HEAD OF CHAMBER
ENDORSES POLICY OF
STATE FEDERATION
washington State Federation BulIstIn)

washington State Federation Bulletn)
SEATTLE, April 1S.-The Olympia
labor movement is still holding the
front line as the best organized town
in the state. President Short of the
State Federation Of Labor spent
Thursday and Friday of last week at
the capital city endeavoring among
other things to iron out a little in
terl.al dissension that had threatened
the labor movement there lately. Con.
ferences with parties involved on both
sides brought about satisfactory un-
derstanding, and complete harmony
is again being rapidly restored.
While in Olympia the president Of
the State Federation addressed the
convention of the State Chamber
Der of Commerce on the subject
of Labor and Commercial Organiza-
tions." He informed the convention
that the commercial organization had
everything to gain by cooperating
with labor in it's fight for a higher
standard of living, as every additional
dollar earned by labor was spent
with the members of the commercial
organizations, and that the best aid
to prosperity for business was stead
lily employed and well paid labor. He
declared that too much attention had
been focused on the radical in labor's
ranks and too little attention directed
towards the radical in the ranks of
business, whose activities were equal
ly if not more dangerous to the unity
and cooperation and good will so es-
sential to the success of the COM
munity at large. President Coffman
of the State Chamber of Commerce
responding to the address, declared
that he had been vigorous in his
insistence that labor be given it's just
recognition in any state organization
formed to promote the welfare of
the state, and expressed himself as
being cognizant sof the fact that a
great deal of missionary work should
be done in allaying the opposition OF
Rnti-labor factions in order to pro.
mote a higher standard of coopera-
ton and unity of purpose in the state
in the interest of all concerned.

MIAMI, Fla. Feb. 2S.-Walter D. Kinds. nationally known sportsman, and C. J. Martin, prominent business man of Miami, are recovering today from q night of narrowing hardships in the mud of shallow bay south of here and in a mangrove swamp after the seaplane in which they were coming to Miami from fishing trip on the west coast was brought down. out of gasoline, in the worst gale of months.
 The party made a safe landing on the water in spite of the velocity of the gale. The outgoing tide swept them rap idly toward the open ocean. phey jump ed overboard and pushed the plane in shallow water, they were able to reach small key several miles from shore. In the darkness with flashing rain and thunderstorm in progress, they set out in the mud and shallow water for the mainland. Guiding themselves by the flashes of lightning, they floundcred on for six hours, reaching a mangruve swamp at one o'clock in the morning. Over fire made from deadwood in the dripping mangrove tanglee they passed the rest of the night. At daybreak they walked until they found farm from which they telephoned for help.

 Beautiful girls, almost world with - out end, costumes that are dazzling and scenic effects that are the most lavish yet seen in Birmingham, are just some of fhe features of the extruya- 2anZa.

All the proceeds go to the Junior League to carry on the work it has planned for the coming year in help for others. ..

 KEEN ON POLITICS
Forbes Says Business Men Are Showing More And
 More Interest
by b. 0. FoRDEs

IN THE SOUTH, Feb. 2s.--As the presidential convention draws near, there is more and more talk of candi- dates among the business men one meets through the south. ! Would an unbiased report of the tenor of the talk interest you?
 Within the last week, whispers have Copeland of New York is slated as the probable dark horse. The south doesn't know very much about him, but what it does know Is not unfavor- able, to say the least.
 William G. McAdoo's chances of the nomination are regarded as having been gravely injured by the oil reveia- voice the view that McAdoo did not do anything discreditable.
 senator Underwood Is forging to the front in all political discussions. He .s the idol of certain sections. and among many business men of the south, although in other parts no is not considered progressive enough. It facts, however, to say that he is ac- cepted as being the most likely candi- date at the nntment., / Senator Reed Is either strongly favored or strongly opposed. There are no different views expressed regarding him. I have heard the thought voiced quite often, however, that the death of ex-President Wilson has militeted against his chances since he has revived discussion in the many biographical articles about the late President oi the Reed Wilson fight. Whereas, Un- derwood Is often described as perhaps too conservative 10 fill the bill, Reed Is often described as being too far at the other end of the line.
 A Josephus Daniels boom of some vigor has lately been launched by Carolinians, but it has not thus fai spread widely.
 As for Senator Hiram Johnson, the south Is taking extremely little inter est in his candidacy. Whenever ons brings up his name, the view expressed as a rule, Is that this is not the south's affair and that the republicans car fight it out among themselves.
 Henry Ford has a great many admir- CTS in the south, although 1t may bt recorded that sentiment is not at al unanimous that his Muscle Shoals bid should be accepted, especially in view of the freedom from state. regulation desired by Ford. Had Henry not defi- nitely withdrawn from the race and in dorsed Coolidge, he would unQuestion- ably have cut quite figure in southern political talk.
 Not once. have I heard any republi' can but President Coolidge seriously mentioned as the opposition candidate

GALLO HAS FINE OPERA COMP ANY

Reliable reports from New York in dicate that Fortune Gallo, daughty little impresario of the famous San Carlos Grand Opera company, some times styled ''le petit caporal de fopera," has this season raised his na- fionally popular organization to a place among the clouds. It would seem that the San Carlos has fully arrived" The artistic personnel this year is as nigh perfect as could be asked for an enterprise purv:yjng a fine art at un- usually popular prices, and on top of this Mir. Gallo has not neglected a good showman's maxim of <"'give them their moneys worth, and little more" This is palpably evident in his having provided beautifully new scenery; l; splendid and colerful new costumes inn ported from the countries in which the opera stories take place; and in his engaging only the most pleasing artists, and enlarging his already large and brilliant chorus and orchestra 1t is promised that Birmingham is to enjoy the same identical sumptuous lyric fare when the San Carlos comes to the Jefferson Theatre next Thursday, Fri day and Saturday.

sound business methods. This is how he feels about it
 Tn the first place, cleanliness is the one big essential. The players must look clean, the wardrobe and scenery must have the appearance of freshness, and last. but not least, the comedy must be devoid of all filth and suggestive ness. No lines, scene. action, song, dance, costume or implication must be allowed to creep in. All the dimples in the world can not offset an implication of smut. While it may please a few, it not only offends the many-but is uncalled for in legitimate show busi. ness.
 ''To be successful in the show busi. ness now. you must give the people a lot for their money, and that lot must be garnished with real talent, which is readily recognized by the up-to-date theatre-goer, who can not be fooled as in the days gone by.
 ''We endeavor to give big show with heap of speed and pep, and above all, show that any man can safely take his own mother or sister to, with. out fearing offense.'
