MARY P'|CKFORO
MAY RETURN

The probability OF Mary pickford
becoming a bonafide resident of Ne
yada in the near future Is being dis
cussed here following the visit yester-
day of Gavin McNab of San Francisco
attorney for the motion picture star.
p. A. McCarran. who represented
the star in her divorce action at Min
den recently, refused to comment up
on the subject other than to admit
that McNab had been In Reno and they
had conferred on the Pickford case.
MeCarran recently purchased the
Gibbons home on Court street and II
WAS rumored at that time that the
attorney acted for Mr.. and Mrs. Fair
banks In the transaction and the
couple from Los Angeles would make
that resident their home here. Judge
McCarran says the rumor is unfound-
ed and that he purchased the house
for himself. says the Gazette.
With regard to the status OF the
Pickford case Judge McCarran re-
fused to make any statement.
There is nothing to give out at
present, he said. But he did not
deny that future developments of In
terest to Reno people could be ex-
pected
McNab spent the day here In con-
ference with several persons. includ-
ing Judge McCarran. and 1t was COM
mon rumor that home had been pur-
chased in this city which will be used
by Mr.. and Mrs. Douglas Fairbanks
as their residence should they come
here.
Reports originating in Los Angeles
state that Mrs. Fairbanks will refuse
to accept summons in the action
brought by Attorney General Fowler
to have her divorce from Owen Moore
set aside. She Is said to contend that
the statute OF Nevada has been COM
piled with In every way so that no
criminal proceedings. either, can be
started
Numerous reports have been circu-
lated here that are supposed to have
had their origin In Lose Angeles One
stated that Fairbanks and Pickford
would establish motion picture
studio here and continde their work
with this city as their headquarters.
II is known that experts have re-
ported to Fairbanks that climatic con-
ditions here are ideal for motion pic
ture work with more sunshine hours
In Reno than in Southern California
Reno also is closer to mountains with
perpetual snow. scenic grandeur and
other features so much desired In Aim
work.
II Is contended by local lawyers
that Miss Pickford could end all dis
cussion OF her legal entangements by
coming to Nevada to make this her
residence. II would make no differ
ence where she made her residence.
The fact that her decree was granted
at Minden would not affect residence
In Reno and II Is said she prefers
living In city to residing on a ranch
with none OF the modern conveniences

Haying Season to Start
About the First of July


this year as formerly, according to a
statement made by J. B. Dangberg,
who claims that the season is about
fifteen days late. Last year haying
commenced about the 18th OF June,
and greater portion of the hay on
the smaller ranches was harvested by
the 4th of July. This year work will
not begin until near that time. Though
a water shortage is feared. those in
a position to know claim that there
will be sufficient water for a bounte-
Gus second crop, the cold weather
having saved the early spring rur-oif
of former years.

Mrs. GOmpers Dead

Washington - Mrs. Sophia Julian
Gompers died in this city after an
illness that dated from the death of
Sadie, nearly two years ago. Mrs.
Gompers never recovered from the
passing of this ideal and only
daughter.
Deceased was 50 years of age. She
was born in London and came to
America when 8 years of age. She
married Samuel Gompers in 1867.
She was the mother of six children,
three of whom died after they at
tanned young manhood and woman
hood.
The remains were inferred in New
York. Those in attendance at the
funeral services included a large num-
ber of trade unionists, among whom
were members of the A. F. of L.
executive council and officers of ma
tional and international trade unions.
Sympathetic kilograms and letters
by the hundreds from trade unionists
and from citizens in official and priv
ate life were received by President
Gompers. The coffin was covered
with flowers. Among them was a
wreath with a card inscribed, "The
President and Mrs. Wilson, with
sincere sympathy"

Causes For Unrest

New York-The causes for indus
trial unrest were discussed by Vice
President Williams of the hydraulic
steel corporation in a speech in this
city.
The attitude of this business man
was a refreshing contrast to the
chatter that now passes as Estates
manship" and education" in certain
quarters. The speaker declared that
where unrest exists, there are reasons
for this condition.
The reasons, he said, are lack of
steady employment, with consequent
importance of the job to the worker;
extremely long hours, with resultant
fatigue and dissatisfaction; the high
cost of living; the general belief that
profteering is rife; bad living con-
ditions, and restlessness due to the
failure of living conditions to return
to normal, though the war has ended.
Couple this, said the speaker, with
dead-dog tiredness and the result is
a man who can't think favorably Of
anything, and thus is uneconomic.
The speakers views reflex his seven
months experience last year as an
unskilled laborer in steel mills, coal
mines, railroad yards and ship yards.

Ameri can Federation of Labor
more than this he retains complete
power over his employees.
He may arrange welfare societies
in his plant. He may have a pension
system for those employees who serve
him faithfully and abstain from trade
union membership. He may conduct a
system of athletics and recreation for
his employees and provide them with
model work rooms, but above and
beyond all these there is no element
of democracy in his plant. He de-
nies his employees collective bargain
ing, and therefore controls the lives
of these workers. He sets their living
standards. He orders. His workers
accept. They are denied an equality
enjoyed by union shop employees.
Non-union shop employees accept
the welfare work of an employer,
but they do it at the price of their
liberty. Their grievances are sub
ject to the good will of the employer.
He may remedy them, but he does it
because he is "a good boss" and not
because his employees stand up as
men and demand justice.
If the grievance is not adjusted the
employe must accept onerous condi-
tions or quit. If an individual quits,
that is nothing to the employer.
Fundamentally there is no differ
ence between the non-union shop en-
ployer and the slave owner before the
civil war. In both cases the employer
and the slave owner are absolute.
Both provided amusement for their
workers. The slave owner prided
himself on being "a good master"
The non-union employer says: 81 pro-
tect my employees"
In neither case was the slave or is
the employe permitted to protect
themselves.
In the union shop this autocratic
rule does not exist. Here, the en-
ployes have a collective voice in
working conditions. The employer
comedies that democracy in industry
is possible and that welfare work is
not substitute for democracy. The
union employer is not interested in
welfare work or in protecting" his
employees. He treats them as Ameri-
cans who can furnish their own
