Cal. Labor Heads Hit By
S. F. Union for Defense
of Expelled Misleader

SAN FRANClSCO---A blunt warn
ing to the Executive committee Of
the California State Federation of
Labor 10 mind its own business, was
issued by the Sailors Union of the
Pacific in a Sbarply-worded resolu-
ton severely condemning the eS-
eeutive committee for its recent ac-
tons in attacking the rank and file
while rushing to the support of the
reactionary Paul Scharrenberg, who
has been ousted from the union by
a coaStwise vote.
A second resolution called upon
the National Executive Committee
of the international Seamen'S Union
to deny any appeals which Sehar-
renberg may see fit to make, and
also called upon President William
Green to refuse Scharrenberg MEM
berShip in any American Federation
of Labor union.
300 Attend
The meeting, attended by over
three hundred sailors, also voted
unanimously to open the union
books to any former Marine Work
erS' Industrial Union members. To
make the motion really effective, an
amendment was added, demanding
that any official who Disseminated
against MWlU men be tried, and if
found guilty, be expelled from the
union.
Two MWlU members were voted
into the union on the strength OF
the motion.
A motion, calling for conStitu-
tional changes which would allow
chairmen of the meetings to be
elected from the floor, was also
passed, and will go to a coast-wiSe
vote. The motion cenSuring the
state federation reactionarieS will
be sent to other locals for concur
renee, and will also be sent to the
Maritime Federation for ratification.

N. Y. Radio Operators Tie
Up Huge Liner, Get
Large Wage Increases

NEW YORK-Once again organ
lied labor has shown its power.
Unexpectedly, an hour and half
before the Super-liner, "S.S. Man
haitian" was scheduled to sail
from New York with a record pass
enger list and some 5000 sacks OF
mail, its three radio operators walk
ed down the plank, ignoring the
order to get back to work" from
whitefaced Capt. A. b. Randall.
wen come back if we get the
8-hour day and a closed shop" they
answered, joining President Hoyt
Haddock OF the American Radio
Telegraphers' Association ON the
dock.
Win In Hours
Some five hours later they went
back with the S-hour day, decided
wage increase and the promise of
further negotiations for closed shop
on the entire line. 1t cost the INN
pretty penny for the delay in sail
ing, but they have only themselves
to blame. They have constantly re-
fused to deal with ARIA.
Manager A. j. Mccarthy was
quick to show up, however, when
the strike broke. Radio operators
sent as Strike-breakerS, either re-
fused to Scab on learning the situa-
ton, or were unable to handle the
complicated radio Set-up, which
only limited number Of men
know.
Big Wage Boosts
As result the frantic company
spokesman soon came to terms.
Wages were boosted from $40 for
the chief and sos for the two as
sistantS, to SiS5 for the chief, si75
for the first assistant and St6S for
the additional assistants.
An S-hour day was granted, which
was the reason for increasing the
force from three to five radio OPP
orators.
The company then signed a tenn
porary agreement establishing the
S-hour day on all its ships and sub
hitting the question of wages and
closed shop to arbitration. The
arbitrated wages are to be retro
active to June 10th.

The weather man may have
more than his usual say as to
where the major league pennantS
shall fly this year.
He's the man who sends cold
and rainy days, causes headaches
at the box offices, makes pitching
problems for club managers and
doubleheaders for disconnected
ball players.
He has no official say in base
ball and yet he has more power
over ball clubs than Judge Ian
dis. He's the man Charley
Grimm, happy minstrel of the
Cubs, is depending upon to land a
pennant for Chicago in the Ma

little Irishman IN high esteem.
Last summer when Washington
ballplayers fell like leaves, little
johnny Kerr stood firmly in the
infield and played good ball. He
hit we'll in streaks and finished
the season with an average Of
better than .275.
Johnnie is a native of San
Francisco and now lives in Coffey-
Vile, Kan. He is married to the
former Olive Tongier, of Coffey-
Vile. Mrs. Kerr is a niece of
Walter johnson.
Johnnie has had a vast eX-
perience since 1922 when he
started playing professional ball.
The Washington times., 1935-05-07

