...story never broke. Mr. Lewis was the first to emerge, snapping, "General conversations-no conclusions. We are in recess until 4 o'clock." Said Mr. Green a few minutes later: "We held a satisfactory and most interesting conference, but arrived at no conclusion. We will go back into session at 4 o'clock." After the 4 o'clock session Mr. Lewis rumbled: "Same story as at noon." And this statement was seconded by Mr. Green. Both studiously avoided arriving or departing together...
...what is to become of C. I. O. Mr. Lewis wants all C. I. O. unions admitted to A. F. of L., settling the jurisdictional questions after they are in. With nearly 4,000,000 members, C. I. O. would then of course dominate A. F. of L. Mr. Green, who realizes this all too well, is willing to take back the twelve suspended C. I. O. unions but wants the dual unionism created by the new C.

Last year Pullman Co. built two experimental sleepers, named them Progress and Advance (renamed California and Bear Flag), loaned them to various railroads in the East and West for tryouts. Progress was a crack modern observation car; Advance a de luxe double-decker with nine rooms "down stairs" and seven on the upper level reached by individual stairs. This spring another experimental car, the Roomette, was submitted...
...literature, art and tobacco. A dinner jacket suit, from which the painter has removed himself, sits upright in a chair beside a small round table, on which there are a signet ring, a pipe and a leather-bound book. Behind the chair, where the room's blue-green walls meet, stand three polo mallets; near them hangs the painting of an Italianate nude...
