Los Angeles Unions Open One
. Of Finest Equipped Of Its .
Kind IN the Country. .

After mouths of careful planning,
organized workers of Los Angeles,
CAL, have opened the first union
labor laundry in the city and one
of the finest cooperative plants Of
its kind in the country. The laun-
dry is the outcome Of the efforts
Of the Southern California Coop
erative association, composed Of
representatives of various labor
groups, who have already estab-
lished a successful cooperative
broom factory, and are striving for
a cooperative bakery, cooperative
bank, and other workers co-opera-
tive institutions.
According to James F. Brock Of
Troy, NJ, Y, president Of the In
ternational Laundry Workers union,
who was present to help at the
opening Of the enterprise. 1.-THE I'm
ion COOPERATIVE Laundry will be
a success from the first day, because
it is in the hands of practical men
and women, and its service will be
first class" The manager Of the
laundry Is member of the Los
Angeles Laundry Workers union
with more than 80 years. experience
in the business.
The Union COOPERATIVE Laundry
is another link in the chain Of sue
cessful cooperative laundries that
stretches across the continent. The
largest of these is the Mutual Laun-
dry Of Seattle, with plant cover
ing an entire block. Pacific Coast
organized labor has also established
cooperative laundries at Aberdeen,
Washington and San Bernardino,
CAL, the latter one earning over $500
a month for the co-operators. Others
are located in Ell Paso and Brecken-
ridge, Texas, Little Rock, Ark.
Greenwich Village, New York City,
and Lynn, Mass. Every one OF these
laundries is a success, providing: en-
ployment under the best possible
conditions for the workers and turn
ing out superior laundry work for
the co-operators at cost.

What is regarded as one Of the
outstanding vaudeville attraction Of
years is the unusual headliner at
traction a THE Orpheum theater
starting Sunday. It is Langdon Nc
Cormack's sensational melodrama
1.-THE Storm" a condensed version
Of the famous play Of the same name
which had. a. record run Of one year
in New York City and played almost
as long in the legitimate theaters
Of Chicago and London.
The big punch act of the play has
been utilized for the vaudeville pre-
sentation. A cast Of five headed by
Edward Arnold appears in it. The
full length play only had one addi-
tional character.
Here is the stroy of the act: David
and Bert were former pals and, part
ners in their forest exploits near
Calgary but Mannette tho French
maid came between them which re-
suited in bad blood. This situation
is worked up to a terrific climax
when she must chose the one who
must risk his life fighting his way
back to Calgary through q; raging
forest fire. Who turns out to be
the hero and who the weakling comes
as a complete surprise. r.
Critics everywhere say that the
forest fire scene is certain knock

borate and spectacular. effects. Blaz-

indescribable confusion make the
finale one that will be remembered

Steel MANUFACTURERS
RESIST Federal PROBE

WASHINGTON, Jan. 12.-If the
government can "meddle" with the
steel industry. it can control the pub
lie press, is the latest claim Of ~
eastern steel corporations in its two
year contest with the federal trade
commission.
The federal board is attempting to
ascertain production costs but the
steel manufacturers oppose the plan.
The commission recently attempted
to secure production costs by an in
junction.
When these business men are call
cd upon to raise wages, however, an
investigation of the cost of living
for workers 10 taken as q matter of
course.

>believe in freedom and in justice for
all. They stand for the obolition
Of autocracy in industry as they do
in government. They would supple
ment the wage system with volun-
tary cooperation by which every
person in industry would be enabled
to withdraw therefrom his exact pro-
ton in accordance with his contri-
button thereto. They are not for
more government; they would be
content with less. They would pro-
tect all persons in their right of
life, liberty and the pursuit of hap
piness." That's the first and last
word in their philosophy. And that
too is the road to take if we would
get out of our present state without
the shedding of blood and loss of life.
It is the substance and not the
shadow.
