WARNING APPLICABLE HERE

Down in the States there is campaign underway which should receive attention here and no cost
 Information has recently come to the attention of power company employees and of technical in industry regarding a rather alarming hazard that has been found to exist in the handling of fuorescent lamps There is possibility of very serious injury by glass from a broken tube of a fluorescent lamp if there is cut from the glass if the powdered material (phosphor) from the surface of the glass enters wound or cut
 The extreme toxicity is in the powder which is used to line the interior of the lamp, commonly taining small percentage of compound of the metal berylium which has recently been found to be a very poisonous substance. The coating is used to give off visible useful light when it is struck by ultraviolet rays created when the electric current feeding the lamp energies the gas in the tube
 Lamp makers have begun experiments with syn thetc non-metallc powders a substitute for beryl lium but in the meantime it is extremely important that the lamp should exercise every caution in disposng of fluorscent lamp tubes, and above all, to

CHING GETS WORDSLIDE

Mediator Ching automatically re- marked that the coal strike could never be mediated and settled until both sides showed a more coopera- tive attitude. But this provoked an- other wordslide from Lewis.
 What do you mean by media tion?" he demanded. Why don't you use some on the operators to make them stop their highhanded oppression of labor?"
 T have no authority to make either side in this dispute do any, thing" replied Ching. All I can do is bring you together and help you settle your differences"
 Then what are we talking for if you have no authority?" below ed John L. Haven't you the in- terest of the American people at heart? Don't you know the diff ference between right and wrong.
 Now, wait minute" retortec Ching, curbing his temper. INC one is more desirous of see tho coal mines back in production thar l am, but this strike will never bt settled without some give-and- -tak, by both sides. I can only sugges and make proposals as we go along can't force either of you to ac cept anything. I'm no arbitrator.
 On this note, the meeting final ly broke up.
 Note-There is little prospect 0 settling the steel strike until tn coal strike is settled. For the stee companies won't start their fur naces until they are sure of coal

5CHApIR0 DELIGHT5. JUNEAU AUDIENCE. IN PIANO CONCERT

In his return Juneau engagement last night, Pianist Maxim Schapiro approached the temple of music with reverence, but no false piety. He gave intelligent and sensitive performance to program built along traditional lines, with a ges- ture to the moderns.
 That gesture? A series of quick, light mods to Virgil Thomson, in nine stimulating etudes. and deep low to Medtner, whose Two Fairy tales" were highlights of the pro- gram That in F Minor is a gem of radiant lustre, which Schapiro car essed out of the keyboard, the B Minor tale more vigorous, in bright, sharp colors.
 Thomson, noted New York music critic, is well known for his wit with words; his glorified finger Xercises dncluding "Ragtime Bass') show a like talent in tone. From the clean, poised opening notes of Beethoven's Waldstein Son. ata, Schapiro's audience in the 20th 1 Century Theatre seemed caught uI in a hushed, breathless spell.
 The artist, who is programming Chopin on all his solo concerts this [ fall in commemoration of the con- poser's death centennial, playec both familiar and little-heard works Chopin's poetry without drooling virility without hulging musica i muscles, were understandingly in

Naval Rebel-Capt. John Crom- melin, now leaking propaganda for the admirals, was not always such good friend of the admiralS Crommelin was the man who spill ed the beans on the secret Green Bowl Annapolis fraternity by which certain admirals have sometimes dominated the Navy. Crommelin claimed the Green Bowlers were fraternity by which the admirals helped each other get promoted.
 Utah Judges ROmance-Tbe FBI has dug up a report on Willis Rit- ter, appointed to be a Federal Judge in Utah, showing that back in OPA days, Ritter made some phone calls at government expense to a girl friend in Albuquerque; also that he took a trip to see her at government expense While Ritter never should have done this, still if all the private phone calls and air junkets made at government ex- pense were held against government officials, a lot of admirals, gener- als and even the Secretary of De- fense would be out of their jobs today

