The horse in question, Dan Patch,
was the champion PAGER who cap
tured the nations fancy between
the years 1904 and 1916, and his
thrilling history. told in story form,
is the basis of the exciting film,
The Great Dan Patch" which
opens tonight at the Capitol The
atre through United Artists release.
The title role in the film is played
by another wonder horse discovered
on a ranch near Phoenix, Arizona,
called Visalia Able, who is the spit
ting image, so they say, of the
great Patch. barring a few minor
details which the astute camera
man could adjust easily.
The romantic story thread of the
picture which re-creates the excite
ment and color of the turn of-the-
century era, is carried by such top
stars as Dennis O'Keefe, Gail Rus
sell. Ruth Warrick and Charlotte
Greenwood, all of whom play char
acters connected with the life-story
of this champion PAGER. In support
ing roles are Henry Hull, John
Hoyt, Arthur Hunnicutt and Clar-

18th Birthday

This week marks the beginning
OF the 18th year OF the Fair Labor
Standards act, popularity known as
the Vage-Hour law.
Trade unionists will recall that
when this law was put on the
statute books, back in 1858, i, was
called socialism. There were a lot
Of dire predictions by many business
men that it would do more harm
than good because ii would put a
terrible hardship on many indus
tries.
Well, what about it? What has
happened: Here's what Secretary Of
Labor Maurice Tobin has TO say
This laws basic principles OF
minimum wage and overtime pay,
and child labor controls. have proved
their worth to both industry and
labor.
ITO fair employers, the Wage
Hour law means assurance OF pro-
lection IRON competition based on
sub-standard labor conditions. It's
provisions have brought the nations
workers more than Sl2OOOO,OW IN

1T is especially heartening to
know that the Wage-Hour law IS

Cotton Pickers End
Strike in Calf.

The National Farm Labor Union
AFL announced today the final
settlement Of a strike involving ~
600 cotton pickers in California.
H. L. Mitchell, president, said
that the workers won a wage m
3screase Of so cents per 100 pounds
@ior picking the cotton crop, equiva-
lent TO 81 per day for each worker.
The union had originally demanded
a picking rate OF $500 per 100, but
accepted $3.50 offered by the Cali
fornia corporation farm wners. The
strike lasted in some areas approx
imately 3 weeks, but wherever the
wage reached the $3.50 figure, the
union members returned to work. A
number OF growers on what is known
as the Westside in Fresno county
finally agreed to the $3.50 rate after
the State Mediation and Concillia-
ton service interviewed. The huge
Westside cotton growers agreed to
begin paying the wage on Monday,
Oct. 40.
During the strike IA leaders and
union organizers were arrested Tor
peacefully picketing on public high
ways. The strikers were jailed Tor
leading caravans Of automobiles on
the public roads and calling out to
pickers who had not lett the fields
that a strike was on and the union
was demanding an increase III wages.
This activity was held to be III vio.
lation OF county a%nti-noisc ordinA
anccs adopted in both Fresno and
Kings counties at the request OF the
notorious associated farmers, an an
ti-labor organization sponsored by
the corporation farmers. The union
members were released on $500 bail
supplied by the California Fedora
ton OF Labor.
An aftermath OF the interference
by local authorities with peaceful
picketing during the strike came III
a suit filed in the San Francisco
superior court against law enforce
ment officers and the board OF SUI
pervisors Of Fresno county and the
associated farmers inc, on Oct. =.
