Bustling up to Moscow last week went famed Leon Jouhaux, the portly "Tsar of French trade unionism." During last year's active "New Deal" period in France, pot-bellied Tsar Jouhaux was a hero to millions of workers who credited him with browbeating the Cabinet of Socialist Leon Blum into decreeing nationwide shorter hours, vacations with pay.

In Buffalo, on the night of Sept. 6, 1901, Vallely was called from his office to the Temple of Music where President McKinley had just been shot. He found a furious mob trying to get at Assassin Leon Czolgosz, who had been seized and put in a back room. Vallely ordered a patrol wagon sent to the building's back entrance.
