Taking their second victory of the season, the Harvard debating team gained a two to one decision over Dartmouth by successfully upholding the negative of the topic: "Resolved, That labor should have a share in industry." The Debating Council team was composed of Ray A. Goldberg '47, and Harry Eckstein '46, Eckstein being voted the outstanding speaker of the evening.
To gain material for their arguments, the team sent telegrams to labor leaders asking their opinion on the resolution. William Green, president of the A. F. of L., replied his organization opposed the idea because "the American Federation of Labor respects the rights of management in discharge of managerial duties." He favored setting up advisory boards to study management and labor problems.
The judges for the debate were Arthur P. Gardner, teaching fellow in German; James C. McNulty, teaching fellow in Economics; and Donald C. Williams, assistant professor of Philosophy.
