edo. 1t had acquired the name of be-
ing a difficult town for industry
one where industry and labor tangl-
ed frequently The situation finally
became so acute that a group of
representative and conscientious cit
liens took it upon themselves to do
something about the matter And
The Toledo Plan resulted.
McGYddy FGthered Plan
Edward r. McGrady. former as
sistant Secretary of Labor, deserves
credit for establishing The Toledo
Plan. 1t is no magic formula but
a sensible and simple solution to
the industrial difficulties which
once paralyzed Toledo and cost the
city millions of dollars.
Under its terms a board was est
a5lished which is entrusted with
arbitrating labor disputes in the
city The Board comprises 18
members, including five labor men,
nominated by the Toledo Central
Labor union; five employers who
are picked by the chamber of COM
merce, aud eight members Large
IN the latter group are now num-
bered two lawyers, two judges, two
church leaders, retail merchant
and the county relief director.
Since its inception the board has
handled approximately $50 cases
nearly 10 per cent Of which have
been settled without the matter
coming to a strike. One of the mai
or advantages of the plan is that
that machinery OF the board is al
ways in operation. When a labor
crisis develops it is not necessary
to set up an emergency agency
to handle the dispute AS result
the difficulty comes up for discus
sion and differences are aired ano
adjusted before the matter gets
out CT hand. In short, potential
strikes are nipped in the bud.

PRETTY GIRLS SEEKING FAME
 ON BROADWAY
Doomed to Disappointment -One Job for Doz-
 ems of Applicants
By GEORGE TUCKER

NEW YORK, Feb. 17.-It is a pity that so many talented and pretty girls are doomed to disappointment and defeat on Broadway. But the endless supply for very limited demand has built up situation that is hopeless and in some respects downright tragic.
 Broadway today is filled with young girls walking the pavements locking for jobs. They can dance and sing. They are slender and pretty But the jobs aren't there
 George Hale. referring to a stack of 40 or 50 letters, shrugs and gazes out the window.
 All those letters are from young girls who want to come to New York for theatrical careers he says They write me letters and de- scribe their aspirations and ask me to help them. Yet, for all the shows I put on and the revues I create it is rare that I can use one Their experience is too limited To get here they must travel hundreds of miles for job that already has ap- plicants a dozen deep. And girls

with more experience"
 Are all those letters from girls wanting careers on Broadway" asked this man who has just re- turned from a highly laudatory trek along the Broadways of Eur ope. Over there they call him a "czar of beauty"
 "Yes,' he said, "all of them, and more come by every mail. Take one, any one, and read it." He pushed the tray towards my side of the table.
 The stack of letters was foot high. I chose one at random, a letter postmaked fom the little town of Elyria, Ohio, and this is what it said:
 Dear MT. Hale: AS I have the opportunity to come to New York within the next two or three weeks, I am writing to ask your opinion as to whether or not it would be ad- vantageous at this time.
 T have had some experience as a dancer and would like to be a chor- us girl in New York City.
 T am 19 years old, weight 116 pounds, height 5 feet, four one-half inches without shoes; hair, light au- burn; dark eyes; fair complexion.
 Since good looks are one of the requirements in this line of work, I believe I can be understood when I claim to be good looking
 Thank you for your consideration and I shall be waiting for a reply from you.'
 That is the pity of it, the reply that all too often doesn't come, and even when it does, as it always does from Hale, it is apt to be the end of a make-believe dream.
 I'll write her today or tomor- row." said Hale, "and the rest of them. But how I hate it, disap- pointing those kids who have their hearts set on a world that, for them, doesn't really exist"

COMEDY HIT NOW PLAYING
 AT CAPITOL
Pick a Star Stars Kelly, Laurel, Hardy and
 Robertii

