Switchmen's Union of North America (18,000). Boss of the Switchmen's Union, founded in 1906, is Neil P.

But the feds are always there, even on the golf course and on his dates with Steady Girl...
...hour a day business work, Hilton has surrounded himself with a team of crack operating people. In terms of authority, the No. 2 man in the Hilton chain is astute and ambitious Robert J. Caverly, 44, who watches over all operations. General Manager Curt Strand, 42, is the boss of the international division. Chicago Financier Henry Crown, who is worth $500 million himself and has interests in everything from General Dynamics to the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific Railroad, has been a close Hilton associate ever since he joined him in buying the Palmer House, is Hilton Hotel's second...
