Many thanks for your ad in TIME, May 2 for St. Petersburg's most remarkable rattan chairs, where it takes longer to die in these chairs and on our world-famous green benches than any others on earth. Many who came here to die-within 90 days-40 years ago are still waiting but not hoping. Your pappy, Father Time, is here but you wouldn't know him.

...Illinois coal fields, as a national rival of the United Mine Workers of America, key union in John L. Lewis' C.I.O. structure; authorized a radio invasion of John L. Lewis' membership via A.F. of L. Station WCFL, Chicago. As an oldtime United Mine Worker Mr. Green bitterly fought, bitterly despised the "dual" Progressives. Having been expelled by U.M.W., ex-Miner Green last week said A.F. of L. would support its new international to the utmost, did not say whether he himself would join...
