...idle theorists can hope for such a graceful subject of theorizing as Mr. Gleason has proven in last Friday's CRIMSON, Answering Mr. Fleming's article on labels, he appropriately steps forward, crowns his opponent with a sort of gigantic preserve-jar label "radical," and thereby pickles him for life, shelving him where no unwitting undergraduate lover of the constitution can be in danger of his phizzing over again...
...Mr. Gleason speaks as "we conservatives who still cling to the principles of the constitution." The insinuation is perfect. Radicals do not uphold the constitution. Note that Mr. Gleason does not say it openly; he says it by innuendo, if Mr. Gleason is one of that kind of thinkers who class all radicals as revolutionary, and, therefore, below contempt, "radical outbursts" being something to discredit and suppress as dangerous to our constitution, he is one of those gentlemen who sit on the safety valve of social unrest and compress the steam of "radicalism" into real revolution.

...extremes such boycotts could be carried. But instead of concentrating its forces on this one great fight, we see capital make still more remote any possibility of amicable compromise by quibbling over the rights of recognition and unionization, neither of which are intrinsically wrong or of relatively great importance. Mr. Gary refuses to treat on questions of labor conditions in his factories with anyone not directly concerned with them. He says he will talk with his own laborers but with no one else. But the laborers but with no one else. But the laboring men argue that none of them...
