...find itself in much the same position with regard to the strikers as do the owners now. The determination of the Union, shown at its meeting yesterday, not to be browbeaten by President Roosevelt's threat of force provides an indication of how labor all over the country will react to the presence of two battalions of infantry in the offing. If the Army takes over in Inglewood tomorrow the strike will be farther from solution than ever...

...never wrote a "masterpiece"-"the sentence was his unit"-but his theory of expression "was that on which Thoreau built, to which Whitman gave extension, and to which Hawthorne and Melville were indebted by being forced to react against its philosophical assumptions." Thoreau had Emerson's Nature solid underfoot to start his life on. In an analysis of Walden's quietly magnificent form, Teacher Matthiessen passes Thoreau on Coleridge's test of "the organic principle" -that form must arise out of the properties of the material-and names him one of the ancestors of modern functionalism...

...Appeals, and sire of Blair Clark, 1939-40 Crimson president, is the gentleman being back-patted. It seems that Federal Judge Clark has a quaintness-appeal. He is a two-fisted, raw-meat-eating, "trouble-shooting" bravadero; and at the same time a judge. This combination might ordinarily react like grapefruit and milk.
