	Reader's Companion to American History - -LEWIS, JOHN L. (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		LEWIS, JOHN L., labor leader and president of the United Mine Workers (umw) and the Congress of Industrial Organizations (cio).
		After 1950, however, Lewis brought labor peace to a declining coal industry, steadily improved the material conditions of union members, and won esteem as an apostle of "cooperative capitalism." Lewis cooperated with mine operators because such cooperation stabilized the industry, increased union power, and guaranteed working miners high wages and greater fringe benefits.
		Lewis thus enjoyed great success and abysmal failure: he had served as "the great emancipator" for industrial workers during the 1930s and as their "great betrayer" for repudiating Roosevelt in 1940.

		Panamanians are debating the plan; a CID Gallup Poll taken in May reported 56% of Panama's citizens in favor, 20% against, the rest undecided or not voting.
		But the United States, which controlled the canal and a neighboring strip of land until 1979, also has a major stake in the fabled corridor's future: More than two-thirds of the ships that pass through it are coming from, or going to, American shores.
		The proposal is the most ambitious canal venture since Teddy Roosevelt engineered the 1903 revolution that created Panama from a malaria-ridden corner of Colombia and carved a trade route where others had tried and failed.
