Following the lead of numerous universities, Wellesley College will raise tuition, room and board fees by about 8 per cent next year, John Hartley, vice president of finance and business affairs, said yesterday...
...take an 18-month time period," says Carlton Jones, manager of energy analysis at Pace Consultants & Engineers in Houston, "the increase is less than U.S. inflation and doesn't cover the dollar devaluation during that time period. The dollar has gone down more than the price increase." Fred Hartley, president of Union Oil in Los Angeles, declares: "It's our fault, not OPEC's.

Negotiators for the U.M.W. and coal operators initialed the new contract only eight days after the Carter Administration had obtained a temporary restraining order under the Taft-Hartley Act to get the striking miners back to work.

...practice Taft-Hartley has been neither as unworkable nor unfair as its opponents feared. Before last week's action, it had been invoked 34 times, and in all but five instances injunctions were issued. In five cases, the injunction prevented strikes, 14 disputes were settled during the cooling-off period, four disputes continued past the 80 days but without further work stoppages, and nine times strikes continued after the cooling-off period before a settlement was reached. According to Labor Department officials, only the United Mine Workers have ever defied Taft-Hartley injunctions. In 1948 a federal judge fined...
