LABOR OPENS Mr. A.
LOYALTY INQUIRY
30,0 900 Unions Membership
in Nationwide Employer
Investigation.

The American Federation Of Labor,
through its 10000 trade unions, today
started an investigation of employers
displaying national recovery blue
eagle emblem to determine if they are
violating ANY code they have signed
or the rules and regulations relating
to the display of the blue eagle"
In starting the investigation Presi-
dent William Green of the federation
sent out the following letter of in
structions to all unions:
1T is highly important that all who
sign either temporary or permanent
the right to use the blue eagle en-
blem shall comply with all the provi-
sions of said industrial codes and cb-
serve both the spirit and the letter of
the industrial recovery law.
Recognition of Rights.
ut is my opinion that only such
employers Of labor and such merchants
who observe the provisions of the blank
ct and permanent codes which the
sign, providing for minimum rates of
pay and maximum hours of work and
who observe section 7 of the industrial
recovery act guaranteeing the workers
the right to organize without discrimi-
naticn, are entitled to either use or
display the blue eagle emblem or the
insignia Of the National Recovery Ad-
ministration
Great dependence must be placed
upon organized labor and its friends to
see to 1t that there are no violations
OF signed temporary or permanent codes
In the cities and towns throughout the
Nation. All must be alert and watchful
in order to prevent the perpetration of
fraud and the use of the Blue Eagle
Emblem by those who are not entitled
to either display or exploit it.
Call Upon Organizations.
II am, therefore, calling upon the
officers and members of organized labor
as it is represented in State declarations
OF labor, local organizations and city
central bodies, to investigate each case
where employers Of labor and merchants
display the Blue Eagle Emblem in your
whether they are entitled to the exercise
of such privilege and whether or not
they are violating any code they have
signed or any of the rules and regula-
items relating to the display of the Blue
Eagle Emblem drafted and promulgated
by the administrators of the industrial
recovery act
Let this investigation be made q
matter Of special action on the part of
your central body or State Federation
Of Labor. Report all violations to the
Office OF the American Federation of
Labor, together with supporting facts
and information which can be used in
submitting complaints to the proper
governmental authorities in Washington
We will submit all complaints filed, with
I-s-
vestigated, and If the complaints are
sustained that the Blue Eagle Emblem
be withdrawn from any and all who
fail to conform to industrial codes and
who violate the law or the rules of the
National Industrial Recovery Admins
tration in any way whatsoever.
please give both the request and the
recommendation herein made special
consideration and attention" -

Katharine Cornell
To Play Juliet

Katharine Cornell yesterday
announced that her plans for
next season are threefold. She
will make her first appearance
in a Shakespearean role; she will
take her first step toward estab-
fishing repertory company, and
she will make a coast-to-coast
tour, primarily to visit cities in
which she never before has been
seen.
Romeo and Juliet" has been
selected by Miss Cornell Tor the
debut in Shakespeare. This trag-
edy will be staged with great
simplicity, stress being placed
upon the play rather than upon
the paraphernalia. Last winter
the actress made her first appear
ance in a classic role in "Lu-
crece,' but not even in her early
days in stock has she ever acted
in Shakespeare.
After studying the problem for
some years, Miss Cornell next
fall will appear in repertory, pre-
Senting three first rate dramas
and assembling what she hopes
eventually will develop into a
permanent ompany. With
Romeo and Juliet" as her new
production of the year, she will
also produce Bernard ShaW's
Candida" and Rudolf BeSier'S
"The Barretts of Wimpole Street, I"
thus offering three we'll con-
traSted dramas.

"When Ladies Meet" which
has proven the champion picture
of 1888 with the women movie
goers, is continuing its sensa-
tionally successful run on F Street
at the Columbia Theater.
This Rachel CrotherS comedy
drama represents the Hollywood
art in it's brightest aspect. The
story treatment follows closely the
dialogue used in the play, and it
is brilliantly interpreted by a cast
which includes Ann Harding,
Myrna 10y, Alice Brady, Robert
Montgomery and Frank Morgan
in the principal roles.
Ann Harding as the beautiful
and neglected wife in when
Ladies Meet" gets the choicest
role of her screen career and does
an impressive job with the oppor
tunity. Myrna 10y as "the other
woman" gives a thoughtful and
intelligent reading of we'll writ
ten role, contriving to give it
definite audience appeal. The
chief comedy assignment falls to
the lot of Robert Montgomery,
congenially cast, and he is ably
assisted by Alice Brady as the
