F. of L., C.I.O., the left wing of the Liberty League, and Wipers, Oilers, and Tenders Seamen's Union in sponsoring the model movement. The particular function of the women's auxiliary model Court has not been clearly defined as yet, but as Casper, in an exclusive interview at the Ritz Bar, said last night, "Our Plans are young yet; what we want is time to work out the broad general principles of this thing...
