Lewis, | head of the Committee of Industrial Organization, and William Green, President of the American Fed- | eration of Labor—as they take up the task of trying to unite their respective labor factions Contrary to the generally advanced that there is bitter personal enmity between the two men, it is probable that Lewis will call Green “Bill” and Green, in turn, will call Lewis “John.” They've known each other since both were on the working end A'bit unusual in view of the two labor viewpoints, both have risen to labor leader- ship from the ranks of the miners. Both, it is as- sumed, hold their cards#h the United Mine Workers of America with which both have been affil-} iated. { So “John" and “Bill” ‘are sitting down together today to try and bring peace to labor turmoil and split ranks. Again contrary to the impression one gets from reading the tirades the respective forces hurl at one another, we- can’t imagine men of more than a quarter century acquaintance glaring at each other across the table while a couple of associates hop- impression of a mucker’s shovel long ing for the best and fearing the worse look on. Rather, we picture Green saying, “here, John, have a cigar,” and the latter accepting with, “thanks, I suppose some politician gave it to you to try and swing Detroit into line” And then Lewis handing Green one of his smudgers with the remark, “here, have a good one, the boys up in New York report the LaGuardia camp was handing out this kind; they should be a pretty. potent smoke. Then we can picture the two miners lighting up nd?¥ getting their feet resting compertably one she table. Green posfibly will make the first overfure with a remark something like this “Well, John, we've gone quite a ways since you and T started out to be labor-leader? together and it begins to look like the ho; would like to have us join forces again. v Says Lewi “Yeh, Bill, we sure used to knock ‘em over in those days, but, you know, since I started this CIO business I've built up quite.a sizeable or- ganization with considerable political strength, and you know, Bill, a man has:to look to his future. Wasn't it Time magazine that mentioned me as a possible presidential candidate?” Replies Green: “John, you still can't get over those grand ideas of yours, but I'm not the one to stand in the way of a man who has political ambitions. Matter of fact, I might not turn down a little cabinet job myself, if you think you can swing it.” Lewis: “I knew I could depend on you, Bill, but what about the boys? .If we get anywhere, your lads and mine will have to work together, and, just be- tween the two of us, the public'is getting a little fed up on these strikes and other troubles we've been having.” ; Green: “You're talking now, John, and it looks to me like we got to do something about it. If we fight it out, we're likely to defeat the cause and split the vote a half dozen different ways Lewis: “And then there’s this guy Roosevelt. Say, isn't he a vote-getting son-of-a-gun? You know, you can't_fool with that baby, Bill. You remember when I popped out with one the other day about the ad- ministration lacking the nght kind of coordination Jap Bayonet and Bomb shelf suipers.

Bill, that guy’s got it, and neither unr- of us can afford to antagonize any of his crowd.” Green: “Yeh, John, and he's sure got plenty crowd. That's something not to overlook.” Lewis: “Bill, I think we're getting somewhere.” The boys exchange fresh cigars. Green John that we know about where what do you say we go out to lunch. We'll give the newspaper boys a statement on the way out, and don't you think it would be a pretty good idea to pose for a picture together. We can suggest to one of the boys that they caption it something about two old miners get together’ and kind of leave it hanging in the air.” | Lewis: “That’s right, Bill.

Consequently, the “model home library,” brought up to date this,vear by the American Booksellers Association, wouldn't wholly |please our beloved humorist, The first name he would Icome to on the list prepared for the Book Fair would be a novel by the pungent but gentle Jane entitled “Pride and Prejudi Lesser mortgls, would also wonder why some algmr.s were represented and others not. Any of us, preparing to be cast away on a desert island on a rather small raft and other necessities of life as well as books, could weat the list down to two hundred. The mingling of the classic with volumes still damp behind the ears _or should one say dog-ears?—gives every Oppor- tunity for the swinging of the lethal axe. The list does illustrate what is coming to be the modern attitude toward books. “every educated man” had to read certain whether he liked them or not. Not to have read them was as bad as showing up at a formal party in a black tie. We are more democratic now. We recognize that some classics are dead and some are alive, and that most of them are dead for some people and alive for | others. The immortals are having a lot of competition If they are to keep up with today’s output they must hump themselves In the booksellers’ with William Faulkner, of life without flinching; revised both of them facing the facts Cervantes with Hemingway, and also with George Borrow—all three fascinated by | n and the Spaniards; Hardy and Dreiser peddle their wares from ngar-by booths; the browser can pick @p Scott or Stébenson, Kenneth Roberts or Wil~ liami McFee; in history one misses Thucydides, in bio- graphy Plutarch, but one finds Carlyle and Prescott, Wells and van Loon, Brooks; in poetry there are Chaucer and Dante, E. A. Robinson, Whitman and Robinson Jeffers; in sci- ence the amiable author of “The Natural History of Selborne,” as well as that energetic modernist, Paul de Kruif, It is no use going on—the line of thought has no terminal facilities. . What we want in books, old or new, is a human voice which can speak to us of things important to us now. The voice may first have spoken two thousand years or four years ago: yester- day's book may be outdated, and new. Here Time the tyrant gnaws his whiskers in vain—in literature he has no corporate state. Japan tells the world she will do what she pleases even in the International Settlement at Shanghai. And who will be the goat to say her nay?—Boston | Globe. You know—what if Washington, what if Jeffer- son, what if Lincoln—what if all or any of them were | alive?
