...marble dais in the glass-&-silver banquet hall of Cincinnati's Hotel Netherland-Plaza last week. 322 delegates of the American Federation of Labor were gravely deliberating the course of their 2,532,261 membership, the course of the U. S. Workingman. On the third day of their 52nd annual convention, the delegates were briefly but thoroughly shocked. Rumblings of disorder came from an out side corridor. Backed by 25 struggling colleagues, an excited man named Louis Weinstock, member of the New York City Painters' Union, shoved his way to the banquet hall door. Thrusting away police...

After almost a week of pedaling around a steeply inclined pine-board track in Madison Square Garden last week, most of the riders in Manhattan's 52nd International Six Day Bicycle Race were from 5 to 15 Ib. heavier than when they started. They had not slept much-five hours per day, mostly between 5 a. m. and noon-but they had made up for it by eating huge quantities of beef, chicken and raw celery. The basement of Madison Square Garden is never more malodorous, even when populated by show dogs or poultry, than when its catacombs...
