 Ratification of the agreement by a two-thirds vote of the union membership involved was made necessary by the pact but labor leaders immediately predicted the workers would approve it quickly and end the walkout that virtually paralyzed the set of commerce since May g.
 Points of Settlement
 The chief points of the settle- ment were as follows:
 Employers recognition of the union agreement on the clause for cooperative operation of the dis- puted hiring halls.
 Neutral attitude toward union and nonunion men.

INDICTED PROFESSORS

Directly or by implication, th' professors are indicted on severa counts:
 l. Radicalism, destructive of
 American institutions.
 2. Ignorance, leading to ex-
 periments which experience has
 shown worthless.
 3. Extravagance, involving
 reckless spending of public
 funds.
 4. Tyranny, directed at cur
 tailment of individual liberty,
 private initiative, freedom of
 speech.
 In spite of the dulcet phrases il which some of these accusation are wrapped, they strike deeply a what many believed. even befor the committee met in Chicago would be certain to form the cen tral theme of the campaign.
 Conceding his popularity, the Re publicans mostly are reluctant t attack the President; but they ar not pulling their punches at hi entourage.
 The Democrats will offer the vot CTS MT. Roosevelt. The Republican will counter by saying that how ever right he may be, he is in bat company. That seems to be tn strategy.
