If the Republicans want to browse near by during a convention break, they will have to settle for Farm World, a shop specializing in serums, wormers and insecticides, or the Kansas City Vaccine Co., which sells animal vaccines and veterinarians' instruments.

At 14, Victor Feather filled flour sacks in a grocery co-op to help support his family; at 15, he joined the shop assistants union and at 29 he became a TUC organizer in London. During his 37 years on the staff, Feather led some of the TUC's toughest negotiations.
