ioc REDcAP RATE GOES INTO
EFFECT


New York, June, (CNA)-The new
flat rate of 10 cents bag for red caps,
which has been tried out in various
cities outside Of New York City since.
May /. went into general effect on June
/, with the publication of a joint an
nouncement by the Lehigh Valley,
Long Island, New Haven, New York
Central and Pennsylvania Railroads.
The railroads claimed they were con-
fident the new system will make red
cap service more efficient and satisfac-
terry to all. But the porters failed to
echo these sentiments. From the out
set the red caps have vigorously con-
demned the new policy, declaring it re-
duces them to near ar-starvation wages.
Under the system the porters must
turn every dime over to the railroads,
receiving in return flat wage of $2.40
day. The men point out that the
imposition of regular fee for service
will discourage tips from passengers.

South of the Border Tavern, dowr
Seven Corners way, had its day II
court Thursday.
Il seems as though they have
bouncer down there who is mute.
During disorderly moment, thu
gentleman performed as expected. 81
thorough that it became police mat
ter, the gang was hauled in.
During the course of the trisi during
which everyone talked except the maj
involved, the question arose as K
whether or not he was an employee
AS is usual in such cases, everyon'
said no.
City Attorney McHale, not quite
satisfied wrote the question on a piece
of paper, and handed it to the defend
ant. OF course he did not hear the
testimony, so he nodded an affirmative
Circumstances were such that he
was acquitted, but good laugh was
had by all.
There seems to be great deal OF
comment over the proposed departure
Of two boys, Bill Strader. and Nelson
Peery, for Citizens Military Training
Camp next month.
In itself this is very fine thing, bu,
for boys to apprentice themselves as
soldiers, is no more worthy of COM
ment than if they did the same as
plumbers.
People. even great many ex-soid-
iers themselves, do not realize that
soldering is trade to be learned, il
one wishes to follow it successfully.
The success in this case, though. does
not involve dollars and cents, but life
itself.
No man, however patriotic, can ex-
pect to match bayonets with man
who knows the technique.
Most unusual are the antics of some
of our leaders who think that they
have discovered something in this
CMTC thing.
For their edification we will say that
Baker Post right here in Minneapolis,
started the wheels to turning that gave
America her only CMTC camp, bring
ing it to life through the channels oi
the American Legion.
At the time we had thought that Ne
groes of America would get behind
the plan with the resultant expansion,
for one camp does not nearly fiji the
needs for Negro youth of America.
Now after thirteen years, with war
upon our threshold, they are making
their bid for glory.
Baker Post expects to give the ma
ton three more camps, providing war
does not interfere with the program.
1t seems strange though, that we
would have to fight for the establish.
ment of such training for our youth
and then have to raise one of the only
two boys in this locality to take ad
vantage of it.
Now if people want to support some
thing worthwhile, why not supper

 Grew Victories

Probably no person in Juneau en- joyed the University of Washing tons varsity and jayvee victories yesterday in the famous Pough- keepsie Regatta more than Bob Schoetttler, Manager of the Bar anof Hotel
 Schoettler rowed for the Huskles four years at Poughkeepsie, pad ding the Hudson first ir the Frosh crew of 1925, with the jayvee in 1926 and with the varsity in 1927 and 1928.
 The varsity boat in which the Huskies won yesterday, is named after Loyal Shoudy, head surgeon with Bethlehem Steel, and who is stoutest sponsor of Husky oarsmen. A close friend of Schoettler's, the popular hotel man received addi- tional pleasure from the Knowledge that Washington had named their victory craft after Shoudy.

'BLACkMAIL'' NEW PRISON DRAMA AT
 CAPITOL THEATRE
Edward C. Robinson Plays in Greatest Role of
 His Career

With a thrillinely entertaining tory plus spectacular background, cenes of intense dramatic action weep across the screen in Black nail" starring Edwaro G. Robin on at the Capitol Theatre.
 In vivid outline against roarin , oil well fires, the love of man for his wife, and an unjust in- generation in jungle prison camp Robinson portrays vitally new characterization which IS per haps the most dynamic role he has brought to the screen since ne first blazed his way into public notice.
 The story teens with action from the very first scene when an oil well fire is dynamited, right up to the very climax in which. Robinson drags Gene Lockhart, his enemy and betrayer. up to the brink of flaming pit in the enactment of one of the screens most gripping scenes of terror and revenge.
 Robinson is cast as an oil we'll shooter who tries to live a new life under an assumed name afte an escape from prison to which he had been unjustly sentenced. Along comes the real criminal in the person of Lockhart, who, profess ing humility and friendship, tricks Robinson, secures his confidence blackmails him, and then has him returned to the prison camp.
 It is an utterly sympathetic roie for Robinson. He promises lis wife played by Ruth Hussey, and his son, eight-year- old Bobs Wat son, that he will not attempt an escape, that he will come back tc them with his record clean. But he learns of Lockhart's further treachery, seethes within himself as he burns for revenge, and al last makes a dash for liberty SC that he may carry out his ven geance against the man who hao betrayed his trust
