The action of the unions, which called out more than 6000 craftsmen, in asking to negotiate a settlement came with unexpected suddenness early last evening. Each of the heads of the eleven major studios affected by the strike received copies of a resolution adopted by the business representatives of the craftsmen on strike requesting that their men be allowed to return to their vacated Jobs "without exception or prejudice." CAMERAMEN DECIDE FIRST Lew Blix. head of the studio mechanics; Howard Hurd. business representative for the cameramen; Carl Kountz, for the laboratory technicians and film editors; Harold JAPANESE WOMEN The Japanese woman still lives more or less the secluded life of the purdah. I was invited to almost innumerable dinners and banquets in Japan; but only three times were 'omen present.

Once a young Japanese invited me to have dinner "in his own home with his sister and her flapper friend. Another time I spent the day at a flower show with a Japanese gentleman and his wife; in the evening we all went to a cafe. Another time I was entertained at the home of a Japanese of great wealth who belonged to the social fringe of royalty. Hia wife and daughter were there, and we all went to a cafe in the even'ng. Otherwise than that, I was always entertained at stag dinners, at most of which there were hired geisha girls.

District employment managers will be named within the next few days, the personnel under them to be known as employment workers, as distinguished from social workers under district welfare workers. SET-UP EXPLAINED In discussing the benefits to be derived from the new set-up, Supt.

Harriman declared: "It has been a crying shame throughout the economic depression that persons thrown out of work through no fault of their own, but through the operation of vast economic maladjustments, should have to be thrown onto charities in every section of the United States. "We came to the conclusion months ago that It was not right for persons to have their lives pried into by social workers and to become social cases when their only necessity is employment. They should not have to move within the orbit of social workers or the atmosphere of charity offices. All this is, and has been, demeaning, humiliating and demoralizing.

Work also was going forwafd yesterday for a larger gathering of city-wide scope to be held next Wednesday at the Biltmore, when the local drive for jobs will be formally launched.

Henry I. Harrlman, president of the United States Chamber of Commerce, will be the principal speaker at next Wednesday's meeting, his appearance being particularly appropriate in view of his present activity in heading a national group cf business leaders in preparing a study of the continuity of business and employment. HARRIMAN'S REPORT The report of Mr. Harriman's committee on this subject, prepared under the direction of the United States chamber, proposes practical, long-range measures for keeping business on a more even keel and the made hr.ve attracted wide national attention, chamber officials here asserted. Among other things, the plan recommends the setting up of a national economic council by business itself, free from government domination.

It is the cardinal principle of Harriman's business creed that business should adopt its own rules and regulations for trade relations, subject only to some government supervision to see that any rules adopted are fair and adequate. Much of the destructive competition now aggravating industry could be eliminated through the adoption of trade practice rules, Harriman believes. More than 300 reservations already have been made for next Wednesday's meeting, according to William A. Simpson, president of the local chamber. STRICTLY INVITATIONAL Today's reorganization meeting at the Chamber of Commerce is strictly Invitational, representatives of all groups hitherto not represented on the local national recovery committee having been Invited to attend with present members.

The American Legion, Federation of Labor, representatives of the Rotary, Lions, Kiwanls and other service groups, together with a delegate Irom the women's clubs, will be the principal additions to the committee. Mayor Shaw, Supervisor Qulnn and Simpson will serve on the expanded committee as honorary chairmen. Harry L. Harper, vice-president of the chamber, will continue as acting chairman of the group. With all civic and commercial organizations actively engaged in rounding out of program of co-operation with the Federal administration, other individuals, Industries and agencies yesterday continued their efforts to line up with the recovery program.

This was reported to be the first heat death in Orange county in many years.

Except for their clothes, a higher average of beauty and a great deal more serenity and poise, they were exactly like American women. They expected and received the same deference. They talked like American women; they thought like the university-educated American women. That's the main difference between their clubwomen and ours. The status of the present-day Chinese woman was won by the high-bred Chinese girl who graduated from an American university.

So it is a rarity to find a Chinese culbwomen without a university degree usually a string of them.

SIXTY TO RETURN TO JOBS Yesterday afternoon's session of the cameramen was reported as a hectic one, resulting in a split of the union with more than sixty of the ace cameramen announcing their intentions of reporting back for their Jobs today. The break in the cameramen's local was admitted at union headquarters. They declared that at least twenty of their members' names had been stricken from the rolls, but that this meant little in view of the fact their local comprises more than 700 members. Producers pointed out, however, that while there are that many members among the cameramen, the normal number engaged each week is approximately 150 men. This split was looked to as a weakening of the union strength.

