BANK EXPLAINS ITS RULING ON CHECKS AccountN of transients will be the only ones affected by the ruling of the Ann Arbor bank regarding the amount of each check, according to! Carl F. Braun, vice-president of the bank. In some cases where paynientj of a bill is made through the mail, Mr.* Braun stated that it would be all, right for the check to be under the specified amount; "A.ll that we want," said Mr. Braun, "is that the students should meet us halfway. We want to be.of service to the students and in order to ap- proach breaking even on the tran- sient deposits, it is necessary for us to ask them to write checks for moreI than $5. Such a system worked lastd year, and we believe that it will work I this y ear."

Gary, 'chairman of the United States Steel corporation inSrefusing to meet the st el strikers.j Other principles enunciated in the declaration of the employers in- clude: Acceptance of the right of strike or lockout, excepting in the case of gov- ernment employes; opposition to sym- -pathetic strikes and lockouts; insist- ence on the function of management in directing industry; emphasis .,of shop unions as proposed to the in- dustrial council proposed by organ- ized labor and declaration that co- operative action between capital and labor should be worked out in indi- The traditions that surround the "maize and blue" are deep in the I earts of Michigan men and tlis is appreciated by those selling pennants and banners of the unoflicial colors, but as they are only acting in ac- cordance with the student demand for the darker color it is the student sel- ection that will have to change if the proper colors are to be observed.
