TELEGRAPH WEDNESDAY EVENING JUNE 1, 1938 Workmen to Operate Closed Mine Near Hazleton HARRISBURG BANKRUPT SHAFT TO BE TAKEN OVER BY 1000 MINERS Officials of Concern Admit Failure to Effect Organization Plan SCORES ATTEND HEARING Scranton, June 1, Work men will take over a bankrupt firm and opeVate it as employers under an arrangement by referee in bankruptcy William K. Goldstein in the Federal building when he granted 1000 employes of the Lattimer Coal Company, Lattimer mines, near Hazleton, until today to file final plans for reorganization of the concern under section 77 of the Federal bankruptcy laws. He will forward the plans to Federal Court for approval, and it is expected the men will be able to return to work by June 15. By the reorganization proposal, they will work thirty days minus pay and defer payment of back waees 90 days. At the end of 30 days they will be paid regular wages, addition to a minimum of 10 per cent, of their back wages for the first month's work.

Officials of the concern acknowledged failure to operate in February and filed a petition in bankruptcy for reorganization. Several delays were encountered in the filing of the reorganization plan, and finally they admitted they could not effect one. It was at this juncture that heads of the mine union and men at the colliery offered their proposal. Several score workers came here for the hearing, and Referee Goldstein found it necessary to hold the session in Federal Judge Albert W. Johnson's courtroom.

The hearing was most informal, and after the men heard Referee Goldstein's counsel in the case they expressed gratitude to him in departing.

WHISPERS TAG MOVffiACTORS Some Are "Nice Guys" Others, "Sourpusses" in Gossip Circles of Hollywood HELPING HANDS EXTENDED By ROBBIN COONS Hollywood You hear good tales and bad tales about every body in Hollywood. Stars get catalogued, in this Ready Gossip factory, as "nice guys or "sour pusses depending mainly on how they act toward the people who have to work with them.

Let a "nice guy" once upstage an underling and the ensuing racket is easily identified repu tation being hammered on the an. vil of a whispering campaign. There is one girl in town for whom I've never heard a good word except from her press agent. Worst thing she ever did was to have a character actor fired from her picture for "blowing up" in his lines a few times. The poor fellow hadn't worked in a year.

The job meant so much that he was nervous. The Other Side But on the other hand what fan, reading that Katharine Hepburn took a blow up rap herself to save a minor actor embarrassment, isn't going to think kindly of Hepburn? The helping hand from one actor to another is one of Hollywood's tritest themes. It isn't always given. Stars are human, subject to jerfousies, petty irritations, fits of temper, all the un pleasant aspects of personality that make the human species in teresting. But it was in Gary Cooper's contract that he get top billing in Marlene Dietrich's first Hollywood movie, and he signed it away readily to give Dietrich the break.

Same went for William Powell, at whose insistence Luise Rainer shared the star spot in her first. Both gentlemen were wise contractually, they needn't have been. "Kid Gallahad" was one of last year's successes. The three stars in it Bette Davis, Humphrey Bo gart, Edward G. Robinson were none too enthusiastic about the script.

All figured the choice role would be that of the young fighter. They all felt better when they learned the role had been given to a new kid named Morris. They all pitched in to help Morris make the hit he did. Little tips here and there, suggestions, occasional scenes thrown his way when they needn't have been. Davis and Bogart didn't expect much from the picture anyway, but Robinson thought it would be his meat.

After the preview, when Wayne Morris was the hit, Eddie G. wasn't too happy. But could you blame him? ALUMNI TO DANCE Mifflintown, June 1.

Hailed as a "stream lined" pub lication, but actually the largest of the State manuals since 1921, the new edittion devotes many of its pages to items depicting the glories of life under the New Deal Moreover, instead of a mere listing of numbers from which readers can make their own de ductions as to the "state of the Commonwealth and its citizens, a table of registration is topped with this assertion in quarter inch letters: "Registration figures show Democratic gain and Republican Loss in State." In approximately the center of the book are two pages headed "Four Years," which tell of the benefits the Earle Administration has brought to Pennsylvania. Another story tells that through the enactment of "outstanding labor and social legislation" in 1937, "Pennsylvania has refused to become permanently the seat of industrial feudalism and has joined the drive for a rebirth of American democracy." Despite this assertion, the op posite page declares: 'In neias of finance and industry Pennsylvania has continued to lead the way" and then lists as leaders in finance and industry Jay Cooke and Andrew Mellon and others castigated in the past primary camDaien by 4he New Deal spell binders as typical of those who did their worst to Pennsylvania. More than a page is devoted to thrilling tale headed: "Utility Commission has saved PennsyL iranin millions of dollars." The storv asserts that "millions of dol lars have been saved or returned to utility ratepayers of Pennsyl vania as a result of action by the Public Utility Commission ap pointed by Governor George H.

Greenfield, Philadelphia, chairman of the Constitution Anniversary Commission, and Colonel A.

S. Janeway, director of the State Authority. The book contains 1351 pages, in contrast with" the 1056 paged manual issued in 1923, first year of Gifford Pinchot's first term. In the 1923 book there were only 35 pages required for listing State officials and employes. The new one has 161 pages.

Even in the largest book, the 1921 manual of 1483 pages, only 148 pages were necessary to list employes. For the first time the pictures of the President and Vice president appear in the manual.
