Show FIFTY-NINTH YE All. PARK CITY, SUMMIT COUNTY, UTAH, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 3, IOCS NUMBER 1. Dad's Column WHEN STRIKERS MI ST PAY THE ORDER or a Federal District ' Court Judge in East St. Louis, Illinois, that certain striking mine workers must , pay $117,000 in damages to the employer . they victimized is a wholesome reminder remin-der that unions and their members may be sued successfully for unlawful conduct. con-duct. The verdict was directed against - sixty-six members of seven locals of the Progressive Mine Workers of America . for losses sustained by a company in Preebury, Illinois, during a three-year strike. When, said the court, labor un-1 ions, their officers and sympathizers "enter into a conspiracy to Inflict vio- . lent injury upon an employer or upon His property or business, and in furtherance further-ance of the object of the conspiracy do, by violent and other unlawful conduct, inflict injury upon the property or business busi-ness of such employer," they are "each liable to respond in damages for such loss or injury so Inflicted." The Justice of this court's verdict will appeal to all fair minded persons.

Many auto makers thought their cars were perfect 25 years ago. Away back in 1912 John N. Willys said: "Never will the auto be better made than it is today. Motor cars are as near perfect as mechanical genius, gen-ius, human brains and automatic machinery ma-chinery can make them. They will never be made any better because better wood will not grow, because the earth will never yield up better ores, because cattle will not produce better hide for. upholstering, and because human brains and energy will never be at a higher development than now." Now if you want the answer to Mr. Willys' prophecy of 1912, Just run a car of that model up alongside one of the 1938 models and compare them point by point. And yet, any local -motorist who thinks these beautiful new 1938 models are "perfect," will be wise to remain from boasting. Someone might preserve his words and mats another comparison 25 years from now. o o o COST OF STRIKES WTWCRT WtfTTJ rhnlrmnr, nf National Steel Corp., says the cost of strikes hasj O O O risen in this country from $375,000,000 T in 1936 to $5,000,000,000 in 1937.

The cost of strikes i O O O effect everybody in the country, though ( ci'RIOl'S KINKS the price paid by the working people is the heaviest. And any system which per mits such waste and such losses is not a good system. Need of greater co-operation between capital and labor was never before as great as now. If our present system won't permit of such co-operation, then let's get busy and devise one that will. This is the challenge to industry, in-dustry, labor and government alike, and a chaffenge that the American people would like to have answered during the year now well started on its way. O $ O TODAY IS GROUND HOG DAY DESPITE HIS natural modesty and dislike for publicity, the ground-hog always manages to come ln for his share of it along about this time of every year. Once more he ls again furnishing the topic for a good many conversations among citizens around Park City. No one openly admits with any degree of seri ousness that he has any faith ln His HoeshiD as a weather forecaster. And yet they always manage to call him to mind along about the second of every February. This year the groundhog ls not alone ln coming forth with a prediction pre-diction for the remainder of winter, and the fact that he has an expert competitor com-petitor adds interest to the event. Now comes Prof. Selby Maxwell, noted Chicago weather shark, with a prediction covering the balance of the year and an offer to bet that he hits it 80 per cent correctly. In view or the fact that Maxwell, who bases all his forecasts on the moon, has made some startling long-distance forecasts fore-casts in recent years what he has to say now is worth listening to. So try to forget your old friend the groundhog for a moment and listen to these words from the Chicago expert: "There will be no serious floods in the Ohio and Mississippi Miss-issippi valleys in 1938. June rains will relieve unfavorable growing conditions in southern Canada. The dust-bowl and middle western states also will receive beneficial rains, but farmers all over the nation must be careful to conserve as much of the moisture as possible. The balance of February will be cold, with heaviest precipitation in Texas and the dust-bowl, and snow over the Atlantic Atlan-tic states." SOME ONE has said that "heavy women wo-men command more attention than thin ones, and usually have more friends tv.'v- 'f t, They re not so apt to be preoccupied with clothes.

