...meet personally with A. F. of L.'s President William Green. His peace terms, said strong John Lewis would be: 1) reinstatement of suspended C. L O. unions; 2) A. F. of L. consent to the organization of U. S. mass-production workers in industrial unions. Since the fight was about nothing but the conflict of C. I. O. industrial unions with A. F. of L. craft unions, Leader Lewis thus proposed to A. F. of L. not compromise but complete surrender...
...Court after being convicted of permitting the use of relief funds for political purposes, who last year on his third trial of that charge got himself acquitted, who last summer lost in the Republican primaries to Governor Welford who led the more conservative element of the Non-Partisan League. Fighting an uphill fight, with Senator Gerald P.

"My College," he says, "had been the farm." As if to prove it, he still drives a plow through Nebraska state every summer...
...strenuous round of parties and to plan the next." Yale and Princeton are coyly described as "temptingly near New York," and Harvard men are accused of scattering, presumably on masse, over the entire country. Bryn Mawr, the cathedral of wholesomeness, has girded up its skipants and is carrying the fight to the enemy. The lure of the world, the flesh, and the devil is to be overcome by more pleasing campus activities: these apparently are to consist of a glittering program of "hikes, dances and teas in the halls, hobby club meetings, and plays and athletics...
