...Memphis last week Rt. Rev. James Matthew Maxon, Episcopal bishop of Tennessee, sat up in the sickbed where he had lain for 18 days ailing of influenza, and for the first time learned some-thing that all the rest of his diocese knew. Very Rev. Israel Harding Noe, dean of St. Mary's Cathedral in Memphis, was entering the third week of a fast which he hoped would prove that "the soul is above the need of material life" (TIME...
...Three"-with John Lewis of the United Mine Workers and Sidney Hillman of the Amalgamated Clothing Workers. In practice there has been only a "Big Two.'' Suspicious of Mr. Dubinsky's continued friendliness with William Green and Matthew Woll of A. F. of L., Messrs. Lewis & Hillman simply ignored his counsel. Pushed in opposite directions by factions in his own union, torn between his high faith in the C. I. O. cause and his personal loyalty to A. F. of L. (he was the first Jew on the A.

While Steichen was thus occupied, a younger generation of photographers had come along who believed that when Steichen turned his back on painting he had not turned far enough. They saw the camera as essentially a documenter of physical reality.

Labor opened its mouth first when Matthew Woll, vice-president of the A. F. of L., said that most trade union leaders thought the government had gone too far in regulating industry. The U. A. W., an affiliate of the C. I. O., declared that the solution to the present business recession was to increase the purchasing...
Adolf Hitler smashed the German trade unions affiliated with Iftu. At an Iftu meeting in Warsaw last summer Matthew Woll promised that the American Federation of Labor would join with its 3,400,000 members. But last week in Moscow the backing of almost 5,000,000 French trade unionists made Leon Jouhaux much the most prominent foreigner at what may prove Iftu's greatest congress. Technically, the headquarters of Iftu are in Amsterdam-it is often called the Amsterdam International-and Iftu's General Secretary Shevenels brought from Amsterdam last week the papers inviting...