Mr. Kay spoke on wild life in Utah and the efforts made to add to the different species of game birds and animals throughout the state. Various steps taken in conservation as outlined by Mr. Kay, were as follows: "First, we noticed the wild life leaving, leav-ing, and the first thought was that hunters and fishermen must be restrained. restrain-ed. Therefore, laws were passed setting up seasons and bag limits. These limits were decreased, but still the game kept going. Second: The program was adopted to kill off the birds and animals which preyed on game. This has resulted in the entire extinction of twelve species of birds and twenty animals. And still the game kept going. Third: An attempt was made to cul- ture and propagate native birds, fish and animals. This did not solve the problem. Fourth, began the Introduction of other species such as Chinese pheasants, and other exotic birds and animals. This worked insofar as the species could adapt themselves to their environment. Fifth, and finally, scientific research definitely proved that the leaving of game was on account of the fact that their natural habitat had been destroyed and disturbed. This Is true in all parts of the United States. Not only has wild life been disturbed, but the natural defenses de-fenses of nature have been destroyed and caused great distress." "The action of the wild life is a polutioh In the stream." Mr. Kay illustrated his remarks with taken J different wild life ss!

At the present time, the State Fish and Game Department has seven projects pro-jects where facilities for water fowl are prepared and efforts made to correct and care for injured and diseased birds.

Why not have Uncle Sam purchase them and give them to those folks on relief who don't have a car. The only draw back to this proposition is that the majority now on relief have first-hand CUTS SAYS THE United States News of January 31, 1937: "The conflict between the A. F. of L and the C. I.

Already the head of the International Typographical Union, an affiliate of the A. F. of L., has charged Mr. Green with "attempting complete dictatorship" of the Federation. Curious ifi the fact that Charles P. Howard, president of the Typographical Union, is also secretary of the C. I. O. Curious is the fact that William Green, President of the A. F. of L., is a dues paying member of the United Mine Workers Union whose funds are being used to combat the Federation." o o o WITH HER official mileage now clock ed at something over 200,000 miles, there seems to be a good chance that America s most restless womau, mra Franklin D.

F. hall, Wednesday, February 16th, at 6:30 p. m. This will be the first time such a program has been held by Park City scouts. However, in other communities, such a banquet has become be-come the outstanding event of the year. From advance enthusiasm shown by parents and boys local scouters In charge are anticipating the attendance of over one hundred guests at this banquet. The recommittal court of honor to be held Tuesday, February 8th, marks the birthday of scouting. This will be the twenty-eighth such meeting.

DAY SHIFT AGAIN AT WORK AT THE JUDGE Without discrimination, 160 employes of the Judge mine of the Park Utah Consolidated Mines company, who went on strike last Thursday as a result of a dispute over the company's having hired a non-union man, returned to work here Wednesday morning, or were reinstated In their Jobs. A few of the men, who work on the lower levels, must wait until the pumps are lowered again and the water pumped out, it is reported. Settlement of the strike, Tuesday was announced following negotiations with company and union rerpesentatives, under un-der direction of the labor commissioners. commission-ers. The company agreed, according to report, re-port, to give preference in the future to those persons who have had the longest tenure of employment at the mines, and to give ample consideration to ability and adaptability. Representing the company at the conference was O. N. Friendly, vice president pre-sident and general manager; the miners, Afton Davis, president; James Bant, vice president; E. M. Royle, secretary, International Inter-national Union of Mine, Mill and Smelter Smelt-er Workers, District Union No. 2, and F. L.

M. Knerr of the State Industrial Commission, who has presided at the collective bargaining conferences held during the last month in Salt Lake City. Finishing touches were put upon the contract governing wages, hours and the condition of employment at Utah mines, mills and smelters, Mr. Knerr said. Representatives of both sides agreed to the contract at noon Tuesday. However, Mr. Knerr explained, the contract will not be in force until It is ratified by both employes and employers. employ-ers. Copies are now being mimeographed and being sent to all local groups belonging be-longing to the International Union of Mine, Mill and Smelter Workers In District Dis-trict No. 2. Within a week or ten days Mr. Knerr expects, the referendum on acceptance of the contract will have been completed and the vote reported to central headquarters in Salt Lake City. Until the contract has been accepted by both sides, Mr. Knerr said, there will be no announcement as to the wage scale and other terms agreed upon since representatives or both employers and employes stipulated that this should remain confidential Deseret News.

