Phillips Brooks House has started a drive to enroll students as settlement workers to aid in its annual program, it was announced yesterday. In explanation of the work, James M. Estabrook '34, chairman of the committee, has issued the following statement...

For into them was to go the Retail Code's key clause-or the principle it laid down -on price-cutting.
