Leader Lewis' United Mine Workers and the nine other industrial unions then composing C. I. O. were suspended from A. F. of L. by its Executive Council last summer (TIME, Aug. 17). Since then the future course of the U. S. labor movement has hung in a suspense which was expected to be resolved at Tampa.

Strange to relate, TIME erred again. In your issue of Oct. 23 in re Surgeon General Parran's crusade against Syphilis you state that neither National or Columbia will allow the word to be used over their networks. On Aug. 25 on invitation I talked before the Montreal Rotary Club for 30 minutes about Syphilis, using the word several times. The Rotary Club received many comments from radio listeners both in U.
