 2nAY RIIN AT THE STATE

Richard Barthelmess has been more than lucky in his choice of a starring vehicle in 'The Last Flight" which opened 3 day en- gagement this afternoon at the Warner Bros State theater.
 The story is by John Monk Saunders, who, if we are not mis- taken, did both "The Dawn PatroP' and "The Finger Points" for the same star. '"The Last Flight" is known to many as "Nikki and Her War Birds" which ran serially in Liberty Magazine and was later published as a novel under the title of Single Lady,
 MT Barthelmess plays Cary Lock- wood, chief of pretty Nikki's war birds. He is an ex-f1yer who crashes into the picture from a flaming plane, and proceeds to paint Paris red in an effort to pro- vide thrills equal to those of the

CLERGYMAN WINS PROBATION FOR YOUTH
Ulinskas Given
 Chance Through ss@
 Offices Of Lewis
Judge Suspends Reformatory Sentence and Advises Brooklyn Youth to Show Appreciation for In- terest Taken in Him By Episcopal Rector

With the remark that if Thomas Ulinskas, 21, of John street, was appreciative of the friendly inter est shown in him by Rev John N. Lewis, rector of St Johns Episco- pal church, the police would never be obliged to deal with him again, Judge John F. McGrath in city court today suspended the execu- tion of the sentence, committing the young man to the state reform atory at Cheshire. "I am placing you on probation for one year in the custody of MT Lewis. If you are half the friend to him that he is to you, you will never be in here again." the judge concluded.
 Ulinskas was charged with ob- taining goods under false pre- lenses. It marked his fourth ar- rest in five years for passing worthless checks. In this particu- lar complaint he obtained some paint and change in return for

Y.. were inclined to be vindictive Ulinskas would face several charges of theft. While working as caddy at that famous resort Ulinskas is alleged to have stolen a watch, several golf bags and sets of golf sticks from club members. Detective Joseph Bender is work ing on the case at present recov- ering the stolen goods, which the youth distributed among his friends.
 The accused entered plea of guilty this morning and when asked what he had to say for him self stood up and said, All want is another chance to go right. Through the friendly intercession of Rev Dr Lewis he obtained the chance, his last one as far as the local police court is concerned.

STEEL MACNATE
Scores Wage Cuts; ''Pretty
Cheap Business" He SAYS

New York.-Part-t time employment
and wage reductions in the steel in
dustry is pretty cheap business
said James A. Farrell, president
United States Steel Corporation in ar
address at the annual meeting of the
American Iron and Steel Institute.
He said steel is sold below production
costs, and he ridiculed the pretense OF
alleged "far-sighted business men
who would maintain this system by
lowering wages.
The address, unexpected and scath-
ing, followed statement by Charles
M. Schwab, president of the institute
and chairman board of directors OF
Bethlehem Steel Corporation, that
maintenance of wages and spread OF
employment is one of the outstanding
achievements of the steel industry in
the present depression.
Turning to Schwab, the steel corpo-
ration executive said:
Il am not going to give the indus
try, Mr.. Schwab, the sort of benedic-
tion that you have given them and
say now, you are all fine men and you
are all doing good jobs. I say that
we are not doing a good job and until
we do good job we should not in
dulge in fulsone praise"

WAGE SLASH PROBE
HELD IN WISCONSIN

Madison, visa majority of the
legislative committee that has been
probing wage reductions in his state
report that reductions have been made
in 88 per cent Of the 19 cases investi-
gated. The minority, consisting of
four members, assert that the evil
dence is not conclusive, as living costs
may equalize the cuts.
The majority members charge that
outside influences have been used on
Wisconsin employers to still further
reduce wages. The minority agrees
that wages paid in tobacco ware
houses "are unreasonably low, as
compared with other industries"
The majority recommends an unem-
ployment insurance law.