Seventeen Seven-teen members and two guests responded to roll call with a list and a short resume of books recently read and enjoyed. en-joyed. Mrs. W. W. Evans reported the District Dis-trict Federation meeting held in Salt Lake earlier in the day, as an exceptionally exception-ally interesting and worth while one. Those attending from Park City were Mrs. Frank Stone, Mrs. C. O. Hull. Mrs. George Gasparac, Miss Evelyn Tuggle and Mrs. Evans. The music for the meeting meet-ing was furnished by Mrs. H. W. Carter and Mrs. T. S. Shurtleff who sang in duet, "The Sweetest Story Ever Told," and "Sing Me To Sleep." Dr. Adam S. Bennion, assistant to the president of , the Utah Power and Light company, was tne guest speaker. His topic, one of interest in-terest to all was, "The Youth of Today is the Citizen of Tomorrow." Besides having hav-ing such a winning personality there is no one else in Utah better able to discuss dis-cuss this subject. Dr. Bennion's talk was segregated into four parts, namely: First The Importance of helping youth to choose a vocation. Second Teach and lead them In enjoying themselves In clean and Innocent recreation. Third Help them grasp the ideals of American government so they will learn to respect and admire what has been and is being done. And last, they should be taught to submerge doctrinal difference, anchored an-chored in a fine faith then be allowed to go along their way in a decent humility to duty. Following this talk the routine business busi-ness was transacted, which included committee reports that should progress wl beln? made ln 811 Phases of dlstrlct club projects. After such a concise and detailed report re-port the program of the evening was turned over to Mrs. Frank Stone and Mrs. George Gasparac. Mrs. Stone's paper was on "Our Legislature," Legis-lature," ln which she discussed thirteen topics that held prominent places ln the last session of the legislature. In opening, Mrs. Stone quoted that "Law is a sort of hocus-pocus science, I that smiles ln your face while it picks your pocKet, and the glorious uncer-1 tainty of it is of more use to professors than the justice of it." Then continues to say, "I do think we as club women, as homemakers, as women of today, should know more about the why and wherefore of laws." She then ln a brief way brought out some facts that were of interest to the club. Legislation concerning con-cerning aircraft and aeronautics, banking, bank-ing, child welfare, fair trade practices, and did you know that the sheriff of each county is also a fire warden for the protection of our forests? Under health, new laws concerning handling of foods to safeguard, life and comfort j weJ"e reviewed The papers for some time have been full of the controversy over the Tuberculosis Tuber-culosis hospital, through this we laarned of the Miners Fund that was created in 1931 and amounted to about $12,000. It provided for six beds in an institution. A miner to benefit from this fund must have resided in the state for two years, employed in a mine five years, and must prove his employment caused his condition con-dition and that he is physically incapable incap-able of holding his Job. Laws relating to highways, regulation of intoxicating liquors, schools, industrial indus-trial compensation and mine taxation were explained. In closing, Mrs. Stone said, "I wish I could agree with Froude, 'Our human laws are but the eopies, more or less imperfect im-perfect of the eternal laws so far as we can read them.' " A pleasant interlude at this point was ln form of a reading given by Mrs. Vernee C. Frame. With exceptional tal- ent, Mrs. Frame gave "Mrs. Pat and the Law," by Mary Aldis. The characters of this amusing and yet pathetic little tale are Nora O'Flaherty, her husband Pat, their crlpplde son Jimmie, who will never walk again and Miss Carroll a visiting nurse. The scene is a small, poor tenement room and the story deals with hard-working Nora, scheming and sacrificing to care for her adored son Jimmy, constantly making excuses to the visiting nurse. Miss Carroll, for the short comings of her husband, Pat, who has an uncontrolable appetite for some- thing to drink stronger than water. The story ends as it started, with Irish wit and charm, but the objective far from; being -realized At some future time Mrs. Frame has promised to entertain us again. And we take this opportunity to thank her. Continuing with the program, Mrs. Gasparac spoke on "Messages Through Space." As an introduction, a biography of Marconi and Alexander Graham Bell was given, followed by material taken from the National Geographic magazine. It is an extensive and complicated system sys-tem that Includes our telephone, tele-giaph tele-giaph and radio.