Further strength of the producers' position in the strike, which they attribute to an Internal battle between two unions over jurisdiction of the striking sound technicians, was indicated yesterday with the report that production for the past twenty-four hours was 83 per cent normal, with every prospect of a 100 per cent normal basis beginning this morning. ONLY FIVE DELAYED Yesterday twenty-three picture companies at the eleven major studios were actually shooting, with but five temporarily delayed. There was a resumption of production activities at the Columbia studio, where the strike actually had its inception a little more than two weeks ago. Union officials refused to verify about it, however, for lack of legal right, until the Federal government paved the way through its eligibility rulings regarding work relief and direct relief to be fully effective the GIVES CHAIR TO McGUIRE Public Works Group and Other Commissions Pick A'cm?

JURORS SMILED As the Jurors came through the door it was evident by their broad smiles that the verdict was to be in favor of the defendants. As soon as Judge Aggeler announced that the defendants had been cleared, Mrs. Otto rushed to her husband's side arid the couple broke down and cried. Kemp was at once surrounded by friends and much hand shaking, which included the Jury, occupied the next ten minutes. Among the first to congratulate Kemp and Otto was Raymond L.

Haight who was indicted with them, but dismissed by Judge Aggeler at the close of the prosecution case when he was not connected in any manner to the crime charged by the testimony produced. KEMP STATEMENT Both Kemp and Fitts Issued brief statements after the verdict had been announced. Kemp's statement follows: "As a candidate for District Attorney against Buron Fitts a year ago I told the electors of this county: 'The combination of police power, investigation, gnand Jury, and prosecution, make a powerful background of fear, which should not be in the iind of any citizen, save he be a Within the year I personally have demonstrated the truth of that statement.

The Finance Committee had referred the matter back to the Council without recommendation, the explanation of Education expressed his opinion that Los Angeles might be confronted with a major problem as a result of some of the provisions of the bill.

"The Riley-Stewart bill allows only a 5 per cent increase of expenditures over the year before," being that with condition of the public funds being as serious as it is, it was felt the entire Council should pass on the matter. There were motions to grant tne request, a substitute motion to cut Lenz said. "To me It appears that the framers of the bill forgot our March earthquake and did not take into consideration that boards of education of many towns in this vi the amount, others suggesting tms solution and that, the final action beinn to request the Board of Pub policy, that it was unfair to grant requests of some and deny others. Councilman Hyde said, as did all others who expressed opposition, that he had great consideration for all veterans, but in times like these when there is not enough money in the treasury to maintain the city's regular personnel, and in view of his pledge as well as the pledge of other Councilmen to protect the taxpayers' interests, he would have to vote against any proposal to use public funds for street decorations. He thought veterans would not enjoy streets decorated for them with funds taken from city employees.

Councilman Davis, as president, inquired whether the committee had approached the merchants and Chamber of Commerce to see whether they could not decorate the streets. The reply was "nobody has any money," The Spanish War request will come up later, the San Pedro request was denied, the American Legion request went over thirty days lic Works to submit an estimate of cessor to Shaw, but sounds the death knell of an ambitious plan to swap political favors with the city's new Mayor." Although firmly denied in Los Angeles and Sacramento, it is understood that Gov. Rolph was hopeful for a time that his willingness to name a Supervisor approved by Mayor Shaw might result in a reciprocal arrangement whereby Mr. Shaw would chocse Ray Cato, head of the State motor police, as Chief of Police to succeed Chief Steckel. With Cato, former Los Angeles policeman, happily promoted from his State pose, and duly grateful to the Governor for his promotion, it is said that Mr.

Rolph planned to strengthen his political fences in Northern California through appointment of a popular Alameda county officer to head the motor police organization. Somewhere along the line, however, the purported scheme went awry and, while the best of feeling (Continued on Page 2, Column 6) BY THE WATCHMAN Seemingly unable to reach an understanding with Mayor Shaw and the four members of the County Board of Supervisors relative to the selection of a successor to Mr. Shaw as Supervisor from the Second District, Gov.

Rolph, appalled by the arising ous political complications arising from his efforts to have the Mayor and the Supervisors recommend a candidate and thus relieve him somewhat of the embarrassment of disappointing so many eager aspirants, will disregard all of thce hitherto considered and will make an independent selection next week, week.
