James ("Jimmy") Hoffa, vice president of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, will speak to an economics seminar next Wednesday, it was learned last night. Hoffa will address a meeting of Economics 284 on Collective Bargaining in the Over-the-Road Transportation Industry at 4:00 in Littauer Lounge.
