1000 Delegates from u. S. and
Canada TO Attend Meeting in
Washington of Largest Inter
national in c. |. o.


WASHINGTON (UNS) - From
every coal section of the United
States and Canada delegates were

ton for the biennial convention of
the United Mine Workers of Amer
lea, c. l.. o.
Close to 1000 people, representing
the unions half million members,

what will be one of the most i'm
portant sessions in the U. M. w. AS
half-century history.
Reports on the unions condition
and the progress of the Committee
for Industrial Organization, of which
it is the largest unit, will be made
at the meeting.
'The past two years have been
eventful in this country, with the
United Mine Workers of America
playing a prominent part in labor,
economic, political and national
affairs" declares the United Mine
Workers Journal.
Membership AT Peak
1T is gratifying to state that the
United Mine Workers of America is
in the best condition in its history
There is peace in the entire indus
try. Wages have been increased
and the hours Of labor have been
reduced.
Working conditions throughout
the industry have been vastly i'm
proved. The organization has been
extended until it now covers every
mining field in the country. Our
membership is at its peak. We have
contracts in both the bituminous and
anthracite branches of the industry
that run for more than another year,
Members of the union enjoy
greater freedom and privileges than
ever before. There is perfect har-
mony in our ranks. There is deer
respect for and loyalty to the leader
ship Of the union.
THE mission of the union has moi
yet been fulfilled, but gigantic
strides of progress have been made
in the last two years."
Highlights of Year
In the last year the union has
renewed its contract with the OPP
orators, has pushed its organization
into Bloody Harlan county, KY,
and through District so has organ
lied thousands Of workers in the
gas, coke and coal products indus
tries, SO that at the present time
members of the u. M. w. A. handle
not only the mining of coal but the
manufacturing of large numbers of
its d~erivative products.
Only recently the union moved
into new Washington headquarters
in its own building, formerly the
University Club of Washington.
The convention, originally sched-
uled to be held in Constitution Hall
here, was moved to the Rialto Thea
ter, when the Daughters of the
American Revolution, owners of the
hall, cancelled a previous agreement
to rent the building to the U. M.
w. A. The D.. A. R. refused to alter
its decision despite pleas from the
Washington Board of Trade, which
feared the city might lose the $780,
900 to be spent by the delegates if
the convention were moved to an
other city.
Officers of the U. M. w. A. are
John L. Lewis, president; Philip
Murray, vice president; and Thomas

PLANNING
T0EXPAND WORK
President General Sends
Outline to Chapters
Throughout u. S.

Mrs. Henry M. Robert. jr.. president
general Of the Daughters Of the Amer
ican Revolution, has launched a new
plan to coordinate and expand the
activities OF $500 chapters of the So
ciety, through instructions just sent
throughout the country
The publication-in the form of a
comprehensive brochure contains
letters written by each national COM
mittee chairman explaining the work
of the committee. and outlining the
1889 program of activities for each
chapter chairman.
In announcing her plan, Mrs. Rob-
ert said:
The brochure will enable the chap
ter regent to know the program Of
work of all of our national committees,
and with knowledge Of requirements,
to choose the chapter chairmen more
wisely
The chapter regent together with
the chairman will be able to select for
recommendation to the chapter those
features Of the program which each
chapter, in view of it's size and loca-
ton. can reasonably expect to accom-
plish.
The brochure will enable the chap
ter regent to check during the year
upon the progress being made by each
chairman in carrying out the work
selected by the chapter.
1T is not expected that each chap
ter do all the work outlined. nor is it
expected that every chapter have a
chairman of every committee. Our
chapters vary in size from II to more
than 900 members The number of
active committees must be determined
therefore, by the size of the chapter
and local conditions"
Mrs. Robert explained the letters of
national chairmen outlining their pro-
grams, as contained in the brochure.
in no way would take the place of the
letters Of State chairmen or of meet
ings called by State chairmen.
State chairmen,.' Mrs. Robert said.
will outline their special State prof.
ects as usual and will assist all chap
ters in carrying out the national pro-
gram"
In the past only the larger States
were able to send out complete pro-
grams OF the work of the society to
their chapters. 1t is to aid the many
States in which limited budgets pre-
vent a close contact with chapters
that this brochure is prepared, Mrs.
Robert said.

