Maurer's talk was preceded by a
description of conditions in the
Hocking valley coal district in Ohio
by Samuel Romer, '33, and Wilfred
Sellars, '33, who spent the spring
recess there.

stated that he believed their un-
derlying causes lay in the general
economic and social system of the
United States. He illustrated his
argument by describing the manner
in 'which capitalists in the larger
metropolitan districts are able to
invest money in far-removed com-
munities that they have perhaps
