charm to the picture drama that the

establishment of a pho

of the great merits of the screen dra-

These facts will be clearly demon

this: A man is expected 20 sow his

Will society let a woman live down

LABOR LOSES LITTLE
IN 1877 LEGISLATURE
(By United Press

Sacramento, March 21.-Jimmy Ry-
an, one of the labor leaders in the
Assembly, after several weeks of OBJ
scryation, deliberation and investiga-
ton, declared today his conviction
that labor viii lose nothing in this
session Of the legislature.
A week after the legislature con-
vened in January Ryan was asked
whether, in his opinion, the Assem-
bly, would have a pro-labor or anti
labor majority, notably on the two
big labor and capital measures be-
fore the legislature-the compulsory
arbitration bill and the anti-injunction
bill.
"Ask me again, later on" suggested
Ryan. at will give me little chance

So, upon being asked today wheth-
er he had yet arrived at conclusion,
Iyan remarked:
Labor will find the Assembly O..
n. III a IllLlG CuDIOuS dDOuL Tic
Senate. In our branch the compul-
sorry arbitration bill will be beaten
and the anti-injunction bill will car
", but labor will have a hard time
getting the anti-injunction measure
past the Senate, it appears"
Ryan's opinion, he says, is based
partly on the Assembly's vote on the
proposal to kill the Collins bill-a
measure to abolish private employ
ment agencies--by referring it to
the judiciary committee. The vote
was Al to 35 against re-reference.

vote, while not showing exactly how
the assemblymen will line up on the
big labor issues, gives us something

favor Of labor will be bigger than
