After weeks of bickering and arguing the city council

works administration that the city negotiate with the priv

through a board of arbitration. The suggestion of PWA is
that the city appoint one member of the board of arbitra

third.

announced In a whisper the other
day that 60,000 women would be put
to work immedi
ately on 250,000
bales of govern
ment mattresses

The unannounced fact Is that It
Is now employing about a million
people In this partially self-support.
ing work relief scheme. That means
approximately one-tenth ol the ieg
eral relief problem already is being
handled In this way.
But, what is more Important, the
insiders now say, Is that these ex
periments have" been so successful
they probably will be made the basis
for the coming winter relief pro
gram.
tlan Plotters and planners be
hind the FERA are known to have
worked out unofficially a plan for
trebling and possibly quadrupling
their activity in this respect.
it could not become a complete
substitute for the CWA dole system,
used last winter and abandoned
(ostensibly but not actually) last
spring, but it would cut down meas-
ureably the amount of money to
be doled out this coming winter.
There is no dispute about the
practical wisdom of the thing. The
government has been buying surplus
raw materials and must buy more.
The unemployed need both work
and finished products. It is practical
to have them work at processing
these raw materials for themselves.
There Is no question but that the
experiments have worked very well
when the government made con
tracts with the manufacturers, of
itating them a portion of the raw
material in exchange for manufac
tured products. But, when the gov
ernment has gone into the manu
facturing business for itself, the re
sults have not always been satisfac
tory. Unskilled workers, using make
shift manufacturing devices, have
turned out deficient work,
Obstacles But that is not the rea
son why the government has been
so shy and uncommunicative about
Its extension of this phase of relief.
The truth is, deep political hazards
are involved. For one thing, it
smacks of socialism. It puts the
government into the manufacturing
business. No matter haw practical
that may be, the manufacturers do
not like it. They have been raising
quite a howl.
One mattress manufacturer, for
Instance, came charging In here like
a bull when the government first
went Into the mattress business. It
had arranged with state relief or
ganizations to furnish work rooms
and benches for women. The state
people also went out and borrowed
or rented sewing machines. Through
such cooperation, they did quite a
business.
The irate manufacturer was quiet
ed, temporarily at least, when the
FERA conducted a survey in his
home town showing how many peo
ple in it were coo poor to buy his
mattresses but were sleeping on bur
lap bags and what not. That con
vinced the manufacturer they were
not competing with him. Not all
manufacturers have been quieted so
easily.
Operations In one state, there is
supposed to be an experimental gov
ernment clothing manufacturing
project under way, although you
cannot find out much about it here.
Shoes have been tried and will be
tried again, but that work will have
to be allotted to 'Shoe manufactur
ing.
Severn! small canning factories
have been set up, and the work of
making comforters and bed linen
out of cotton surplus is proceeding
rapidly by direct action.
The government s heavy purchases
of cattle and hogs will certainly put
into the meat business in a big
way shortly. This work also unques
tionably will be handled under con
tracts with the private packers.
The main point about It all is that
the forces of necessity and reason
are driving the government more or
less reluctantly Into expansion of
these endeavors, and the expansion
has only begun.
Economy The inside move to ef
fect further economics in govern
mental operations this fall are pro
ceeding no less energetically for the
lack of publicity about them.
The housing administration, which
only got started a few weeks ago,
has already received orders to cut
its staff and Is beginning to weed
out.

Wallace Beery and Jackie Cooper
united again as a screen team!
The powerful heart appeal or this
combination of man and boy that
stirred millions with "The Champ"
and recently "The Bowery,;' has
never been presented with more
dramatic Intensity than in the
pirate story.
As Long John Silver, ferocious
sea raider, Beery Is chosen as a
friend by young Cooper portraying
Jim Hawkins, boy adventurer. Their
experiences together during the
search for treasure are packed with
thrills and pathos that bring gasps
and ears to everyone in the theater.
To bring this most widely read
of all adventure stories to the
screen Metro-Goldwyn Mayer has
assembled one of the most notable
casts of the year for supporting
roles with Beery and Cooper.
The spirit of breathless adven
ture in the story has been adapted
with full faith from the Stevenson
original by John Lee Mahln.
Victor Fleming, who has filmed
such adventure films as "Rendez

rection. "Thcasure Island" is being shown

To the Editor: The News-Telegram
of August 13, says that United
States Senator Chas. li. McNary
"Mysterious as an oracle, said he
was waiting."
We might say "Silence is Golden."
What about the silent Coolidge?
Also:
"A wise old owl sat in an oak;
The more he heard the less he spoke,
The less he spoke, the more he heard.
Why can't we be like that wise old
bird?"
Senator McNary is wise in making
haste slowly. Given credit for being
the smartest man in the United
States senate, he does not have to
hurry.
Senator McNary is progressive in
his acts and is capable of handling
the office of president of Uie Unit
ed States of America in an ideal
way.
There Is plenty of time for the
new deal to collapse in the next two
years or even less. The democratic
party has not yet been able to con
trol the weather nor will it ever be.
As for myself, I do not believe in
destroying food. I agree with Henry
Ford, that the only surplus there Is
especially at this time is a sur
plus of prices.
It is said that the Pacific north
west Is the most American part of
the United States. We want a man
from the northwest for president. A
man who believes In an old-age pen
sion system. There is no better man
than Chas. L. McNary for that high
office, in my opinion.

Two unusual feature films have
been secured for showing at the
Capitol theater Tuesday and Wed

the other Zane Grey's "Smoke

One of the most colorful and bril

all other famous characters in the

This picture is not the legendary
story of Cinderella, but that of a
modern Cinderella, the product of
the popularity contest and radio
age, whose experiences paraphrase
those of her predecessoresf.
