...Control Bill (TIME, April 12), passed (75 to 3) a resolution that began by declaring the Sit-Down "illegal and contrary to sound public policy" and continued with three times as many words condemning employers who use industrial spies, deny collective bargaining, foster company unions, engage in any other unfair labor practices as defined in the Wagner Labor Relations Act. Sent it to the House...
...respects. A compulsory ten dollar athletic fee for all undergraduates, for instance, has been given much thought, and has been supported as a satisfactory method of getting all undergraduates to contribute to the upkeep of the athletic equipment. Objection to the proposal rests on the ground that it is unfair to tax a disinterested minority for opportunities which they do not want, but the most telling argument against the compulsory levy is the fact that the additional revenue that could be squeezed from the few people who now do not hold participation cards would make hardly a ripple...
...stated policy of the University not to let any younger man hold an position at Harvard for more than six or eight years or beyond the age of about 35 unless the man is definitely slated for a higher position, it being felt that it is unfair to the man to keep him here at a low salary when he might earn more at another university.

Less ambitiously, and in a more quizzical mood, Mr. G. M. Messing has composed another modernistic elegy, based on Jewish...
...cotton goods. In recent years the almost standard method of competition in foreign trade has been horse stealing-for exporters to steal as much of a foreign market as they could by underselling, for the victims to steal it back by imposing political quotas, tariffs and restrictions, fair or unfair. Dr. Murchison and friends in a mere ten days got the powerful Japan Cotton Spinner's Association to agree to steal no more of the U. S. market. The U. S. textile men promised to steal nothing back from the Japanese by political methods. Horse trading was substituted...
