INVESTIGATE CENSORSHIP OF

Q COLT NEARING has been fired
~ He is professor of sociology in the Whar-

He is to be dropped from The faculty because
he taught things with reference to- industrial rela-

of trustees feared TO have taught
He taught that the laborer is not getting
enough in the way of wages to keep him alive, and
provide for that deterioration which every work

suffer.
He believes and suggests in his writings that

and assured of THEIR upkeep.
