The Mendocino Beacon says: 'RIOP PRESS EDITOR CONSULTS A SEER And Produces a Column Of FOUR STATE AGENCIES COOPERATE FOR PROGRESS The department of Labor and Industrial Relations, concerning which the average citizen has little information, has filed an interesting report with Governor Friend W.

Richardson. Representatives of four governmental agencies of the state comprise the personnel of the department: Industrial Accident Commission, Immigration and Housing Commission, Industrial Welfare Commission and Bureau of Labor Statistics. The report informs the Governor that the department has functioned in complete harmony, thereby enabling each of the agencies to do the most effective work. One of the chief benefits derived from the activities of the department is the co-ordination of the work of agencies represented and the consequent elimination of overlapping of functions. Some of the outstanding accomplishments by the four agencies embraced in the departments are set forth in the report: Industrial Accident transacting a largely increased volume of business in all departments, and without Joss of efficiency, effected a saving of over $300,000 during 192224 budgeting period; secured enactment of amendment to compensation act requiring all employers to carry compensation insurance and increasing funeral benefits to $150 and making such benefits payable in addition to, rather than out of, awards to dependents; for fiscal year the number of cases filed with commission increased 2.7 per cent while cases decided increased 12 per cent; staff of department of safety increased 31 per cent and number of inspections increased from 10,000 to now safety orders issued and existing orders strengthened to meet changed conditions; Stare Compensation Insurance Fund maintained on a sound financial basis and in a prosperous condition; the fund has paid to injured workmen and their dependents $13,000,000, has refunded to its policy holders over $9,000,000 and has accumulated a "rainy day" fund of over $2,000,000.

Bureau of Labor no time since its establishment in 1883 has the bureau been able to show greater progress; 33,801 labor law violations reported to and handled; wage complaints increased 29.8 per cent; complaints against private employment agencies 1873, an increase of 38.5 per cent; complaints of violation of eight-hour law 277, an increase of 31.8 per cent; Iti we are not certaIn whether during 1922-24 $858,163.85 unpaid wages collected, an increase Sheriff Byrnes is going to run for of 90.6 per cent, resulting in a saving to workers of from $143,000 to $215,000 annually; number of criminal prosecutions started, 294, an increase of 26.7 per cent; additional offices established at Oakland, Stockton, San Jose, Long Beach, Santa Barbara and San Boonviiie, Potter valley, and Bernardino; state free employment bureaus filled 474,691 jobs, an the increase of 37.4 per cent and a saving in fees to workers of southcoast are all going "Heii bem r)flfl for Sheriff not for -uuu in mo mis. i Sheriff Byrnes.

Then, the four offices maintained received 2277 immigrant complaints une 25 SanUl Hoaa DRm0 The editor of the Republican Press has "analyzed" the sheriff's fight and comes out in this week's issue of his sheet as a prognosticator of the first order. He has Byrnes wiped off the boards at the start with the fight between Perkins and Erewer. Under a heading entitled the "Perkins Vole" we learn that "Perkins will carry Hopiand." This ought to be encouraging news to that candidate. He will also "Sweep Long Valley" and "will get a big vote in Anderson valley." On the coast "he will carry everything from Caspar north," the Press man states, and this gentleman fixes his lead at 1000 votes.

Now what do you know about that! That's rolling 'em up some on paper, isn't it? The Press man concedes that. Byrnes will carry Mendocino, Potter valley, Hound valley, WiUits, Ukiah and Ukiah valley. Fairly populous sections these. Now where does he expect to rake up that thousand votes on the coast for Perkins with everything south of Mendocino eliminated? His is a very fine pipe, dream but he is going to suffer a very rude awakening about the 31at of Agust next. The debatable places on this coast, of consequence, in the coming election are Fort Bragg and Caspar but the contest in both places will be c.loso.

Byrnes undoubtedly will carry the north coast. The Press man may peddle 1000 vote Perkins leads to people not acquainted with the situation but the coast has the horse laugh only for (hat kind of stuff." And this from the Point Arena Record: "WHAT NEXT IS COMING? In the sheriff's fight the Tlklall Republican Press editor has got the Record editor all fluffed up, razzle-dazzied and bewildered when we read his paper. For after read- reelection in Mendocino, Humboldt or Sonoma. And when we read the weekly pi-ophesies of the Republican Press, we are always somewhat alarmed that everything at Uklan, over MOVIE MAKING REVEALED Many thousands aching for an opportunity to penetrate into a motion picture studio but who haven't the opportunity to visit Hollywood will find "Ella Cinders," John Mc'Cor- mick's new First National production with Colleen Moore as star, an interesting substitute. Throughout the picture, which closes'tonight at the State theatre, motion picture companies are shown at work on the "set." and "on location," and many authentic scenes of studio routine are revealed.

The picture is a veritable travelogue of Studioland. WILL SURPRISE FANS What a surprise the average film fan will register when he or she sees the screen version of Barrett. Willoughby's novel, "Rocking booked to show at the State theatre, Saturday. Not. the Alaska with its ice and snow and driving sleet storms, but the Alaska of sunshine, with its flowers and summer temperature, with Its great blue fox- farms and wondrous natural scenery.

