(2) Due to the fact that the greater political skill in labor poli- tics is centered in Ketchikan, Al- aska, and also due to the fact that this area is the last to open, the pre re for settling conditions of labor does not become strong there until long after the pressure has become acute in the more northern districts such as ' Yakutat, Lynn Canal, Icy Straits, Chatham Straits and the Sitka Districts, with the result that the bargaining officers of certain labor unions have neg- lected to give timely attention to the above named districts so that in 1939 these areas were forced to bargain locally by plants. i | 1 The | an- is (3) In the interest of so-(-alledl “ROMANCE OF THE REDWOODS” armony, this ‘organization )'Ofusod‘if they had not modified it due 5 enter the field of labor prob-|to outside pressure of our own peo- 15 in the years 1936 and 1937, |ple.

It's a highly amusing idea, |and from all advance reports it | would seem that 20th Century-Fox | has taken full advantage of its en- tertainment possibilities, | Five new swing hits highlight the film.
