...COMMUNISTS ON EMORY UNIVERSITY FACULTY AND NONE IN STUDENT BODY. SO FAR AS WE CAN DISCOVER WE ARE CONVINCED THAT YAGOL, WHO IS A PHI BETA KAPPA AND A MAN OF HIGH IDEALS, IS BEING PERSECUTED BY PERSONS WHO SEEK TO TURN CURRENT ANTI-RED HYSTERIA TO THEIR OWN PROFIT. HEARSTLING JACOBS' HOSTILITY TOWARD EMORY IS EASILY EXPLAINED BY FACT THAT EMORY REFUSES TO ACCEPT OGLETHORPE'S CREDIT BECAUSE THAT INSTITUTION IS NOT ACCREDITED EITHER BY SOUTHERN ASSOCIATION OF COLLEGES OR ASSOCIATION OF AMERICAN UNIVERSITIES...
Final upset of the President's plans was assisted by the resurgency of conviction in the U. S. Senate, but it was completed by Senators who cut their cloth not according to principle but according to political profit. Several men of principle tried to save the President from defeat. Senator Byrd's opinion of spending five billions is pale beside that of Carter Glass, but, rather than see the prevailing wage amendment adopted, Senator Glass manfully fought the President's battle. He read the Senate a letter from the President, solemnly assured his colleagues that...
Explained Private Secretary Johnson: "Mr. R. B. Mellon said he did not want to profit at the expense of his brother's children on a transaction which had been one purely of accommodation for his brother, who had taken a public trust." In 1929 Secretary Mellon assured the Senate Judiciary Committee that he had "sold every share of stock" in any bank before taking office.

...MacNaughton's achievement was to mine at a profit 3,000,000 tons annually of low-grade ore, averaging less than 1% copper, from the deepest mine in North America, the famed Conglomerate shaft which has passed a vertical depth of 5,000 ft. Such lean ore had never before been mined so far down. In open-pit mining, which means simply shoveling away a hill of exposed ore (as at Bingham, Utah), lodes down to 8/10 of 1% can be handled profitably. Deep-vein mining entails the cost of tunneling, drilling, blasting, hoisting, ventilating. Mining engineers consider...
Mesta makes money as well as machines. Its peak was 1930 when it reported a profit of $2,500,000. More notable, it continued to make profits throughout Depression, touching a low of $327,000 in 1932. Mesta has yet to report for 1934 but in the first half it made $400,000. And in the last half it boosted its dividend, paid a 66% stock dividend and retired $1,000,000 of preferred stock...