SchWab abandoned his professional
optimistic pose after Farrell's slash
ing attack. II really discover no diff
terence between my views and Mr..
Farrells, and heartily indorse all he
said," was the Bethlehem mans COM
ment.
More than 1000 steel manufac-
turers listened to the excoriation of
wage cutting policies.
I'VE are living in a fools paradise
If we think that every steel manufac-
turer in the United States has main
tanned what is generally known as the
current rate of wages; it has not been
done,' said Mr.. Farrell. "There has
been honeycombing and pinching and
that sort of thing. Even among the
most-talked-of companies, the So
called big companies-the companies
IN the headlines now and then-they
do not pay thesstandard rate of wages
when it comes to the rate per hour.
Nobody talks about stabilizing
salaries; it is always the man in the
mill or the man in the mine."
Mr.. Farrell condemned cutthroat
competition between steel men and
rldiculed economists who talk of low
wages and blame the steel tariff.
The average duty on iron and
STEEL" he said, would not bring the
steel from New York to Lancaster.
Pa, and yet some learned economists
and other people always get down to
one thing, and that is to cut the So
cents-an-hour fellow"

this spring have been so small that

Review.
Employment of union members dur

employment gains have been small.
In 1929, from January to May, ac-
cordlng to union reports, employ
ment gains covered 4.6 of the mem
bership; this year only '27 per cent
found work. Since our figures cover
representative group of the ma
tons wage earners, we may conclude
that less than million of the $50 900
without work in January have found
jobs in industry. Including agricul-
ture, we estimate only about 10000

The review states that "this leaves

ahead for the dull summer months. We
must begin planning at once if we are

WORTHLESS INSURANCE
URGED BY UNIONISTS

Atlantic City.-Unemployment in
surance will be urged as part of
the next contract between employers
and the international Ladies Garment
Workers Union, said Benjamin
Schlesinger, president of the latter
organization.
The union executive declared that if
employers attempt to reduce wages
they will have on their hands the
biggest fight in the history of the
union" Workers earn barely enough
to live on, and if wage reductions are
put into effect, the depression will be
intensified, he said.

What the Press Agents Say
LORETTA YOUNG IN "BIG
 BUSINESS GIRL" TO OPEN AT
 WARMERS STATE TOMORROW

Loretta Young, youngest and love Hest of screen stars, does the best work of her career in Big Business Girl" which opens a three day en- gagament at Warner Brothers State theater tomorrow.
 The title role calls for rare skill in Mac, a college girl, is undecided whether to marry the young college orchestra leader, Johnnie Saunders, or to go to the Big Town and start secretarlal career which may in time land her in the world of big business. She finally decides on the latter.
 Saunders-splendidl portrayed by Frank Alberton-goes overseas for the summer with his jazz boys and Mac hies to the city, where, arter discouraging weeks, she gets 1op with an advertising agency, the big boss hiring her for personal reasons. Ricardo Cortez plays the amorous head of the agency with his unusual finish. Though Mac gets Saunders promotion in the musical world by using her powerful acquaintances, and although she and Saunders have been secretly married, they quarrel and part.
 A catty patroness of Saunders is played with unction by Dorothy Christy. Divorce proceedings, which are manipulated by the boss. are doubtfully aided by blonde CO., respondent, played with roughneck verve by Joan Blondell. and Oscar Apfel is aptly cast as an aged and wealthy follower of Mac. Those favorites of the screen, Mickey Ben- nett and Bobby Gordon. have anus ing parts as office devils, and Vir- sinia is a sniffy office as assistant.

RICHARD DIX & JACKIE COOPER STAR IN "YOUNG DONOVA ANS
 KID" CLOSES AT STATE

Performance this afternoon and evening mark the final showings of Radios talkie hit Young Donovan's Kid' starring Richard Dix and Jackie Cooper.
 Young Donovan's Kid" is an adaptation of Rev Beach's popular novel Big Brother" Dix, as Jim Donovan, monarch of a New York gang, is forced through the death of a pal to take over the rearing of a young boy. Out of this association comes a great love and the desire to send the boy straight But his every move for good is misinterpreted and he is hurled into a maelstrom of trouble which tears the boy from his arms. The climax, in which the boy lis restored to him, is one of the most dramatic situations ever transformed Ito celluloid. ,
 "Young Donovans Kid" Is a far cry from the usual popping. |men-dropping gangster pictures. II Ideals with reformation, not degrada tion. The film comes as welcome relief from the hackneyed crook pie lures of the machine gun and racke- teering type.
 An excellent surrounding bill ac- companies the feature presentation.
