Jouhaux

Art was creeping up from the not-too-distant Haut Marais, including Galerie Chantal Crousel’s second Parisian exhibition space on the Rue Léon Jouhaux.

However, none of the delegates from the 13 Central and South American States represented* rose to embarrass Host Lombardo on this point nor did any of the big three "fraternal delegates" present: French Trade Union Tsar L�on Jouhaux, whose dues-paying followers number 5,000,000; the Minister of Justice of Leftist Spain, famed Ram�n Gonz�lez Pe�a, who has personally fought fascism in the Asturias by lighting sticks of dynamite from the end of his cigar and hurling them where they would do the most good; and John L. Lewis of C.I.O.

Mr. Lewis, M. Jouhaux and Sr. Gonz�lez Pe�a took no active part last week as Sr. Lombardo Toledano and the other Latin Americans proceeded to found a Federation of Latin American Workers, which adopted a constitution, made Mexico City its headquarters, provided that its president must reside there and then elected Vicente Lombardo Toledano first president.

For a time Jouhaux put up with the comrades, but by the end of 1947, he saw that he was simply being used as a respectable front.

A red-hot anarcho-syndicalist risen from the factories, Jouhaux liked to boast that if war came, labor in all Europe would quench it by a general strike.
