lions and the rooms were both artis-
tic and home like Indeed there is
very little about Oak Grove that
savors of the proverbial institution.
Immediately after dinner the stu
dents enjoyed the customary open
house when they could inspect every
room. First the girls and women OF
the faculty took their places in the
large corridors near their rooms and
received all the guests from the other
side Of the house. After the boys had
seen what attractive rooms the girls
could arrange, they withdrew to the
North Wing and the girls and women
Of the faculty inspected the boys
rooms. There Is considerable rivalry
in the matter of attractive rooms and
each side Of the house gained new
ideas from the other. Promptly at
seven-thirty the faculty and students
assembled in the reception halls
down stairs to receive the guests
who were arriving. At this time
each old student was responsible for
the new ones and happy introduce
tons were in order. At eight-thirty
the guests gathered In the assembly

1t was not organized primarily to
drive the L. W. w. out of the lumber

in that direction. 1t was created for an
affirmative purpose. namely, the main

which means Il square deal to the worker

The conference committees locally have
on many occasions developed impromptu

obtained valuable hints from these con-
ferences. Difficulties that would ordi-

because they have been treated at the

Radicalism, talk of direct action and

to hold the nation. at its mercy, reached
its crest with the effort to bring about
a general strike in February, 1919. 1t
may not have seemed the climax then
but events since prove conclusively that
the turning point came at that time
For the move nearly disrupted the labor
movement here.
Many of the so-called paper" unions,
embracing nearly every class of employee
from Office boys to janitors, have disap-
pe;tred. Displeased with the tactics of
their radical brethren, thousands of
workers in the trades who own their
own homes. and prefer orderly methods
of collective bargaining ceased paying
dues and dropped out. The membership
in the unions was materially reduced
Gradually since 1919 the conservatives
have gotten the upper hand. and while
