Honor Bright Another Dramatic
Triumph for Seniors and MIR. Hayes

Compliments, Mr.. Hayes and seniors.
Your production, Honor Bright, went
over with what is technically known
as "a big bang The characterizations
were all excellent We all shed tears
of sympathy for poor Dick Darlington
when Tot proved refractory and refused
to let him 60 to marry the girl of his
dreams. We all very much admired the
humor, tact, and diplomacy that Hon
or showed in handling difficult corps
of servants. Maggie's broad Irish
broeue has left its imprint on each of
us, even as she imprinted her fist in
Watts eye.
As for cave-man Bill Drumm, every
one had three cheers for him as he il
lustrated the only way to handle the
tempermental Tot, who in her turn,
showed the real outcroppings Of an
artistic temperament
The ones that we all really fell for
were Lyle Austin as the absent-minded,
wel-meaning. poetry -spouting bishop
Judy Johnston, his sharp tongued but
also well-meaning wife, and Jean
Mooney, Richard Barrington's mother,
who like all mothers, trusted in her
sons judgement
AS for Harry Karnes' performance,
there is no explanation for it, but q
long suppressed and repressed passion

we wish to say that they couldn't have
found more capable person to play
the part of an action speaking, situa-
tion-saving reverend.

Truce AVerts Rioting in
Stockton Strike Crisis
FIGHT BETWEEN
UNIONS DELAYS
WALKOUT CALL
Pickhandle Army Ready
To Act; Governor
Steps In

STOCKTON, Cal, April
81. (UP) = While Governor
Frank F. Merriam interven-
ed to avert temporarily mass
strike war in this rich agri-
cultural area, an inter-union dis
pute developed which may frus-
trate labor's plans for a general
walkout OF all workers in San Joa-
quin county.
A tentative truce, called at the
request of the governors office,
minimized fears of an immediate
outbreak between Sheriff Harvey
ODells army of 1850 deputized
citizens, armed with pickhandles,
and union forces.
The truce, technically scheduled
to end tonight, may be extended
if Gov. Merriam can succeed in
mediating successfully the disputes
involved in a strike of cannery
and agricultural workers union
members at four Stockton cam
neries.
The conciliation meeting was to
be called at pm, with special
committees of cannery operators
and union representatives in at
tendance. Meanwhile the canneries
agreed not to attempt to reopen
the strikebound plants and unions
agreed to withdraw pickets.
Sheriff O'Dell's pick handle"
army remained ION call" 1t is
formed of volunteers who offered
their services in protecting work
ers who wished to return to work
in the plants, and pass through
union picket lines.
The San Joaquin county Cen
trail Labor council went ahead with
a general strike vote. Several units
of the 81 union organization have
notified the council they are in
favor Of a general strike in the
event Sheriff O'Dell'S volunteers
fail to disband and negotiations
are not resumed.
A controversy between the labor
and the building trades council
threatened to disrupt the general
strike plan, however.
Comprising II of the 81 unions,
the building trades council, thru
Howard A. Gibson, president, an
nounced the group was bound by
an April-to-April contract which
expressly forbade general strike ac-
ton under terms laid down by the
employers.
Walter Mahaffey, president of
the labor council, indicated that
the strike vote would continue,
with or without the building trades
council support.
IF the vigilantes take over the
town, every union man in the
city will stop work and run them
out" Mahaffey said.

YUMA NOTES
KARPIS CLUE

YUMA, Ariz., April 81. UP)-
Sheriff T. II. Newman said to-
day he believed members of the
Alvin Karpis gang, fleeing from
pursuit, crossed the internatiOn-
al line into Mexico southeast of
here two or three months ago.
=. The sheriff based his theory
on discovery of an automobile
found abandoned near the in
ternational line so miles south
east of here. He said two st.
Paul, Minn., newspapers, dated
a year apart, but carrying BAN
nerline stories on the Karpis
gang, were found in the car,
which was presumbably aban-
dcned in January or February.
Charred remnants of a suit
case and it's contents were found
nearby, leading the sheriff to
believe the owner or owners
buried it to destroy evidence of
their identity.
