...shutdown by a strike in Toledo's Chevrolet transmissions plant-a strike which forced the closing of 16 other General Motors plants-A. F. of L. again made peace without gaining its major point, a written contract with General Motors. *The argument: Depressions interfere with interstate commerce; depressions occur and are aggravated because workers have not enough purchasing power; workers lack purchasing power because they have not enough bargaining power to get high wages: the Wagner Hill will give it to them. Also: Strikes interfere with interstate commerce: some strikes result from refusal of employers to bargain with their...
...investigation shows that there have been some 60 cases among students, largely in Kirkland, Winthrop, and Lowell Houses, none of them of serious consequence. In absolving the Dining Halls, Dr. Anderson used as evidence the fact that the cases did not occur in an explosive epidemic, but on the contrary, progressed from one building to another over a period of several days. Apparently there is known no specific action which can be taken to limit or prevent the spread of such recurrences...
While all remnants of the suspected food were under the examination of the Massachusetts Department of Health, and of the Medical School, little hope was held for a definite verdict as to the cause. Apparently these sporadic epidemics occur in the best regulated restaurants: before the days of the House Plan, periodic breaks from the Square cafeterias were not infrequent, and although every effort is being made to solve the problem, it seems that little more can be done than is done at present to obviate future difficulties...

When the Princess tosses off a lilting melody in the music shop, or when she sails with the "casket brides" sent to bewive the men of New France, the effect is bright, colorful and joyfully inane. The damp scenes occur when things attempt to become serious. A Gilbert and Sullivan opus maintains a strain so consistently absurd that it is convincing; "Naughty Marietta" is only sporadically mad, and disturbs the audience by its sudden lapses into sanity. During the voyage to New Orleans, for instance, the cargo of maidens falls into...
...Council of Churches came out with a forthright protest to the President signed by 200 churchfolk, including some of the ablest bishops, pastors, religious editors, missionary leaders and pedagogs in the land. Rev. Harry Frederick Wrard, Union Theological Seminary professor, declared in a sermon that during the maneuvers might occur the "incident" that would bring on the Japanese war which, said he, the U. S. is courting. Finally, to the chorus which up to this week had elicited only polite acknowledgments in Washington was added the voice of Sherwood Eddy, able Y. M. C. A. man, author of many...
