- Abstract
The article presents news related to labor unions and college administration. The Labor Association of London has begun the issue of a monthly periodical, entitled "Labor Copartnership," the design of which is to record and promote co-operative production based on the copartnership of the workers. The monthly will contain notes and news of the movement, and will be welcome to all. Early in 1894 it was announced that professor Richard T. Ely, of the University of Wisconsin, was threatened with something like a trial for economic heresy. It appeared that O.E. Wells, State superintendent of Public Instruction and ex-officio a regent of the university, had charged Ely, in the columns of the journal "Nation," with encouraging strikes and practising boycotts. Before the investigation was opened, Wells wrote to the committee, complaining that in preparing for their work they were unduly limiting the field of inquiry; and after their first open meeting he withdrew from the proceeding, and addressed them in a second letter.
