JESSIE STEVENS
 AT HOME AFTER
 TRIP TO MARKET

Following a business trip of sev- eral weeks, Mrs. Jessie Stevens re- turned on the Princess Norah and reports having attended the Buyers Week exhibition at Seattle recently
 While outside she visited her sis- ter who had been in ill health, and during her stay in Seattle she was guest at the New Washington Ho- tel
 One of the interesting develop ments, Mrs. Stevens said, was the new styles currently prevailing and in view for the immediate future.
 From the Paris buyer of the l. Magnin & Co.,, of Seattle came a cable in which it was stated that Paris stylists of the feminine mode have decreed skirt lengths remain he same, thus setting at rest such rumors as may have gone the rounds. Said Mrs. Stevens. further, she had succeeded in getting some new spring lines to liven up the local scene, and by comparing the situa- ton in Juneau with that prevailing elsewhere, the folks up here should be gratified with the conditions in
 the Territory.
 The unreasonable weather gener- ally prevailing in the States, she 1 concluded, made travel difficult with the result that most of hel
 ime was spent at Seattle, divided
 between visiting with her ailing sis
 ter and attending to the business
 interests of the Stevens shop. ATTENTION ROTARIANS

California Labor
Maps Boycott OF
Private Insurers

San Francisco (LPA)-Follow-
ing a decision at the state AL
convention here last week, the Cal
ifornia State Federation of Labor
has recommended to it's affiliates
an immediate boycott of all private
disability insurance plans.
Under the state laws, employers
must carry disability insurance,
either from a private insurance
company, or from the state pro-
gram.
Since the state program has
piled up what amounts to an an
nual profit of $25,000,OOO, there is
little doubt that the profits of the
private carriers have been as large
if not larger than those of the
state" the Federation points out.
"In an effort to retain their pro-
fits," the Federation says, "the
private carriers have opposed all
liberalization of social security
legislation in Sacramento and have
combined with employer groups on
anti-labor legislation.
pending amendments to the dis
ability law, boycott of the private
plans is the most effective weapon
available to labor in the state to
curb the power of the insurance
carriers"
