...from being what its donor intended it to be, he says in reference to the Gray and Randall collections, that "the trustees of the art museum in Boston evidently have no idea of surrendering them; neither is there any inclination on the part of the Harvard authorities to demand them, nor has any provision been made in the Fogg Art Museum for their...
...based his argument on three assumptions, all of which were questionable. First, he assumed that combinations of employers had done harm to laborers, yet they had not at all. It was only through such combinations that great capitalistic projects could be realized. This large employment of capital made increased demand for labor. Second, he had assumed that association of employers can control wages. But if wages are anywhere, put higher than what exist elsewhere, prices must also rise, the sale of goods will fall off, and the result of these inflated wages will inevitably be to throw workmen...

The demand of labor organizations is not so much "you shall employ us, but "you shall employ only...

Neither have they been asked for on account of any feeling that the men were not competent, any more than when Captain Waters, of the football team last year, when re-elected, resigned in favor of Emmons, or when later Captain Cook, of the baseball nine, resigned, and Wiggin was elected. The present resignation of Fennessy may have been suggested for his own good. It is well known that a captain...
