cause of the widespread notoriety'

Judge Bowling announced that trial
of two of them would be postponed
indefinitely"
Five sharecroppers have already
been sent up for long chain-gang
terms on the framed charges.

ing the immediate release of all
those arrested, including those al

the numerous betrayals of the

the N. R. A. as "blessing to Ia

to the workers to join a federal

was a clear division of work be-

in his attempt to mislead the radi-

He thought that his contradiction
would remain unnoticed but he
was mistaken. Immediately after

Smith must show in action whether
he means what he says Rank and

for such program. Up to this time,
Mr.. Smith has failed to lead the
battle for united action against the

The Fisher Body strike committee

bring victory. The Fisher Body
strikers and others in some OF the
shops are fighting for the program
advocated by the A. w. u, which is
the only program that calls for unity
of action of all auto workers-enl-
ployed and unemployed, skilled and

such q policy will bring victory to

The rank and file strikers must
fight for victory not only against the
auto companies and their code, but
also against the misleaders within
their ranks. The striking tool and
die makers must urge and organize
the production workers in the shops
for the auto workers code. The
striking tool and die makers must or
gapize the tool and die makers in
the Ford plant. The rank and file
strikers and other workers organized
in the shop must rally to the call
Of the A. w. U. in building up a
strike movement OF all auto workers
and concentrate especially in giving
help and guidance to the many thou
sands of unorganized Ford workers,
We must build union that will
fight for a program of the auto
workers as against the code of the

 Coming to Garden

Showing at the New Garden to- day for the last times is Bondage" with Dorothy Jordan and Alexan- der Kirkland and "The Mind Reader" with Warren William and Constance Cummings. Heading a surrounding bill of fine short sub jects is "The Dentist" paramount comedy featurette.
 "Go slowly and carefully, ye who trod the primrose path" might easily be the moral of "A Scarlet Week. -End", to our mind, constitutes one of the most sen sational exposures of current social evils which has ever been brought to te screen. While 1t is not in any sense a pictorial preachment, its underlying theme fully sells the idea that our younger set is rap idly riding to hell mounted on swiftly revolving gin barrels. The picture serves to call to mind the fact that ever since the World War during which our boys and girls learned a contempt of old-fashion- ed morals, they have taken to the so-called modern type of social di- versions, which can, and do end most times in scandal, divorce, su- icide or murder. "A Scarlet Week. End" is strong medicine but we ad.- wise you to take 1t as a means of checking your own type of parties.

 To-day
Lionel Barrymore
 Comes io State

George Arliss' new hit 'rh6 Working Man." the finest contrIbu- tion he has given the screen since .dThe Millionaire" concludes Its engagement at Warmers State to- night.
 Tomorrow bring Lionel Barry more in Looking Forward"
 The pictrue tells a story or the modern business world and the effects of the depression on a great department store. Its title,. "I,ooking Forward" was selected hv special permission of President Franklin Roosevelt. The symbolic phrase was used by the president. as the title of his recently pub-' lished and widely acclaimed book.
 Barrymore as Benton, faithful old bookkeeper, has a role totally different from that of his sinister Rasputin, the part of the humble. clerk who finds himself facing a life crisis when he loses his job, resembling somewhat his famous Kringelein of "Grand Hotel."i Lewis Stone follows his fine work in "The White Sister" with the role of the merchant prince in the present picture, and the two pop i,lar English screen and stage stars, Benita Hume and Elizabeth Allan, have the leading feminine roles.
 Supporting parts are filled by Colin Give, Alec B. Francis, Doris Lloyd, Halliwell Hobbes, Douglas Walton and a number of others.
 The picture is said to reach it's most dramatic heights in the con- fict between the loyal daughter and the shallow wife, in the stir ring sequence in which the mil- lionaire finds his cherished busi- ness smashed to the wall, in the bookkeeper's fight to rehabilitate himself, and in the touching cli- max in which this old, faithful em- ploye saves his store from being annihilated by chain-store or ganization.
 The companion feature, and an- other sterling entertainment, is Universals new thriller, "The Big Cage" starring Clyde Beatty and Anita Page with Andy Devine, Vince Barnett and Mickey Rooney. Edward c. Robinson is coming to the State on Saturday in "The Little Giant"

Hollywood-Although she made an immediate success in motion pictures, Katharine Hepburn, whom Hollywood terms the great est sensation since Garbo, hasn't always been that fortunate.
 A few years ago, the brown haired actress life was made up largely of disappointments. It was about four years ago that she started her stage career-a career marked by losing jobs almost as rapidly as she could get them.
 1T never had any trouble getting a job, but I always was thrown out of the show before 1t opened" said Miss Hepburn.
 With, characteristic frankness, she makes no attempt to hide the fact that over considerable per- iod of time stage directors regard ed her as a flop.
 Decides On Stage
 Following her graduation from Bryn Mawr, and just when every one figured she was ready to be- come one of the leaders in the younger social set of her home town of Hartford, Katharine calm ly an deliberately shocked her family and friends by announcing that she was going on the stage.
 A stock company in Baltimore provided her first opportunity for professional acting. But three weeks after she got there, the stock company went out of existence.
