In 1911, the Waseda University baseball team from Japan won against a team from the University of Pennsylvania with a score of 11 to 8. In 1925, William Jennings Bryan expressed concern over the impact of the Scopes trial on teachers, asserting that the influence of personal teacher views on education was harmful. He believed that the current system best protected teacher welfare by leaving control of the curriculum to employers. In 1946, New York truck operators maintained a contractual clause demanding local drivers be used for in-city trucking, citing higher pay as a reason.
William Jennings Bryan believes that John T. Scopes, defendant in the evolution trial, 'is doing more harm to the teachers of the country than to any other class.' This harm, he declared today, would be 'indefinitely increased if his (Scopes') views as to the independence of the teacher were established.' Bryan expressed the belief that the welfare of teachers is best preserved under the 'present system.' Under this system, he said, personal views of the teachers are left free, and the control of what is to be taught is left to those who employ the teachers.
Long-distance truck operators will not seek elimination of their union contract clause requiring trucks coming into New York to be driven by New York drivers, working generally on a higher pay than those out of town, according to Joseph M. Adelizzi, managing director of the Motor Carrier Association of New York. This decision reflects a commitment to maintaining established labor standards within the industry.
