Another was the enmity of the American Federation of Labor, with which John Lewis and his "rebel"' C. I. O. unions are now contesting for the mastery of U. S. Labor (TIME, Dec. 7 et ante).

Now almost a year old (TIME, March 16 et seq.), the E. P. C. announced that during January and February some 300 speakers, laymen and clergymen will talk for peace in 1,000 U. S. cities.

...everyone knows, George V once almost died of pneumonia and long suffered from bronchitis (TIME, Dec. 3, 1928 et seq.}. This experience magnified in his mind the dread which all Englishmen have of respiratory diseases, chief causes of disability in England...
