...Daily Sketch: AT LAST IT'S OVER. READ ALL ABOUT IT. After 26 days, London's newspaper strike was settled. Queueing up at the stands, news-hungry Londoners snapped up papers so fast that the extra-heavy press runs could not keep up with the demand. Since the strike caused some 50 million readers to miss three of the most exciting events in recent British history, i.e., the change of Prime Ministers, the announcement of a general election, a cut in income taxes, the Times and Daily Telegraph put out brief supplements to tell Londoners what they...
...E.T.U.-A.E.U. did not strike London's Communist Daily Worker, which does not belong to the Proprietors' Association. The paper said that it would meet the E.T.U.-A.E.U. demand.

Even as these reports were being issued, metal prices began to sag a bit. Steel scrap, critically short a few weeks ago, fell $2 a ton, and scrap copper declined...
...book should have it for a longer period than the casual undergraduate. It would also be unfair to expect faculty members to be subject to the same regulations as students, renewing their books every two weeks. But there should be some time limit on a book which is in demand--no matter who needs it. Those faculty members to fail to comply should be subject to regular library fines...
