...most famous discovery of the late Percival Lowell '76--Planet Pluto--may not be a bona fide planet after all. Dr. Gerard P. Kuiper of the University of Chicago's Yerkes Observatory has declared to the scientific world that Pluto is not a planet, but instead only one of Neptune's satellites...

Instead, said Gerard, the union wants more in pay, holidays and vacations, or a plan under which the employee or his estate would get all that was left in his specific G.A.W. fund when he was fired, quit, retired or died.
