The strike is the result of failure of the operators and miners to reach an the one expiring March 31. The old agreement, signed three years ago, has not been satisfactory to the op- orators. They say they cannot con- tinue to pay S7.5O per day. This, it is claimed, averages S2 per day higher than the wages now paid in the non union fields of Kentucky, Virginia and West Virginia, and the union mines of Illinois, Indiana, Ohio and Western Pennsylvania insist they cannot com pete on this basis. The union miners maintain that the situation in the soft coal region cannot be relieved by cut ting wages and that the workers can not adjust their standard of living to the non-union wage.
 The stock of coal in the hands of the public increased 12,OO0,O0O tons between October 1 and January 1, which leaves the coal consumers in relatively easy position.

ALASKA LEGISLATURE RE
(Juneau Empire)

Carrying appropriation items ag- gregating S166,S50, the biennial SUD- ply bill for the Alaska Agricultlral College and School of Mines was in- troduced by Representative Ross. It was referred to the Committee on Ways and Means of which he is chairman.
 This is approximately equal to the amount appropriated by the 1925 Legislature. The current bill pro- vides for construction of dormitory for women students, for extension courses, an agricultural project and the normal cost of maintainance and operation for the biennium.
 Discuss Fish Bill
 After Bill No. IA, repeating acts under which the present Alaska Fish Commission operates. had passed it's second reading this morning, the House took up for consideration in Committee of the Whole Bill No. 15, which seeks to provide for an elec- tive commission. No definite action had been taken on any of the amend ments suggested when the House recessed at noon.
 The provisions of the measC4e, Mi. Lomen pointed, out from the floor, are loosely drawn and undey them enormous expenditures of Territorial funds might be made as no check is provided. The proposed commission is given power to approve of it's own expenditures The House resumed it's considera ton of the measure when it was expected other amendments would be offered.
 House Bill Mo- 13, which seeks the repeal of the Act of 1917, the origi- nal fish commission statute, was slated to come up for final action later. If it passes, No. II, will pro- bably be passed also. Without the 1917 Act, the law passed in 1919, the

A PEEK EACH WEEK
AT MOTION PICTURES
"wE'RE IN THE NAVY Now"

"WE'RE IN THE NAVY NOW"
Hear ye! All ye gullible, hear vel
"We're in the Navy Now" is not the
funniest picture Of the year. This SOL
emn statement about a funny picture
Is made after thoughtful elaboration,
accurate counting OF laughs and
weighing all evidence appended here
to.
And yet, we feel that with four bits
to spare this picture showing at the
McVickers wouldn't be a bad invest
ment. Wallace Berry is prize fight
er and prize dumb-bell, whose equally
dumb manager is played by Raymond
Hatton. Berry particularly is a dead
ringer for the numerous heavy numb
nannies that pass as prize fighters
If you have spent any time around a
gymnasium you'll appreciate the act
ing. Chester Conklin has a minor
part of little Importance.
The sub-titles are snappy enough
to entitle the writer to be put in cleo
trio lights as a cO-star. You can't
expect us to tell you the plot of a
slap-stick comedy. It's about war and
of course our dumb hero catches a
German spy. They all do and they
all get medals. The whole business
is not designed to discourage recruit
ing for the navy altho the dignity of
the navy also is subject to an occa-
sional pot-shot of ridicule. However
since you have not joined yet despite
the premium of free trip around
the world (scrubbing decks) you're
not likely to join after seeing this pic
ture
AS a whole it is little overdone,
slightly long-winded, just bit too
clever-but you'll laugh alright. And
you'll laugh often. Especially when
you see Berry in prizefght in
which he gets hit just once, after
which the subtitle tells us-"He was
out all night without going any
where" w. c.