Patsy Kelly knocks out Laurel and Hardy Jack Haley and Ro- sina Lawrence crash studio gates. Mischa Auer and Lyda Roberti as scineillating movie stars just "a few hilarious highlights of the op- ening showing of the Hal Roach M-G-M feature comedy, Pick a Star" which ends its Juneau show ing tonight at the Capitol Theatre.
 Featuring filmland's finest funsters and songers, Pick a Star is a mel odious, madcap, mirthquake of the movies. Waterloo, Kansas, was the beginning for Rosina Lawrence, a screen-struck girl with Jack Haley, the hometown boy friend; Holly wood, California, was the end of a barrage on the film sets with Patsy Kelly running riot and foiling the girl-crazy idol, Mischa Auer.
 Fun and glamour, songs and TO- nance, danc9rs and beauty are combined in this entertaining frolic behind the scenes of a Hollywood studio.
 Patsy Kelly, Jack Haley and Mis- cha Auer turn in sparkling perform ances to add to their comedy re- nown. Beautiful and youthful Ro- sina Lawrence scores brilliantly with her pleasing voice and skillful acting in the romanic heroine role to merit special commendation.

s4,000 LOSS IN FIRE AT
 LIvENCOOD
Fairbanks News-Miner)


 The cabin fire at Livengood Tues clay night resulted in a loss total- ing more than $4,000, it was re- ported in Fairbanks today by Sam Dracula who with Bert Berry came here with Pilot Bill Lavery.
 The estimate of the loss was made by c. H. (Alabam) LaBoy- teaux, the heaviest loser to the flames.
 Almost an institution in the Liv- engood, camp, the log cabin had been an open house to all corners since the fall of 1915 when it was built by Mike Kelly and Jim Shar- rard Later Pat O'Connor lived there with Mir. Kelly.
 Popular Place
 Kelly and O'Connor owned the place for many years, then turned 1t over to Frank Bowers.
 Alabam LaBoyteaux has lived there several winters, and the cabin door was never locked i The last men in the cabin before the fire were MT. LaBoyteaux and Bert Berry, trapper, who came in from Mike Hess Creek with his winters catch of fur which he left at the cabin.
 Mattson Gives Alarm
 While LaBoyteaux, Berry and Dracula were out, the fire started. It was first seen by Charley Matt son who gave the alarm. But it was too late, for the miners could do nothing to stop the blaze and the old structure was soon ruined.
 The cabin was a one-room log building with a large cache in front. Besides it's furnishings, it's contents included many rifles and shotguns, and big supply of am- munition that banged and whizzed up through the flames.
 For years visitors had used the place as a cache, and many per- sonal effects were lost.
 MT. Dracula had sack of jew elry-including two diamond rings and valuable watch--and poke of nuggets which he had left on a bunk while he awaited a plane to Fairbanks. He may find the mug gets in the ashes.
 Besides clothing, LaBoyteaux and O'Connor lost valuable papers. Mike Kelly, now in Juneau, will soon be notified of his losses.
 Closed Indefinitely"
 Frank Bowers, now staying at the Pioneer Hotel in Fairbanks, had left $50 in bills in his trunk He too is short lot of clothing While the losers to the fire were congregated at O'Connor's place in Fairbanks today, MT. Bowers is- sued an announcement:
 "The Hotel DeBowers is closed indefinitely"

 Mir. and Mrs. Ordway left for the south about the middle of last month. They flew by regular air liner to New York City and then returned by air to the Pacific Coast.
 Besides Mrs Ordway, known sur vivors are also son, about IT, now in Chicago The son visited Juneau last summer and accompanied his father on a flight that covered west ward and interior Alaska.
 Arriving in Juneau for the first time late in 1926, MT, Ordway was employed by the Alaska Electric Light and Power Company in May, 1927. He remained with the com pany as electricians helper and wireman for less than a year be- fore resigning to open photo graphic store on Front Street.
 Photography had been MT. Ord ways former occupation before com ing to Juneau, and it was not long before he had placed himself in the front rank of those engaged in that business in this city. After developing a thriving business at his original location on Front Street, he moved his store to its present location in the Shattuck Building on Seward Street.
 MT. Ordway was a photograph enthusiast. He was quick on the shutter and always ready for any photographing, having complete equipment for either commercial or private work.
 MT. Ordway was energetic as his career in the north testifies. He had flown out on all kinds of photographic work and few sections of the northland have not been visited by him. His shop in Juneau is one of the best equipped in the northland
 Herbert Neff, nephew of Mrs. Ordway, in charge of the shop here during the Ordways absence, re- ceived no details of the crash and knew nothing of the accident until informed by The Empire.
