ADDITION TO
lynda HOTEL
NOW PLANNED
Construction Will Probably
Start During Summer
TO Be Modern

Tentative plans for a modern
apartment hotel an enlargement
of the present lynda Hotel, have
been made by S. lynda, pro-
prietor according to announces
ment today.
The addition will be construct
ed en- the ground now occupied
by the old Eagle Brewery build
ing, adjoining the lynda Hotel.
This property is already owned
by Mr. lynda
Mr.. lynda returned from
vacation trip in Seattle on the
last steamer and said that he
had studied apartment hotels in
the south, places that enjoy all
the comforts of home, furnished
and equipped for housekeeping
purposes, rented by the day, week
or month
Mr.. lynda stated that while
his plans are not quite complete,
he hopes to start construction
during the coming summer. Mr..
lynda believes that the outlook
for tourist travel to Juneau for
the coming years will justify the
building of such a modern apart
ment hotel.
Mn lynda added another good
word for the juneau climate. He.
said that the weather in and
close to Seattle was far more
severe than here at home, during
his short stay Outside. He added
that the cold prevailed until the
Northwestern, on which he re-
turned, had left Ketchikan at
which time the weather started
to become noticeably warmer and
more pleasant.

ankles of 1929.
AT least they proved 50 when
placed in competition with o-her

Promoters assembled a group Of
girls behind a screen which extend

"How do you like those ankles?'
said the promoter to the crowd as
he pointed to the slightly large
brown-clad ankles of girl Ne. L.
The crowd applauded politely
but family. A dozen other varie-
ties were pointed out. The audi

Then came the Model Ankles

well-turned. The patent-leather

The vote was enthusiastic.

Court Ruling Brings Forth

RIVERSIDE, Cal, Feb. Cor
don Stewart Northcott took the
witness chair late yesterday after
noon to question himself after he
angrily withdrew Sarah Louise
Northcott from the stand when a
court ruling prevented his taking
testimony he wanted from her
and intimated he would attempt to
place the blame for the ranch muir
ders upon or implicate Cyru 8
Northcott, his supposed father.
Hates Father
81 hate him, hate him, now
more than anyone else in the
world" he cried referring to Cy-
rus Northcott, who had given tes-
timony against him.
During the time Sarah Louise
Northcott testified, Mort h colts
questioning brought out the state
ment she was not his mother but
his grandmother
did you ever know anything
about the murders at the ranch.
Northcott asked her
mo, and don't believe you
ever did"
Reply Stricken
The Court ordered the last re-
mark stricken from the records
and young Northcott leaped from
his seat, shouting:
"I'll not question any witnesses
under these circumstances. I'll take
the stand myself"
Rough Treatment
His testimony dealt mainly in
sordid family relationship and al
legged rough treatment by arresting
officers. He charged that his
first confession was given under
duress when Capt Bright, Los An
geles Police officer, struck him
on the head, stunning him.

DYER TAKERS
LET BOSS HOLD
BACK MEMS PAY
Union Officials Aid
the Bosses
(Bu q Worker Correspondentl

(By a Worker Correspondent
The workers of Hoffman Bros,
cleaners and dyers, in Mount YER
non, N. Y, are deeply dissatisfied
with the Dyers and Cleaners Union
affiliated with the A. F. of L., for
these officials are collaborating with
the company to conspire against the
workers interests.
Only two weeks ago in the union
meeting the members who work for
Hoffman Bros. factory bitterly COM
planned about not getting their
wages in time. 1t was said by the
workers that the original pay day
was every Saturday and that after
a whi4cc it was changed to Tuesday,
and later again to Wednesday. But
lately they were not getting their
wages even on Wednesday.
The business agent told the work.
RS in the meeting that if the wages
are not paid on time the shop chair
man should report to him. Last
week Wednesday came around but
the workers were not paid. Thurs
day, no pay. The shop chairman,
seeing that the workers were on the
verge of revolt, telephoned the bust
ness manager who failed to come
and nothing was done about it.
Workers had to wait till Saturday
or their pay. Thus the boss kept
whole weeks wages of the workers.
This shop, which employs nearly
100 workers is supposed to be
union shop, but the wages are as
low as in unorganized shops. The
boss hires union men or non-union
men and nothing is said about it. Of
course his is done with the consent
and understanding of the union Off
Gals whose chief interest is the col
lection of dues. The workers of the
Hoffman plant also complain that
the boss violates the 20 minutes rest
time for overtime; now workers work
two or three hours overtime without
rest or lunch time and despite the
continuous complaints the union does
nothing about it.
All this shows that the A. F. of
L. company union is not the kind of
union workers should belong to.
The dry cleaner workers of Hoffman
Bros. and other shops after ex-
periencing the corruptness of the
company union officials should know
that the best way to protect their in
terests is to organize shop commit
tees composed of the most militant
element among the workers to pro-
tect their interests and fight the cor
ruption of the A. F. of L.
