A modern dance group, SYM
phony orchestra, plus circular stag
ing will treat Seattle's theatre-goers
TO the newest venture ever embarked
in this country.
On April ii at the Cirque Play
house, Eleanor King, choreOgra-
pher, dancer and teacher, opens
her spring repertOry season with
this new venture called: "a drama
tic symphony in movement with
orchestral accompaniment.
She, one of Miss Kings proud
est photographic works, will be pre-
scented for the first time with Or
chestration. This large work for
group tells about the power of wo-
men in our culture for good or evil
and dramatizes their tendency for
destroying that which they create.
Composer Lockrem Johnson will con-
duct the 11-piece orchestra made up
of musicians from the Seattle Sym
phony
The venture is destined to make
Miss Kings coming repertory the
i, talk OF the dance world. Yet her re-
pertOjy is but a small part in her
crusade" to make Seattle one of the
top centers for serious dance in the
West.
While considered by many as THE
creative dancer in the West today;
unlike most dancers, Miss King was
20 yeals old before she had her first
dancing lesson.
Eleanor Campbell King was
born in 1906 in MiddletOwn, Pa.
Her father. an inventor engineer
of subways, Travelled extensively
and so her early days with five
brothers and sisters were marked
with restless dreams of PARKWAY
places. Even today she is anxious
to go to Europe and wants to make
occasional tours from her Seattle
headquarter.
Ever since she was 10 years old,
she liked to act, write and dance
Miss King was the kind of girl that
wrote. produced and starred in her
own little plays in the playroom
theatre.

Her thirst for travel first took her
to Brooklyn where the King family
moved. Two years later in 1924, she
was graduated from Brooklyn high
school. She then entered New York
University, only to find that she
liked her first acting experience with
the Beverly Players in Brooklyn bet
ter than her journalism course. She
was 10 then and with that initial

IN
our times today, problems arising
from racial discrimination are OF
uppermost importance. In fact, peo-
pie think, talk and write about them
as if they were things born anew
like newborn babies.
Racial difficulties are not new
born babies. They are tired, old wo-
men who are weary of receiving vel
fare handouts, They are tired, old
men who want to be accepted by
society as equals as useful citizens.
The problems are no more than
the battle of the minds in which one
group feels superior to the other.
socially, economically and politically
These. according to simple us, are
The products which were produced
unhappily through the conquest OF
one nation over another. etc. (Which
is an easy way out of explaining
fnther).
Some of the historically vital facts
resulting in the current problems
were the drafting of the colored men
from Africa for slavery in this coun-
try. the British ruling over dissatis-
fled millions of brown people in In
dia, the conquering European ma
tions enjoying eXtra-territorial rights
on foreign soil (check-China) and
the more recent uprooting of Japan

Italians excluded from their homes
to inland relocation centers.
But as we were mumbling before
racial problems are no more than
the battle OF the minds in which
one group feels superior to the other,
socially, economically and polite
ally Perhaps if We followed where
the wild goose goes, we may learn
that the solution may be found by
educating the superior group. first

The government charges the firm

actual cancellation of "a hours

ment asked that such practices be
ended, and that the case be kept
open, after a final decree is enter

checked, and if it is found that the
firm has not reformed, that it be
required to sell its interests in SER

This final conclusion was OBJ

The closest thing to a conclusion
in the whole report was this para

recommendations:
"What then can be done to curb
the power of labor organizations
which are left free, under the anti

ed, to upset the banking and credit
structures of the country, regiment
industry under production and

WI Seeks Special
Wage Rate For Its
Messenger Boys

Washington (LPA) - The giant
Western Union Telegraph mono
poly is trying to wriggle out of the
rs cent minimum wage requirement
made into law by the last session
of Congress. In a hearing before
the Labor Departments Wage &
Hours Division this week, WI COM
planned that it couldn't possibly
pay it's messenger boys all that
money.
The messengers, who make So
cents an hour under present union
rates, are represented throughout
the country by Commercial Tele-
graphers Union -AFL and in New
York City by American Commun-
ications Assn.
Appearing at the hearings, sew
eral AGA members testified that
their take-home pay is only S23 a
week and that they have to supply
their own uniforms and pay for
their own bicycle repairs. They are
docked if a message takes longer
to deliver than the office manager
thinks it should.
Officers of the CTU pointed out
that Western Union is using the
same arguments it did in 1898 and
1871 hearings: that if it granted
the raise it would be forced to use
for physical delivery.
'They started substitutes such as
telephoning years and years ago."
the union heads told the Wage
Hour examiner, land they will con-
tinue to, regardless of the outcome
of this hearing"
The huge telegraph company
says that the raise would cost them
81 100000. The union points out
that's a small amount, coming out
of WU's total wage bill of more
than $170,000,C00.

|A.F.L. Education
Directors Hold
Winter Conference

Washington (LPA)-"Up0n our
shoulders depends the future cf
education for unionism," Mark
Starr told the winter conference OF
AFL educational and research dir
ectors, under the auspices of the
Workers Education Bureau. Starr,
educational director, International
Ladies Garment Workers, added
"We must deliberately train our
union people to teach unionism. We
cannot be bystanders in the forma-
tion of public opinion"
Glen Slaughter, research direct
or of Labor's League for Political
Education, and Nelson Cruikshank,
AFL expert on social insurance,
also spoke at the Jan. 5 sessions.
That evening the visitors attended
the Gompers centenary dinner. The
Jan. 6 session was devoted to plans
to move the Workers Education
Bureau to Washington, and state
labor federations.
Slaughter, discussing political
action, pointed out that after pass
age of the Taft Hartley act labor
could no longer depend entirely on
collective bargaining and has had
to learn to organize for political
action. The LLPE publication, Lea
que Reporter, and Frank Edwards,
AFL radio commentator, are the
best sources of labor news, Slaugh-
ter declared.
Cruikshank pointed out that the
AFL was the first organization to
develop a social security program
and emphasized that social secur-
ity must be explained in terms of
how it works "for the guy on the
payroll"

Senute Body
(Confinned From Page Ons)

was too slow to respond to chang
ing economic conditions, and many
have recommended that the Pres
ident should have authority to
make changes when necessary to
meet changing economic conditions.
A number of recommendations
were made by the subcommittee to
reform the governments manage
ment of monetary and credit policy
so these policies could be used
more effectively in controlling
booms and busts. One of the most
important would place control of
bank reserves in State as we'll as
national banks under control Of the
Federal Reserve Board. This is
sure to bring strong opposition
from the State banks.
The subcommittee also lined up
with Mariner S. Eccles against
Secretary of the Treasury Snyder
on the use of interest rates to con-
troll initiation and deflation. The
report indicated it was more inn
portant to use the power of inter
est rates to regulate credit than it
was to enjoy low interest rates on
the government debt.
The Committee urged strength
ening of the FRB's control over
monetary and credit policy and re-
commended that the FRB be dir
ected to use those powers in sup
port of the detectives of the full
employment law.
One of the major reforms recon-
mended by the subcommittee was
repeal of the silver purchase pro-
gram, which it branded merely d
subsidy of silver producers, often
at the expense of our efforts to
stabilize economic conditions.
In line with strengthening gov
emment policy over booms and
busts, the subcommittee recon-
mended creation of National
Monetary and Credit Council to
coordinate the policies of all fed
eral agencies, to be headed by the
Chairman Of the Presidents Eco
nomic Council. This would give the
Council far more direct control
over government policy than it has
had heretofore and would streng-
then the whole full employment
policy.
