Impressed by this large-scale demonstration of his power was Secretary-General Vicente Lombardo Toledano of the year-old CTM (Confederation of Mexican Workers), a hot-eyed little industrial unionist who likes to be compared with John L. Lewis. CTM's Toledano was one big step ahead of CIO's Lewis in that the employers had voluntarily formed a syndicate to bargain collectively under Mexico's 1931 Labor Law. Negotiations were stalled when the employers stuck flatly at the Oil Workers' demands: a 40-hour week instead of 44, a boost in minimum wages from roughly...

...Coshocton's most famed son. He impudently ordered William Green to show cause why he should not be expelled from the U. M. W. (TIME, Nov. 22). Realizing that under union rules they could try Billy Green if John L. Lewis pressed his expulsion order, the Morgan Run unionists became more interested in their local than they had been for years. They would show Lewis how they regarded Billy Green. But John Lewis withheld his expulsion order. Last week Gravedigger Mobley could wait no longer.

Skeptical friends of Instructors Walsh and Sweezy thought differently. Walsh, a baldish, handsome nephew...

Thus did John L. Lewis twice last week obey the instinct of years, refuse to violate that unionist taboo which forbids a union man to compromise himself even in the smallest way where a strike is concerned. In his larger relations with rival A. F. of L., however, last week Labor's Lewis smashed tradition in a big, ruthless...

...many a philatelist can (and probably will) inform you, the violet-brown likeness of the acrid old Unionist who marched through Georgia adorned the 8? stamp of the regular issue throughout the decade 1894-1904. That 40 years back Sherman was thus licked by innumerable Southerners (without poisonous effect) and that his likeness underwent besmirchment at the hands of many a Southern postmaster makes the present sputtering of legislative bodies in South Carolina and Georgia seem pointless indeed...
