 Commissioner of Cancellation" is the official title given Miss Anna Weinstock of Roxbury, Mass, and Miss Emmilinne Pitts of Pitts burgh.

time. There are 35 conciliators employed by the department of la bor, which has settled 5000 strikes in IA years.
 So the fun of making dinner and dance dates is not for Miss Vein stock or Miss Pitt. But the excite ment of their daily lives makes the social round of the debutantes look tame. Upon the gestures of their. slim hands and the tones of their voices depends the fate of thous- ands of men, women and children.
 They are sent on the same mis- sions as men conciliators, but are used particularly in strikes where women workers are concerned. An outstanding feat of Miss Vein stock was helping in the settlement of the big textile strike in Eliza bethton, Tenn. last spring. It brought her national fame.
 One of Miss Pitts achievements was settling the Pittsburgh strike of newspaper mailers and suffers in 1926. They demanded increase of wages and recognition of their union. Miss Pitts effected an amicable adjustment after six-day strike.

SCHOOL OPERETTA
 DRAWS BIG CROWD
 LAST PERFORMANCE

The school operetta: Gross Patch Fairies" produced by the Juneau Grade School pupils, scored a genu- ing hit in the final performance at the Elks Hall last night. A large and appreciative audience filled the hall when the High School quartet sang the opening number and the rising curtain on the first act brought applause.
 Fhe gay colored uniforms of the Toyland Brigade and their we'll executed military evolutions called for a big hand, also the setting of Santa Claus workshop at the North Pole, with the elves busily engaged in sewing dolls and teddy bears. The last act, with the performers in their pyjamas, was the high spot in the play, judging by the applause.
 Miss Dorothy Chisholm, Director, is justly proud of her troopers as well as her technical staff. The scenery, props and costumes were all made locally.
