FOSS HALL NOTES

A Joint meeting of the Y. w. G. A.
and Y. NJ. c. A. was held at the
chapel Tuesday evening. The meet
ing was presided over by Mr. Albert
Pencock. Professor Newman offered
prayer. The speaker of the evening
was Mr.. Ray LeGote, who has been
for the last four years a representa-
tive of Student Friendship fund in
Europe. He gave a very interesting
account of what our money and
friendship was doing for foreign stu
dents. Some of the things accom-
plished by this fund. 1t has been
the means of teaching the students to
feed themselves. to print their own
books. to earn money by working. 1t
| has been the law of the universities
in Europe to prohibit any student
from working to earn money, by in
fiuence of our representatives that
law has been repealed in many of the
universities so that students can now
| work and be allowed to remain at
the universities. This was of great
importance as there were few after
the war who could afford to go to
college without working.
Mr.. IeGote said that this friend
ship among students was the be-
ginning of a new and better social
order based on love for humanity.

Marketing Of Eggs
Discussed at Meeting
Poultry Producers

A spirited session of the State
POULTRY Producers Association was
held at the council rooms of the City
building Wednesday afternoon. The
question was in regard to the methods
of marketing eggs, including grading
and markets in which they are sold.
Those present from the association
were President A. NJ Sterling of Kit
terry and General Manager NJ. f. Rick
er of Portland. Fred Merrill of Garli-
ner was the presiding officer at the
meeting, which was entirely informal.
The matter was argued for some time
and at several points the discussion
became rather heated. 1t seemed to be
The sentiment of the meeting that the
association should either establish
new markets or change the present
basis of selling so as to make better
returns to the members. 1t was voted
that the management should continue
for three months, and if dissatsfac-
tiOn be expressed at the end of that
period a general meeting should be
held.

Move for Quicker
Dealing with Unions

New \ ork, Apr. IA definite
move to simplify and speed up ne
gotiations with labor unions was
approved by the American Newspa
! per Publishers Association at its
,@th annual convention which open
ed here today.
The GOO delegates from all parts
of the country voted a change in
| procedure in this regard as recon-
mended by President S. +. Thomas
on, which took the negotiations of
labor contracts out of the hands of
the convention as a whole, and placed
it back in the hands of the board of
directors.
Actual ratification OF such con-
tracts remains, as before. with the
association membership.
President Thomason pointed out
that heretofore, with conventions
held annually, contract-negotiating
groups waited q year before they Sc
cure instruction or approval in the
various stages of their work.
Under today'S enactment, such
groups will get action in one sixth
the time, the board of directors to
whom they are made ansWerable
holding meeting every two months.

that negotiations with unions had
virtually reached an impasse be-
cause of present hindrances his re-
form has aimed to remove.
Reports of q dozen committees
We're heard and accepted ny the
convention during the day. Various
reports called for important new
steps which will be discussed at
greater length during the remain
ing two days in which the conven-
ton will be in session.
The radio committee stressed the
Importance of printing radio broad
casting programs in newspapers.
This was distinctly news. it said, be-
cause radio fans as class We're

Broadcasting of news events was
construed as more apt to help than

Broadcast advertising had reached
such proportions that one Chicago