THE THEATER

such people as Michael Gold, Florence
| Rauh, Low Lozowich, Low Hartman,
l. Tarnapol, Hugo Gellert and Harbor
Allen. The director who made pos
sible "Fhe Biggest Boob in the World"
is Jasper Deeter. Mr.. Deeter is also
directing the Provincetown Playhouse
and Brookwood Labor College. -.
The leagues plans for the future are
many II is already preparing pro-
duction Of Upton Sinclair's Singing
Jailbirds." The play will be produced
some time in February. Another play
it intends producing this year is
Bunchi Friedman's Miners ct .os
But just merely the production of
plays is not the only purpose of the
Workers Drama League. The league
must spread its ideas not only from
the acting stage, but also from the lee
ture platform. In intra-production
periods, the league is planning a
series of lectures on the theater from
a sociological aspect. Some of the
lecturers whom it has already invit-
| ed Tor the purpose are V. F. Calver-
ton, Michael Gold, l.. Lozowiek and
| H. w. L. Dana. 81 ~
The most ambitions undertaking
yet attempted by the league win be
the holding of symposium, the sub
ject of which shall be, rs Workers
Theater Possible in American" Many
of the biggest actors on Broadway,
playwrights, critics, directors and
scenic artists will be asked to partici-
pate. This symposium with the help
of a few philanthropic comrades-ad-
dress all checks payable to the Work
ers' Drama League, "a Washington
Square South, New York City, should
be held some time in February. This
ought surely to prove one of the most
interesting intellectual events Of the
new year.

THE WORKERS DRAMA LEAGUE
BY MAX GELTMAN.

THE Workers Drama League, char
acterized as the first proletarian
theater in America is situated in the
finest part of Greenwich Village. At
81 Washington Square it enjoys the
distinction of being bounded on the
west by the Provincetown Playhouse,
on the north by Washington Square
Park, ON the east by New York Uni
versity and on the south by what
most characterizes the Village-its
eating places. Enough of the external
physical aspects of the league. What
is the league doing? What does it
intend to do?
The Workers Drama League has
just presented, as its initial produe-
ton Of it's first reorganized season,
'The Biggest Boob in the World" a
fantastic melodrama of workers life,
by the young German writer, Karl
Wittfogel, who may be remembered
by readers of this magazine as the
one who wrote the article on Bernard
Shaw. The show was tremendous
success. 1t was shown three times
at the Church of All Nations in New
York. At the conclusion of the third
performance requests came in to have
he show performed in various parts
Of the city and Passaic. The play
will be shown in Passaic sometime
in January.
The Workers Drama League is an
organization made UP entirely of
workers in its "acting" body. That
is all it's actors are workers at vari-
Gus trades. For it's realization as a
true proletarian theater it uses profes-
sional people closely connected with
The radical left movement of the coun-
Try. On it's executive committee are

Lois Wilson co-starring with Es-
teIIe Taylor and Ricardo cortez in
the new film, "New York" at the
Oriental.
"NEW YORK."
There is this in its favor: the cast
includes Lois Wilson, Ricardo Cortez,
Estelle Taylor Jacks wife, "Skeets"
Gallagher and one or two other actors
of ability.
And then they put this capable
troupe thru story blurb tells us
is: "a song writer's romance with a
society heiress. Jazz songs and mil
lionaires tangled by fate" (Oh ye
Gods, who supervises movies when,
oh, when will we hear the last of
irving Berlin's marriage?
The story is cut on an ancient pat
tern and hasn't been changed since
Columbus wore short pants. The hero
repeatedly tells his sweetie his low
birth on the East Side of New York
doesn't make him good enough for
her But she has different ideas. De-
spite complications which are finally
untangled, her diagnosis is correct.
Honesty and noble ambition win
out in the end. God is good-and
the picture is terrible.
Lois Wilson particularly, and the
rest of the troupe also, do all that
the story allows. That means nothing.
There Is only this consolation you can
get at the Oriental theater in Chicago
where the show is on exhibition: the
Paul Ash show is particularly good
this week. And this isn't consolation.
It's a treat.

ALASKAN ADVENTURES.

Just word on this scenic. For the
first time we have heard an audience
applaud a travel picture. Capt. Rob-

years trip by all conveyance available
thru Alaska. They have photograph
ed the natural wonders of the coun-
try: Yukon river, ice break-ups in
the spring, the salmon run, animal
life, midnight sun and other things.
It's a beautiful job, an interesting one
and as a whole, one of the best edu-
cational pictures we have ever seen.
