that the professor did not go ro extensively into his attitude concerning union la labor or as it would have been heen highly interesting considering the position which he held in the past During DUling the last few fe years of hi lii incumbency as president of or Princeton the professors professor's addresses to graduating classes invariably included a few fe salient remarks concerning labor conditions He always referred to of labor unions as II unprofitable unprofitable able servants and declared they were made so by the policy of their leaders Ho He expressed himself as unalterably opposed to wage scales since they forced the more mor efficient to accept the same wages as ns the least efficient and declared that they tended constantly towards the minimum of effort and output