Director George Melford, with his company of spent six weeks in and around Juneau, Sitka and other Alaskan cities the picture was filmed. He has secured some of the most beautiful scenes ever filmed. Lilyan Tashman, John Bowers, Rockcllffe Fellowes, Luke Cosgrave, Laslca Winter, Eugene Pallette and Evelyn Selbie will be seen in the production which is said lo be one of unusual interest and photographically a gem. DON'T MISS "THREE FACES EAST," AT STATE SUNDAY No screen fan who likes thrills and novelty, should miss "Three Faces East," which is Sunday's feature, at- 1 traction at the State. This is a fine mystery story of the secret service, during the war.

It is as full of action as an egg is full of life-giving i meat. It's a big production. It I holds one tenso as a bow string throughout. You'll like the work of 1 the players, especially that of Jetta Goudal, Robert Ames, Henry Wal- i thall and Clive Brook, who have featured roles. POPULAR WESTERN STAR IN ANOTHER THRILLER and 1854 applications in 1925; housing department rigidly en forced the State Housing Law, thereby securing a constructive jprogram of housing relief; during 1925, the camp departments made 1703 inspections of camps housing 87,538 persons; due splendid spirit of cooperation by employers only three arrests were necessary during the year.

The report concludes with financial statements and detailed information concerning the activities of the four agencies represented and is signed by John A. McGilvray, Industrial Accident Commission; Walter G. Mathewson, Labor Commission; Katherine Philips lulson, Industrial Welfare Commission; and George S. Hollis, Commission of Immigration San cisco Organized Labor. ran- Richardson does not play politics in the usual sense of the word.

He goes about his task with a clear head, turning a deal -ear to the appeals of sentimentalists. His blunt refusal of a pardon to Alfred Lindslev, Kurcka editor, is proof that his judgment is not swayed by his regard for a fellow editor. Lindslev was sentenced to pay a fine of $2000 or spend 1000 days in jail for contempt of court. In commenting on the case, Governor Richardson said: "I has had his day in court and his case has been passed upon by the Appellate and Supreme Courts of the State. Llis legal and constitutional rights have not been violated.

The issue, presented to me is one of maintaining respect for the courts and a fair trial for those charged with crime, and hasfltothing to do with the liberty of the Lag una Beach Life.

The article appeared to be intended as an endless-chain one, for it is again republished in the Republican Press of last week's issue, in bold black type, under the same head, "An Expensive Luxury," but note the deceptive credit given to get it across Editorial Printed in The Santa Rosa Press Democrm.j Sure, but whose? It now as "if" Sheriff Byrnes should slip down into Sonoma county and corral all those voles there he is losing. In this week's Republican Press received today (Thursday) its editor is still slipping his readers another gorge of mythical political figures containing solid blocks of votes which lie has been tobogganing out of Sheriff Byrnes' reach, from the green shaded banks of Pudding creek on (he west, Killeat pass on the north, on the south and the Yiibe-dam on the cast.

Listen, Mr. Republican Tress man, for with a friendly and kindly feeling for the two present, candidates in the field, allow us to tell you-- and let it drift seem to be shooting your verbage of misrepresentations too soon and your weekly howls for months past will have a retroactive blowout. You seem to have forgotten that Mr. Byrnes has not yet announced his candidacy for reelection. When he does, the battlefield will be Mendocino county.

We will feel sorry for you then, for that "blockhouse" bugaboo will get your goat. Then, Mr. Byrnes has many loyal voting friends on the southcoast who will take care of him when the time comes." Another story from the pen of that popular magazine writer, Frank Beresford, comes to the screen here at the State theatre Monday. The picture is "Chasing Trouble," a Blue-Streak Western starring Pete Morrison, which Lariat Productions 1 made for release by Universal Pictures Corporation, and was originally published under the title of "The Blizzard." The cast, includes lone Reed, Roy Watson, Tom Lonaon, Frances Friel, Joe Bennett, Milton Fahrney, and others. BIG CAST IN NEW LA ROCOUE FILM The excellent story of and cast in "Bachelor Brides," Rod La Rocque's new starring picture, apparently presages for this rollicking comedy the heartiest approval of the film-going public.

Headed by Rod La Racque, whose popularity with motion picture theatre patrons is conceded, following his outstanding performances in "The Coming of Amos," "Brave- heart" and "Red Dice," the coterie of players gracing the cast "Bachelor Brides," wJiich will be shown at the State theat re next Tuesday, is well balanced and unusually brilliant.

It is said to be a potpouri of smiles and laughter from start to the finish of its seven reels. The cast is a brilliant: one and includes Lionel Bel- niore, David James, Tom Wilson, Stanhope Wheatcroft and others. Incidentally, "Madam Behave" completes a triumvirate of international farces. Whereas "Charley's Aunt" was English by history and tradition, and the second big picture, "Seven Days," a recognized American farce of high standing, "Madanr Behave" was written as a French farce and then Americanized with the addition of (hose creations of the resourceful gag man which make people roar with laughter.
