thing else 6 man of action.
 Almost anyone is capable ot noting great wrongs in the world and protesting against them, but only q few people have the gift of compassion. The truly great re- formers have always been people who, when they looked upon the pain and suffering of others, felt it keenly in their own flesh. Florence Nightingale became an angel of mercy to untold thousands because she could feel the suffering which rouah soldiers endured. Abraham Lincoln became the Gerat Emanct- pator because he felt the indignity of gervitude imposed on others and used his great office to abolish 1t. General Booth, founder of the Sale vation Army, suffered with the doomed people of the slums and felt tearing at his own soul the evils which were decimatlng them.
 Our Lord was Lord indeed be- cause He could suffer with people. when He saw the multitude, He had compassion on them.

mine. Almost half his miners were out of work. Nonsunion miners had tawen over great areas. And his treasury was almost flat.
 The story oR how Roosevelt saved him, and adopted . Mbe eFal labor program, is tOo well known Co need Eetelllng here. And with that new surge os power, John L.'s el6 egolszn scared Co fuller and greater heights. No was cgu@aGlng for labor, It was true; but lt was . personalised crusade which was wrapped up In the gIoFiflcatiOn Of one man.
 The fact that John L. bought out the University Club in Washington and transformed 1t into wood-panelled sanctum as ornate as any big business office along Wall Street was relatively unimportant. It indicated how. ever, his perSonalized rule over the miners. The United Mine Workers always had been c one man machine, but now John |. reached out and built up the CIO. And the CI0 became a one man machine.
 For instance, when Carl Hold erman, head of the New Jersey CIO, fired q suspected Communs ist, the latter came to Washing. ton and got c job from John L. Lewis CiO headquarters, which promptly assigned him right back to New Jersey as an organiser where he could embarraSs Hol. derman.
 The miners like to think of their chief as sitting in a huge os- flee and riding in Q limousine as long as any mine owners; but many times during recent years they have sat in the outer office holding their hats, while ''Their John" spent his time negotiating strikes in CIO unions which had no relation whatsoever to the Mine Workers.
 LEWIS CIO EMPIRE
 This is one thing the miners have not liked. However, they have not known much about it. have not known in any detail, for instance, that "Their JOhn' has used miners funds to organize other unions. Probably they did not know that he financed a man to operate inside the Newspaper Guild, 6 union far removed from the coal industry.
 This was how John l.. eOns
 tinued his great personaIl1ed
 power. He maintains it also
 by playing close to his district
 coal leaders. They eat out Of
 his hand. And he feeds them
 well.
 Not many miners knew it, but shortly before the present strike was called, Lewis summoned his district presidents and gave them an unexpected and handsome boost in salary from e6,OOO to $l0,000 a year. With the boost, Lewis warned that he would exc pect them to collect the in. creased dues and see that the men stood behind the expected strike in the captive mines.
 These district presidents are the men who keep the miners in line locally, and operate Lewis personal machine. And with lush pap fed from the hand of their master, they seldom fail to do his bidding
 John L. has other means Of keeping his glorlfied ego in the drivers seat. One is elections. When it Is announced to the press that the miners have voted to stand behind John L. Lewis, it does not necessarily mean that the great mass of miners have voted. Is usually means that a great mass of miners nave voted. It usually means that e little group of hand~pickod Mewisltss at the top have carried out orders.

ness Committee of the Association
Of American Medical Colleges. The
medical schools of George Wash

association.
Would Drop Vacations.
Although no details of the plan
had been received at the three local
schools, the Associated Press quoted
Dr.. Rappleye as saying that the
normal long summer vacations
would be eliminated, having the
effect of reducing the present four
wear medical course to three years.

Dr.. w. A Bloedorn, dean of

said % students who are among
the IS that normally would be