Garrett Waters play.
Although he has a rather un-
tried team around him-and Will
have for the next few appear
anceS in the series-Sullivan be-
ieves Eastern will eb heard from.
The youngster bases mis- views
on the fact his mates can hit and
hit unusually we'll for high school
players. Because of this power
he feels the team will collect many
a run to back up any extra pitch
ing he might be forced to offer.
Hitting Series
In regard to this hitting, the
series this year promises to pre-
sent several big hitting games.
This really isn't unusual in that
campaigns of the past have pro-
duced contests of this sort and
nothing else.
But this season it's different
somewhat in that every team ap-
pears powerful at the plate.
Roosevelt's line up is especially
vicious at bat what with such
batsmen as Nicely, Lewis, Bailey
and the Coakley brothers on hand.
Tomorrow, Tech promises to send
. few hitters against the shoots
of Sullivan. Whitley Crawford,
who collected a triple and homer
against Western last week, will be
in action as will John Skinner,
slugging right fielder, John Snow,
hitting first baseman and George
Hahn, Shortstop, who whacked
out five for five against Western.
Budding Crew
To counter, Eastern will employ
a young but budding crew of hit
terS. Gawky Bartoo, Al Hebrew,
Joe Kidwell and Russell B0yCe
comprise a smuggling infield array,
while Joe Crisaful. Goofy Jacobs,
George Tucker and Red Scheible,
the latter of basketball fame,
make up an outfield array which
Coach Chief Guyon contends will
hit with the best of them.
BY winning tomorrow Eastern
can prove it's hoped-for power in the
race in no little terms. Support
ers naturally will pull for this turn
of affairs, since then the battling
for the title will be so close and
palpitating that the series will be
interesting to the very end.

quently to come through with a

This year Kerr is installed at

SHINE
IN NEW FILM

Forsaking All Others, - the
most studded films since Din
ner at Eight,'' starts thre days
run at the United Artists commenc-
ing tomorrow.
With cast as large and mag
nificent as the last year hit, the
new picture is revolutionary in sew
eral respects. In the first place the
cast is headed by three outstanding
stars, Joan Crawford, Clark Gable
and Robert Montgomery, who, while
they have played in teams, have
never before appeared together.
Perfectly cast, they comprise what
could be called the ace triangle of
the year.
Secondly, the new picture has a
verve and pace not the slightest
bit weighted or slowed down by the
enormity of its cast. This is due
to the brilliant direction of w. S..
Van Dyke, who with this picture eX-
GELS even his smash hit, 1.-The Thin
Man, and the excellent individual
performances of each player.
Reveals New Side
AS a light coincidence, Joan Craw-
ford reveals a new side to her many
admirers. She is par excellence as
Mary, Parkavenue-ite who is left
standing at the altar one minute
and is pursued by two of New
York's dashing males the next.
Clark Gable and Robert Mont
gomery both deserve her by merit
of outstanding performances.
Billie Burke as the nervous So
ciety matron; Charles Butterworth
(of the "dead pan'') as Gable IS
closest friend; Frances Drake as
the dark-haired siren, and Rosalind
Russell as Eleanor, the girl friend,
all turn in billiant performances.
The modernized Victorian settings
by Cedric Gibbons and E. B. Willis
are the best you III see this year.

CARS Of
NEW DE S0T0S
ARRIVE HERE

Two more carloads of the new
1885 "airfloW" and "airstream'
De Sotos were received yesterday,
according to Russell Haas, DeSoto-
Plymouth distributor for Imperial
Valley
I'VE find a tremendous demand
for the cars" Haas said. I'm add
ition to the two carloads just re-
ceived we have five more on the
way from the factory. However, in
spite of the demand I wish to as
sure the public that we can take
care of all orders promptly" Haas
declared.
New lines, many mechanical
improvements, which Chrysler pro-
ducts are noted for, and the fact
that we can supply orders promptly
make the DeSoto probably the
most popular car in its price class.
In the DeSoto the prospective
automobile owner knows he will
get the very best and newest. Prac-
tically every car on the market
this year has adapted some form
of Chrysler's advanced streamline
styling and construction. Chrysler
engineers, however have always
been in lead in any new fundamen-
tai development in the motor in
dustry. Anyone who hasn't seen
these remarkable new DeSotos
owes it to himself to do so If he is
to keep up with the newest trends
in the motor car construction. We
are proud to invite everyone to our
showrooms to inspect them closely.
"The 1885 Plymouth also offers
host of new and advanced fea-
lures and is meeting with great
favor. According to D. S. Eddins.
president of the Plymouth Motor
corporation, Plymouth sales for
the first two weeks in January this
year totaled 1898 units, compared
with 3,317 units in the same pc
riod of 1884 He has Ninted out
that this is an increase of III per
cent

orders for nearly 100000 new cars

met Mr.. Twistytail, the fat pig

and he was so large and fat that
the sadness seemed to stick out
all over him.
why, Mr.. Twistytail, what's the

Mrs. Twistytail is very ILL.,

I am sad and unhappy. I thought
perhaps if I came to see you that
you could cheer me up. Twinkle
your pink nose for me. That always