J When you see the cutthroat pirate band ln Cecil B. DeMllle's "The Buccaneer," Buc-caneer," starring Fredric March and Franciska Gaal, you may wonder where and how they collected such a villainous assortment of one-eyed, one-armed, one-legged one-legged men. Well, here's the lowdown. When any studio needs men with such unusual physical handicaps, they call the Veteran's Bureau and the men come forward eagerly to offer their services. DeMille, for instance, needed a couple of one-legged pirates for this picture. Many applied for the job but only two could be used and they received $150 a week each. It's nice work, If you can get lt. Apparently there already have been too many "Shanghai" pictures released so "International Settlement" has been selected as the new title for the production pro-duction originally labelled "Shanghai Deadline." George Sanders and Delores Del Rio are co-starred ln the picture. Next week Buster Keaton will celebrate his twentieth year in the motion picture Industry. He played his first film role in a silent two-reel comedy, "The Butcher Butch-er Boy," with Roscoe (Fatty) Arbuckle. He is now a director at M. G. M. studios and ls preparing a miniature comedy after completing "Life in Sometown, U. S. A.," short subject. After referring to her over the air as that "grand old lady of the theater, screen and radio," the announcer said that Sophie Tucker was celebrating her fiftieth birthday that day. Well, mebbe so, but if Sophie is only 50 and they call her an old lady, then what do they call May Robson? But, where a woman's age is concerned, nothing surprises me any more. I wouldn't be surprised even if they suddenly announced that Shirley Temple had been secretly married for a ",ui" ul yeam. Vagrant thought: If you want to make a comparison between high powered press agenting and complete oblivion, try to name one of the brothers or sisters of the Dionne Quintuplets. One day, on the set of "Parnell," Donald Crisp and I were swapping memories mem-ories of the old days while Clark Gable listened. Crisp is one of the real pioneers of motion pictures, having been one of the original members of the old Bio-graph Bio-graph company. I can Slmost claim to be a pioneer in talking pictures. In New York, about 30 years ago, I, along with several other actors and actresses temporarily tem-porarily "at liberty," was paid $3.50 per day by the manager of a 10-cent movie theater to make good his claim of being an exhibitor of "talking pictures." We would gather at the theater early ln the morning and watch closely the captions and action as the film was screened for us over and over again. Then, when the house opened, we would take our places back of the canvas curtain and give our Interpretation of what we thought the shadow shapes were saying. No wonder it was said that talking pictures would never be a success! If you like "Horse Opera," as westerns west-erns are called ln Hollywood, you'll like "The Bad Man of Brimstone." Wallace Beery is the star and is supported by an excellent cast including Virginia Bruce, Joseph Calleia, Lewis Stone and Bruce ' Cabot. It's not a great picture but I . think you'll find it entertaining. There are certain radio personalities for whom, in my opinion it is a great j mistake to appear on the screen. Edgar j Bergen's famous "Charlie McCarthy" is one. I haven't heard a radio broadcast of his that wasn't clever and funny, and I'v-s never seen a single film that was. The character, and again this is only ; my personal opinion, simply doesn't lend itself favorably to the screen. On the I air it is a combination of Bergen's ! brilliant dialogue and vocal mannerisms j and the imagination of the listeners that makes the thing the astounding success that it is. Remember the "Mary Lou" with the beautiful speaking voice who played opposite Lanney Ross ln the old "Show Boat?" Everyone, I think, did as I did imagined her to be beautiful, young and slender. Then she appeared on the screen ln a short subject and was immediately consigned to oblivion. I lost all Interest in "One Man's Family" after I saw a photograph cf the cast.
