Both sides must learn that the interest of the public at large is paramount and that the bargaining between capital and labor must scrupulously avoid putting a burden on the public too great for it to bear. Ex- cessive wages or excessive hours of work can be such a burden. Strikes which inter- fere with the public generally can be such a burden. Too high prices can be such a burden.

  • CORNELL CLUB, NYC By
    GREAT HANGER STEAK AND GREAT HANGERS TOO THE CORNELL CLUB, NYC by Lew Toulmin SUMMARY We stayed at the Cornell Club of New York for four nights in early August 2010. The Club is about 200 yards west of Grand Central Station in a very good location. The public rooms are relatively modest but the bedrooms are excellent and more reasonably priced than most NYC reciprocal clubs. Rates for a twin room were $220 per night in the low summer season (a negotiated rate), including breakfast, rising to $302 in the fall. CLUB HISTORY AND FACILITIES The Club was founded in 1889 and rented rooms at the Royalton Hotel for a time. Subsequently the Club moved five times around Manhattan, arriving at the current location in 1985. A three year renovation of the existing building was required. The Club is in a 14 storey building at 6 East 44th Street, about a short block west of Grand Central Station, between Madison Avenue and Fifth Avenue. (Unfortunately, this station does not offer train service to and from Washington, DC. The Station is a landmark in itself, with a fruit, veg and meat market, restaurants, shops, great architecture, regular tours and access to the subway.) The Club library is very modest, consisting of a couple of walls of books. There are five function rooms, with square footage totaling 3500 square feet. These rooms are all right but not gorgeous, and in fact the bedrooms are definitely nicer than the public rooms, the reverse of the usual club situation. Other Club facilities include a moderate sized gym, about 50 x 50 feet with free weights, stationery bicycles, exercise balls and treadmills.

  • Business of the Horseheads Creamery Company and the El-Cor Dairies of Today Was Inaugurated
    HISTORY OF CENTRAL NEW YORK 989 farming until about 1870, at which time he located at Horseheads. He remained at that place until 1893 and two years later estab lished a creamery business in Elmira at Grand Central Avenue and Division Street. For a time the creamery was known as the W. G. Atwater Company, and later as W. G. Atwater & Sons. After the death of the father the business was reorganized as Atwater Brothers. Until 1915 no sweet milk was sold by the At water concern, the creamery business consisting of butter, cheese and buttermilk. In 1915 Atwater Brothers bought out the local business of the Horseheads Creamery Company and the El-Cor Dairies of today was inaugurated. From the time the concern took up the sale of sweet milk the business increased by leaps and bounds. Willis Atwater was a Republican and a member of the Pres byterian Church. There were five children born to Willis and Catherine (Snyder) Atwater: 1. Frank D., who is treasurer of the El-Cor Dairies. 2. Snyder P., who is vice president of El-Cor Dairies. A sketch of him appears elsewhere in this history. 3. Duane, who died in 1893 while a medical student at Northwestern University. 4. Clara Vanderzee, who died in 1930, buried at Tru mansburg, New York. 5. Floyd A., the subject of this sketch. Floyd A. Atwater attended a district school at Horseheads and also was a student at Grade School No. 4, in Elmira. He spent two years at Elmira Free Academy but due to ill health was obliged to forsake a desire to take up the study of medicine at Cornell University.
