...truth--unlike the Roosevelt or the Hoover Administration--is eternal." Philosophically calm, thus concludes the communication, "Dissenting Zealots," published in yesterday's Mall columns.

Prior to the strike, onetime Governor Clement Calhoun Young had been assured Republican support by no less a faction than Herbert Hoover & friends. When big industrialists began to beseech Acting Governor Merriam to send troops into San Francisco, he replied that it would ruin him politically.
