Dave Wright. generally known as
California Jack" an employee in
the Libby mill, was injured prob
ably fatally, about 3 o'clock this
morning when the flesh of his abdo-
men was caught in a set of cogs
and stripped down from his body
for a distance of almost l8 inches.
Exactly how the accident occurred
cannot be learned this morning, and
little is known Of the injured man,
except that he worked at the mill
last year, and appears to have no
family. He was taken to the Koo-

For years Barrymore and Ratoff,

"All are superb tricksters." he
says. In the old days We called

MCLaglen's success comes from a
perfect sense of timing and never
ending ingenuity. Stone is among
the top-rankers if for no other
reason that his ability to steal shots

an artist at it before Mickey was

1t was unfortunate, perhaps, that
this discussion took place at lunch.
When Oakie talks about stealing
scenes he talks with his hands,
They have an annoying habit of
landing on your arm about the time
a bite of salad is halfway up.
Clever use of hands, incidentally,
Is the prime requisite Of a success

You can shave somebody out of
the way if necessary" Oakie says,
but usually it can be done more
deftly. AS soon as you put your
hands on another player you take
the scene. Maybe it keeps him off
balance, or maybe it distracts his
attention, but it works.
Another method is turning your
back on the camera. The minute
YOU do it all eyes are on you. Why,

often than policemen. During a

curity-First National Bank recently

stepping up to various windows and
no one paying the slightest atten-
tion.
Across the street is another bank
and Office building, and there, too,
the glamour traffic is heavy. Here
majority of the stars business
managers and agents are located.
The clients drop around often.
Another sure-fire gathering spot
is the theater preview of a picture
Or the premiere. OF this any
tourist who can read already knows
plenty. There is only one warn
ing: Those lights piercing
heavens displays might turn out
to be merely the opening of new
market or shoe black stand.
Since feminine stars are mere
women, they, too. frequent beauty
shops, and the lady star gazer from
Kansas might bump into Mary
Martin or Ellen Drew at West
more's or Ann Meredith's. Such
big spots don't get all the play.

Practically any evening Barbara
StanWyck and Robert Taylor will
be seen in a box there. They are
part owners Of the club. The Clark
Gables, Gail Patrick, Dorothy La
mour. Spencer Tracy, w. c. Fields
and George Raft are also habitual
fans.
The Hollywood American Legion
fight arena is always star sprinkled
every Friday night with such per-
sonalities as Jack Benny, Brian
Donlevy, Mae West, Lupe Velez.
Jimmy Cagney, George Raft and
dozens of others. But tickets must
be bought in advance. The fights
get heavy play and are sold out
nearly every week.
On Sunday mornings you can
catch up with few dozen stars at
church. In Beverly Hills and West
wood the congregations are literally
sprinkled with familiar screen
faces. Loretta Young is regular
attendant at one in WestWood. She
keeps taxi waiting outside for her
during the services.
1t takes little reasoning to decide
that either the Santa Anita track
in winter or Hollywood Park in
summer will be a balm for star
eager eyes. Buy a ticket to the
turf club section at either estab-
lishment catering to improvement
Of the breed and you'll be standing
elbow to elbow with producers, di-

Obvious. also, are the night spots,
such as Ciro's, Macomba, any of

out of this it is remark

movement" He emphasized that
Labor's program calls for clean
living, fine citizenship, human
happiness, and for advancement
of people as a whole that
Labor has always fought for hu-
man rights and liberty, and al
ways will"
During subsequent discussion
from the floor it was revealed
that local affiliates from all over
the state had purchased thous-
ands and thousands of dollars
worth of defense bonds, and
planned to go right on purchas-
ing them. The state organiza-
ton, it was revealed by Secre-
tary Donnelly, had purchased
$4,000 of the bonds alone.
A third resolution was
adopted making an appeal to
President Roosevelt to give
qualified members of the
American Federation of Labor
seat on all boards and COM
missions set up for national
defense, and also postwar
commissions as well as at the
eventual peace conference
board.
A fourth resolution appealed
to President Roosevelt that a
War-LabOr board be appointed
to arbitrate all labor diff
culties, especially since the
American Federation of Labor
had adopted ''nO-strike pol
icy" during the emergency.
Considerable discussion was
given over to the priorities
problem, and the shortage ex-
listing in copper, steel and zinc.
1t was brought out at the con-
ference that due to the control
of mining industries production
of copper has been held down in
order to keep prices up, and that
an all-out effort will be made to
reopen copper mines to relieve
shortages. 1t was revealed that
members of unions working cop
per mines are ready to go on a
24-hour basis.
Plans were also laid to work

Need Of Funds

Both the city and school
governments are operating
on short funds. With de-
partments in each case cut
to a minimum Of service
there still does not seem to
be enough money to go
around.
In the case of the schools
it is necessary to borrow
money on anticipated rev.
enue during nearly every
fiscal period. This situation
does not tend toward good
government.
Of course the reason for
this condition of local fin
ances is due to insufficient
returns from local taxation
Before the depression set
in the income from real es-
tate taxes was greater than
was needed. Consequently
the appraised valuation of
property was reduced. This
reduced the income from
this source. Then relief
loads became a burden.
Most of the expenditures
Of public officials are fixed
by law, therefore it is hard

Yet another motion, maze by
E. E. Baker, secretary of the
Newark Federation of Labor,
was referred to the executive
board of the state organization,
recommending that employers of
Federation unions be authorized
to deduct 10 per cent of sal
aries from pay envelopes for the
purchase of defense bonds in the
name of the worker authorizing
such action. Mr.. Baker in MAX
ing the motion suggested that
the action would have three
fold significance by
Helping to prevent infla
tion.
2-Reduce taxes.
3-Serve as cushion during
the postwar era.
Many official delegates from
Newark unions and the Newark
Federation of Labor were in at
tendance, including Edgar Tay-
lor, Walter Trickey, Forest
Muhleman, Walter Keller, Leon
Randaxhe, E. E. Baker, John
Gilger, Ray. L. Burdine, Harold

Willis Brown, George Embrey,

President Lyden, president at
the conference and as the meet
ing opened the Flag of the Unit
ed States was unfurled amid
cheers of the assemblage. Point
ing to it President Lyden said,
"That Flag will remain there,
too," as he called for the pledge
of allegiance.
Thomas j. Donnelly, secre-
tary-treasurer of the Ohio State
Federation of Labor, read the
conference call. 1t was explain
ed that the meeting was called
before the United States became
involved in war for the study of
the priorities system and it's af-
feet on non-defense industries,
but that although the national
scene had changed, labor's part
in the picture was that much
more important.
President Lyden in comment
ing on the largest delegation in
history at a state conference of
the Federation said that he was
sure something good will come
