The following clipped from an ex-

It refers to an important decision on
the early closing movement being sus-
tanned by the courts:
It has always been supposed that an
agreement, such as that for early clos

broken at will and with impunity by
any one of them. This belief is un-
doubtedly responsible for many fall
ures to engage in an nearly closing
