A revolution in union labor organization is being frequently predicted but it may be a long time coming true. As an aftermath of the Reuther-Thomcontest for the auto workers, reports have sprung as up that Walter EJeu-th- er (CIO) is hobnobbing with Dave Dubinsky ( A F L ) with a view to bringing the auto workers into the AFL. A rumor has John Lewis, the puffing mine boss, taking hold of AFL with his dominating character, shunting William Green aside, in anticipation of developing ope big union in AFL and trimming the CIO. The facts involved in the report Argentinas substantial shipments wheat overseas during April drew hearty praise of Secretary of Agriculture Anderson as the U.