terpreted in the A-Flat Ballade, a tender "Berceuse," swift "Taran- tella,' nostalgia "Nocturne" post humous) and the Military Polon- aise,
 Schapiro reverted to Chopin for his closing encore, playing a lyric "Barcarolle" after the popular De- tussy Claire de Lune." In his second group, besides the Thomson and Medtner works, the Russian-born American pianist played the popular "Jeux dEau" of Ravel; Alma Brazileria, . a haunting rhythmic, sensuous work by Villa-Lobos, and the satisfy ing "Venezia Napoli' tarantella by Liszt.
 ogram notes: Thomson's Missing Etude'- a blank on the printed program-was a double glissando in waltz form, succeed ing the mislabelled "Aeolian Harp fingered glissando. For the infor- nation of those wondering as to the identity of Briggs Buchanan, he is one of many of Thomson's friends depicted in nine volumes of musical portraits).
 Members of the Business and Professional Women's Club, which sponsored the concert, were hostess es at the reception later for which Gov and Mrs. Ernest Gruening en- tertained in the Governors House.
 In conversation there, someone asked Schapiro what types of mu- sic had been individually requested in Juneau.
 "Ah," he turned to his question: CT, your Cesar Franck; also Mel ancholy Bacy', some boogie woogie, and-always-the Warsaw Con- certo.'
 If there were time and if Ju- neau wanted a concert grand piano enough, I should give, right now bo- morrow, another concert, and play every single number that was re- quested-providing of course, that the request was accompanied by a reasonable gift toward the piano. I should like nothing better than to play a big Steinway next time appear in Juneau"
 Schapiro. who has fallen under the spell of Alaska, has been here several days twice on this tour, and plans to remain until tomorrow, Sunday, if there should be fine weather.
 During the reception honoring the artist, BPWC officers presided at the supper table, which was cen- tered with an arrangement of paint ed daisies. Taking turns at the punch bowls were Mrs. c. J. (Hel- en) Ehrendreich, President; Mrs. Crystal Jenne, Mrs. Edna Heaton Lomen, Mrs. John Mccormick and Miss Elizabeth Mosher.

JOHN L. LEWIS ROARS

John L. Lewis was at his roar ing best when the coal operators met with Federal Mediation Chief Cy Ching on their first try to set tie the coal strike. While the meeting got nowhere, it certainly didn't lack sound effects.
 The northern operators-led by Harry Moses, president of U. S. Steel's H. c. Prick Company, and George Love, of the Pittsburgh Consolidation Coal Company-sug- gested that negotiations be based on Lewis last contract, which ex- pired June 30 The southern mine owners, led by Joseph Moody, did not want to go this far, contending there should first be reforms in the welfare fund
 Boiling mad, Lewis thundered T will not discuss the old contract Unless you gentleman are willing to talk about increased wages and payments into the welfare fund, as well as reduced working hours for the men who toll underground there is no purpose in my remain ing here"
 Turning baleful glare on Mos es, Love and Moody, he added wrothily that he might have known he would be wasting his time en- deavoring to deal with these econ- omic puppets of the United States Steel Company and the Cleveland Trust Company"
 The operator trio chuckled. They had been called worse names thar this by the eloquent miners boss.

CHAMBER HEARS REPORT ON (. C.
 BUILDING PLANS

Chamber of Commerce members this noon heard a report on the progress of the Coast Guard Build
 ing special committee, gave their
 okeh to four Congressional bills and
 one legislative bill, heard report

 He added that everything is going. strictly according to plan-quite unusually so.
 The Chamber put it's stamp of ap- proval on four House Bills recom- mended for approval by the legis- lative committee, including two bills aimed at government assistance to agriculturalists in Alaska, the S15 million housing bill and bill mak- ing it unlawful to take salmon in creeks, streams or rivers of Alaska by any means, except for personal use.
