...Conant's letter reinforces the contention of those who insist that the time has come to provide for new ways of selecting the members of the board of regents.

They have a tremendous stake in prestige and wage differentials, both of which will be lost if vertical unions are set up to include in one group all the workers in an industry. The remaining third of the A.F. of L. have united into the Committee for Industrial Organization under John L. Lewis, and at this moment are locked in a struggle with the steel companies, the first battle in their campaign to bring...
