...leaders of the American Federation of Labor are no hotheads. Last week at their convention in Tampa they resolved against "Communism, Fascism and Naziism" but refused to express sympathy for Spain's embattled workers.

O. leaders in Washington. There John L. Lewis had around him some of the shrewdest of Labor's brains. Among them is Sidney Hillman, head of the Amalgamated Clothing Workers. Among them also is David Dubinsky, whose enthusiasm for the C. I. O. fist is dampened somewhat by the fact that it is popularly identified more with the arm of Lewis than that of Dubinsky...
