Major concern of last year's convention in Cleveland was William Green's charge that A, F. of T. was riddled with Communism. Major concern of last week's 500 delegates was William Green's charge that Miner John L. Lewis' Committee for Industrial Organization is trying to split...
...Yale Professor Jerome Davis: "The A. F. of L. should never have suspended [Lewis' Committee for Industrial Organization] without putting the question to the whole membership. . . ."

With the siege at its hottest, the Colonel abandoned the usual tactic of trying to defend a central stronghold, distributed...
Last week busy Dr. Miner declared he would work his new American Dental Association duties into his already full life somehow. A. D. A. presidents are expected to do a lot of traveling to keep in touch with the 48 state dental societies and to keep the member's noses glued to dental ideals. Said Dr. Miner: "I hope to break Percy Howe's record when he was president,* of having traveled less than any other A. D. A. president...
