Back of this fundamental poli-

enduring measure of success.

tion"In carrying out the mandate of
the A. F of L. convention for the
30-hour work week and elimination of
the vast army of unemployed, several
responsible labor leaders held an Im-
portant conference here.
Practical progress is being made on
several fronts in the fight for the 30-
hour week. It is reported.
William Green, president of the A.

ant Secretary of Labor; Sidney Hill

the Women's Trade Union League:
John P. Frey of the A. F of L. and

The occasion was the first gather

Washington—The Research Depart-
ment of the A. F. of L. has completed
a survey of the wheat flour milling
industry, which sets forth many in-
teresting facta of general interest.
Among the labor features, only few
changes are noted since the NRA ode
for the industry went into effect on
June 9. 1934, although a slight gain
has been made in hours and wages.
Comparing July, 1933, with the same
month this year, it is found that the
average hours per week have been re-
duced from 47.0 to 38.5, and that the
hourly wage rates have increased from
43 0 to 54.5 cents. It is significant,
however, that the average weekly
wage of July, 1933. of 321.06 has been
increased only to 321 31 Production
in July this year was 11 per cent low-
er than a year ago and total employ-
ment was increased approximately 11
per cent. Copies of the survey, com-
prising a 13-page statement of find-
ings. are available to those interested
OLD MILL
Another extended engagement of a
popular picture will be added to the
Old Mill's list of revivals when “The
Gay Divorcee" moves from the Ma-
jestic Saturday morning. The mu-
sical production has proved the po-
tentialities of Ginger Rogers and Fred
Astaire as a dancing team, which they
promised in "Flying Down to Rlo."
Instead of the "Carioca," the team
performs a new dance rhythm, the
“Continental.” for the big production
number of the show. The cast in-
cludes Alice Brady and Edward Ev-
erett Horton. The run will be indefi-
nite.

Bunday and Monday—Bing Crosby
and Marlon Hopkins in "She Loves
Me Not," with Kitty Carlisle
A brand new, popular, starring
combination comes to the screen in
Paramount’s "She Loves Me Not," the
film version of the smash Broadway
sucgess with Bing Crosby and Miriam
• Hopkins in the principal roles.
Acting the role of a love-sick, chiv-
alrous Princeton student. Crosby sings
and woos his way to the great ro-
mance with the daughter of the uni-
versity dean, after Miriam Hopkins, as
the madcap, flamboyant little night-
club dancer, enters his life, and leaves
him a sadder but wiser college lad.
Beginning with an utterly fantastic
and ludicrous situation, the film in its
rapid progress pokes derisive fun at
colleges, the motion picture industry,
the newspapers, communists, gang-
stere and most of the familiar Ameri-
can institutions. Yet there is not a
trace of rancor or bitterness in its
sparkling comedy.
A distinguished cast. including
Warren Hymer, Lynne Overman, Ju-
dith Allen, George Barbier and Vince
Barnett, support Crosby and Miss
Hopkins. “She Loves Me Not" also
features several brand new tunes by
Rain ger and Robin, and Gordon and '
Revel and a number of duets by Cros-
by and Miss Carlisle. Elliott Nugent :
directed.
