For Lewis to Save Face;
Miners Want to Work
By the Associated Press.

PITTSBURGH, Nov. l2.-Oper-
ator and miners joined Today in pre-
dieting that any stoppage of coal
digging in the steel company owned
captive mines because of the union
shop controversy will be short lived
If it develops.
There was a general reluctance of
spokesmen in both groups to per-
NIT use of the names commenting
on the tightening crisis, but there
was no reluctance in expressing
opinions.
John l.. Lewis now has the op-
portunity. both to save his face in
this controversy, and to get the
spotlight for one of his dramatic
acts" declared one of the leading
commercial producers. all of whom
are keeping close watch on the
situation.
He long has wanted a proper set
ting to tell off the President and
others. and he now has it con-
tined the spokesman Then when
he gets through telling them what
he thinks, he can gracefully declare
he and the union will not fight the
Government, but will bow to an un-
fair decision at this time
WalkOut as Demonstration Seen.
This same spokesman said there
was a possibility that Mr.. Lewis
might call walkout of the Nations S

between the commercial soft coal
operators and the United Mine
Workers of America headed by Mr.
Lewis. for instance, by calling for
an indefinite period of mourning"
for miners killed in accidents.
The agreement contains union
shop clause-providing that all
miners must join the union after
stipulated period of employment
the proposal which Mr.. Lewis wants
for the captive mines and for which
the National Defense Mediation
Board recommended rejection.
Captive coal mines are operated
hv the steel companies for their own
exclusive use.
This operator pointed out that the
Nation now has 60000000 tons OF
soft coal in stock, far above normal,
and that there has been such a
slackenlng in commercial demand
that many mines are reducing
schedules to two and three days
week.
A shutdown in the commercial
pits therefore might not be felt so
quickly by the general public, but
would be certain to affect steel pro-
duction Immediately.
Mills Coal Supply Shrinks.
A check at the huge Clarion by
products plant of the United States
Steel Corp. disclosed the supply of
coal there has dWlndled to about six
days for big mills in the district.

AIeutian Cratk-up
 'Not Very Exciting

It took two starts for Alaska from Seattle before some of the northbound passengers aboard the Yukon, which reached here last night, were able to get into the Territory, for many of them, in- cluding several who debarked here were aboard the Aleutian, which turned back after a run-in with Ripple Rock in Seymour Narrows early last Wednesday.
 Aleutian passengers humorouSly termed their trip the "Aleutian ex- cursidon to Ripple Rock" and de- clared that there was no panic o1 worry among passengers aboard the ship when it hit the rock and damaged it's double bottom.
 The accident, which occurred al 4::30 a.m., shook a number of pas sengers from their hunks, several of whom hurriedly donned life pre- servers. Returning to Seattle, the ship was tilted on decided list Lo starboard, the passengers stated. They said that the public address system on the boat warned all to keep calm and reasurred them that no real danger existed. Part way back to Seattle, some passengers said, the Aleutian was joined by another steamer, which trailed the damaged boat to port, presumably to take off passengers if anything further went wrong.
 Water taken into the hold dam- aged some cargo, it was said, and particularly some of the parcel post sacks for the Westward, with Christmas packages described as completely soaked.
 During the wait in Seattle be- tween their arrival on the Aleu- tian and departure the next night on the Yukon, passengers were fed aboard ship and treated royalty by the Alaska Steamship Company, they reported.

CAPITOL SHOWS STORY OF ERA
 OF zIEGFELD
''GIorified Girl" Is Back ground for "ziegfeld
 Girl" "-Strong Cast

Bringing all the lavish back ground of the "Glorified Girl era of Florenz ziegfeld days, Metro Goldwyn Mayors extravaganza "ziegfeld Grl opened yesterday at the Capitol Theatre. The length of the film makes 1t necessary for the feature to start at 705 o'clock, and the theatre opens at 6:30 o. clock.
 With an excellent cast of top flight stars, the film tells the story of three showgirls who set out to see more of life in a shorter time than is usual. The first, character lzes the daughter of Edward Gall lagher of Gallagher and Shean, wins stardom, eventually creating an opportunity for the success of her father and his vaudeville part ner.
 The second, wife of an impover- shed violinist, finds that she still loves him and wins him back, al- though he had left her in protest against her acceptance of the job.
 The third, department store ele- vator operator and policeman's laughter. takes the easy way of admiration and gifts, and ends in misery and dies on the opening night of new edition of the 'ziegfeld Follies."
 The three show girls are por- trayed by Judy Garland, Lana Tur- ner and Hedy Lamar, and James Stewart is the male star. Others in the cast are Tony Martin, Jackie Cooper, Ian Hunter, Charles Win ninger, Edward Everett Horton and Felix Bressart

TEEN AGE KIDS HEAD CAST OF
 NEW PICTURE
2Oth Century Is Showing Story of InterIothen
 Music Camp Work

One of the most delightful and refreshing pictures to come in quite some time opened last night at the 20th Century Theatre. It Is Paramount's new comedy musical, There's Magic in Music"
 Clever, bright and melodious, the story is about hoydenish young burlesque queen with mag nificent voice, who becomes an opera singer. It is hilarious story that the picture tells, and the mu- sic, as played and sung by many brilliant performers, is really en- thralling.
 Boosting an impressive cast, the new film arrival features the gold en-voiced starlet, Susanna Foster: Allan Jones. in better voice than ever before; beautiful Margaret Lindsay and Comedian Lynne Ov- erman. In addition to these screen favorites there are also in the cast three of operas greatest singers: Richard Bonelli, Ira Petina and Tandy Mackenzie, all of whom make their screen debuts in this picture. Even the brilliance of these operatic stars, however, is not enough to dim the shining musical and acting talents of five teen age youngsters who do much to bright en the picture. They are Heimo Haitto, young Finnish violinist; Patricia Travers, Dolly Loehr, Kaye Connor and William Chapman.
