ATTEND new
WLB FARLEY

SEATTLE, May IL. = A show
cause hearing is in progress in the
Regional War Labor Board offices
here to determine why the Alaska
Juneau Gold Mining Company
should not pay retroactive increases
in wages ordered by the WLB Mo-
Ivember 26.
Members of the unions are in at
tendance, but officials of the COM
Ipany did not appear, stating by tell
egram the company felt that the
Board had no jurisdiction and that
the company does not intend to pay
the retroactive wages.
The company was unable to meet
the demands of the union after the
contract expired last May and the
War Labor Board ordered an in
crease of IA cents per hour for the
new contract, to be retroactive to
last May.
The mine closed down operations
after its appeal to this decision was
turned down.

ecutive Officer. is reported to have
been one of the last to leave the

LAUGH HIT IS
CURRENT FILM,
10th CENTURY

Hilarity hit new high last night
when Warner Bros latest laugh
hit, &c George Washington Slept
Here" opened at the goth Century
Theatre. Jack Benny's antics kept
the audience in constant state OF
laughter, and proved, beyond all
doubt, that his work before the
camera becomes more polished with
each successive production.
The story, in brief, has to do with
an average American city-reared
couple and their endeavors to re-
store a shambles of a dwelling
where George Washington once
slept.
The couple, played by Jack Benny
and Ann Sheridan, move and are
INSTANTLY swallowed amidst piles OF
gravel, falling plaster and decrepit
plumbing.
Matters go from bad to worse
when they are visited by rich and
eccentric uncle, portrayed by
Charles Coburn, whose favor they
are forced to court. Add to this
an impish nephew whose antics
would put Peck's Bad Boy to shame
an impressionable adolescent niece
and her jitterbug boy friend, leth-
Iargic caretaker, brilliantly played
by Percy Kilbride, with all the time
in the world, and you have the in
gradients for story that will play
havoc with your laugh machinery.

Ap- pies were purchased in 10 states of the northeast including Con- necticut, where the hurricane of September IA and 15 damaged the apple crop.
 The apples went to fresh use and to canning crews in schools and hospitals of many different states, ranging as far as North Dakota, Me- braska, Texas and Florida. Though many of the apples were used in the states in which they were pro- duced; apples in good condition were shipped to the more distant schools and hospitals which could use the fruit. A large part of these apples were canned for future use, by school lunch committees and by the hospi- tai StaffS.
