Steel is the great, historic U. S. industry that Labor has never been able to organize. For the past eight months two factions within the American Federation of Labor-President William Green's conservative craft unionists and United Mine Worker John Llewellyn Lewis' progressive industrial unionists-have been at deadlock over the question of Labor's future form of organization, and Labor's future leadership. It was agreed that the man who maneuvered himself into position for the first dash over Steel's frontier would have a heavy advantage over his opponent, the chance...
...last Janu ary the first of two orders commanding C. I. O. to disband. Miner Lewis impudently replied in March by offering to put up $500,000 if the A. F. of L. would put up $1,000,000 more to organize Steel along industrial lines. In effect, President Green agreed if Amalgamated would re spect craft organization.

Last week, after hundreds of careful time measurements between Paris, Green wich and the U.

Other days they go by way of the polar regions, where the strong magnetic field slows them down. As to why the same signal should stray one way one day and another the next...
...green Berkshire Hills of Massachusetts nestle a knot of towns-Lenox, Lee, Stockbridge, Great Barrington- whose natives are hardheaded Yankees, whose summer colonists are sedate, aristocratic New Englanders and Manhattanites. Two of the swankest, most comfortable hotels in the neighborhood are Heaton Hall and the Red Lion Inn at Stockbridge, both owned by Massachusetts' benign, broad-beamed Republican Representative Allen Towner Treadway. Manager of the Red Lion Inn is the Congressman's Yale-educated son, Heaton Ives Treadway, who in the winter runs hotels in Pinehurst, N. C. and Florida...