DISNEY-S DWARFS
 THR0NC PLEASERS
Long-Heralded Gin e m a Has Great Opening at
 State Yesterday

Walt Disney's long-heralded Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" ar- rived at Warner Brothers State theater yesterday and proved to be charming and delightful entertain ment. It is doubtful whether the most popular living stars, best di- rectorS and cameramen, unlimited financial resources and wide range of subjects from which to choose would have produced anything as entertaining as this animated fea- ture length technicolor adaptation of one of the most loved of the Grimm Brothers tales.
 Disney and his staff of artists have created 8 beautiful heroine in Snow White herself, whose skin was white as snow, lips red as a rose, and hair black as ebony"
 Into the seven little dwarfs, they have instilled all of the personality and comic little quirks so definitely associated with Disney characters. Instead of treating them as unit, as they were in the original story, the studio staff gave them names and made each of them a distinct person. In fact, Doc, Sneezy, Dopey, Sleepy, Grumpy. Happy and Bashful have taken the screen world by storm.
 Meeting Snow White" the dainty, lovable little princess, on the screen is the same as greeting an old friend one has not seen for years. Her adventures begin when the wicked queen, jealous of Snow Whites budding beauty, first de- grades her to the level of scullery maid. Even then the queens magic mirror informs the sovereign that Snow White." though attired in rags, is still the fairest in the land.
 The palace huntsman is ordered to take the princess to the forest and kill her. But he permits her to escape. She is befriended by the pitying birds and animals and finds refuge with the Seven Dwarfs in their woodland home. Thither comes the wicked queen in the guise of a witch. Snow White" eats a be- witched apple given her by her rival, and falls into death-like slumber. So lovely is she that the dwarfs, instead of burying their beloved lit- tie housekeeper. place her in coffin of glass and gold by which they keep watch. The tiny chaps have already wrecked vengeance on the witch, who has fallen to destruction over a precipice. Then came the hand some prince, who loved Snow White" when she was only a scul- lery maid, awakens her with kiss, and the sweetheartS leave together for their castle home.

rooms and the man she loves, but fate takes hand when two men battle for her.
 The first is Eddie Miller, por- trayed by Alan Curtis, Hollywood's newest leading man discovery. The second is John l.. Hennessey, a part which gives Tracy a rugged charac- terization as a wealthy steamship owner who rose from Hester Street. Surprising story twists lead to a dra- matic climax when Hennessey> goes broke and Jessie finally finds hap pinesS in three rooms.
 Miss Crawford, never more beau- tifully goWned, wears twenty eight costume changes, designed by Adrien as an advance fashion pre- view of feminine styles for 1888.
 In prominent featured roles are Ralph Morgan; Mary Phillips, New York stage actress; Leo Cor cey, who plays the same type of swaggering waterfront tough role that brought him fame as Suit" in the Broadway stage production of Dead End";; Oscar O'Shea, vet eran character actor who was dis covered in a WPA theater project and scored an immediate hit in "Captains Courageous; Elizabeth Risdon and others.
 Frank Borzage, whose most re- cent film success was Big City," and who gave the screen Farewell to Arms" Seventh Heaven" and Street Angel, was the director.

BOY
 GETS MOVIE LEAD
Tommy Kelly Stars in The Adventures of Tom Saw
 yer at LOeW's POli

Another stirring chapter in show manship history has been written by David O. Selznick with his tech- nicolor production of "The Adven- lures of Tom Sawyer, due to open tomorrow at the Loew Poli theater.
 Here was a story property, Mark Twain's best loved and most widely known work, that was definite challenge to the resourcefulness of any producer.
 Selznick had to do more than simply make another picture out of the rich material which the book offered; he had to invest the pro- duction with the flavor of up-to- the-minute commercial snowman ship.
 His first ten-strike in bringing a modern touch to Tom Sawyer" was the nation wide talent hunt for an unknown boy to play Tom.
 Overnight Tom Sawyer became a vital, living personality, sharing the front-page news with Oriental and European war news, labor develop mcnts and the doings of congress.
 For nine months Selznick pressed his search for an unknown for the starring role, twice postponing pro- duction of the picture while the hunt continued.
 Finally, after more than 25,000

boys from all walks of life ill prac- tically every state of the union had been viewed, tested or interviewed, 12-year-old Tommy Kelly from the Bronx was selected as the unknown who would bring Mark Twain's un- forgettable character of boyhood to the screen.
 There was nothing of the ringer to Tommy. Son of a poor family, which has been on WPA relief for two years, he was totally unknown, absolutely inexperienced, but he showed that divine spark of per- sonality which suited him for the role.
 After revitalizing the very mane of Tom Sawyer with his talent hunt, after adding modern fillip with Technicolor, Selznick further dis tinguished production of the picture through his selection, as the direc- tor, of Norman Taurog, holder of an Academy Award for his direction of 'Skippy'', and admittedly Holly woods outstanding genious in the direction of juvenile talent.

 For the role of "Huckleberry Finn, Tom Sawyer's ragged crony, >Selznick selected Jackie Moran, un- forgettable youngster of Valiant Is The Word For Carrie" and other productions.
 May Robson appears as Aunt Pol ly, giving a characterization equal in scope to her spitfire grandmother in A Star Is Born. Walter Bren- nan, also holder of a Academy Award for his character work, takes the part of Muff Potter, the town derelict.
 "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, which is released through United Artists, is glorious, thrilling enter tainment and to miss it is to miss one of your greatest experiences in a motion picture theater.
 'No Time To Marry, hilarious comedy will be shown on the same program.
