World Famous Grcus Coming Ringling Brothers and Bar nam and Bailey Here Saturday, June 3 ADVANCE "ME HERE A red private railroad car rolled into the city today. Upon it thirty advertising specialists men under command cf John Brassil, who paste, hang and tack the pulse quickening posters of the Ringling Brothers and Bar num and Bailey Circus hurriedly shed business suits and climbed into overalls. Leaping into station wagons, they were soon scattered throughout the and the surrounding country spreading the glad word, pictorial and printed, that the Greatest Show on Earth will exhibit here Saturday, June 3, at Greenwood and Twenty first streets, with Gargantua the Great, world's largest and most ferocious captive gorilla, on close up display in the menagerie; with an air conditioned big top, both heating and cooling systems; blue ceilinged and otherwise interior decorated, and with a performance topping, they say, all previous Big Show efforts. In an office on the combination sleeper work shop, Jerome T. Harriman, the contracting press agent, gathered his photos, mats, display schedules and stories and called on the newspapers.

New Attractions He is enthusiastic about the attractions the Greatest Show on Earth has to offer. He avows that words cannot describe the beauty of the new streamlined spectacle, "The World Comes to the World's Fairj" which Charles Le Maire, famous Ziegfeld Follies' designer, has produced for the circus. That Gargantua the Great is thrilling the crowds, who can now inspect him closely at leisure, is another point that scores with the press agent. Harriman says that the greatly increased number of imported foreign acts has given the performance unusual appeal, for John Ringling North, president of the circus, who combed Europe last winter for outstanding features, had great success. Heading the European features are: The Pi lades, leapers over elephants, horses and camels; the Zerbinis, Ortans and Filudys, springboard Dilffc sjjti ssqJCi 29 'Eft' MQ33G5S WEDNESDAY EVENING SISTERS JOINED IS DEATH Wullamtporf.

Gradually, all this changed, and nowadays the girls of the Ringling Bros. and. Barnum Bailey Combined Circus, coming to Harrisburg, June 3, are slender, despite the fact that they per form feats in the air, on the ground and on the backs of galloping horses far more daring and arduous than their sisters of the Gay Nineties and the early years of the 20th century. Take the tent full of girls in the show's great new aerial displays as an example. These pretty youngsters are intrepid and graceful fliers, and they have amazing strength and endurance.

However, their muscles are so perfectly developed that they lie hidden until called upon for co ordinated and tremendous physical effort in mid air. The modern circus girl especially the hundreds of lovely lassies with The Greatest Show on Earth has a superb figure, lithe, svelte and rounded. ON THE RECORD By DOROTHY THOMPSON (Continued From Editorial Page) ence, eventually displayed impatience with ideological disputes. She declared herself "personally fed up with the idea that a certain agreement of understanding or method that is practical and wholesome and which binds men together and makes men work cooperatively may have metaphysical or ideological implications." Now, the tendency not to care about the "theory" but just to get things done as quickly as possible is a very serious menace to democratic government and democratic control wherever it raises its head. Having one union in the coal in dustry and compelling every one to join it, and having the owners collect the dues, certainly saves a lot of headaches for everybody, including the owners but it happens to deprive the workers of any opportunity ever to change their minds and ever to change their union.

The employers and the United Mine Workers will now combine to do what, if the employers and a company union did it, would promptly get them called before the National Labor Relations Board for gross violations of the labor relations act. They will keep the organizers of an independent union out of the mines! The instruments of democratic control of most trade unions are very weak indeed. They are run by the "machine." The members get a chance to vote on general policy, but the most important day to day decisions are not submitted to them. The assumption that all workers desire, forever, to belong to the particular union that they once join has no more justification than the assumption that all voters once enrolled in Republican or Democratic ranks want to stay there forever. And in the United Mine Workers Union there is a great deal of discontent.

Mr. Lewis has been using the U. M. W. as shock troops and a war chest to promote the organization of other industries.

This has involved periodic assessments on the miners and th hi. version of their funds to the work ers of other industries. It has greatly assisted Mr. Lewis to expand his power, but it has not been enthusiastically watched by all the miners who have been paying to organize the automobile industry, for instance. So.

If the AFL nova iiuv uccii taiviijg iiiciii bers away from the CIO Mr. Lewis would not have been worried and Ask then how come and they will shrug and say that they think they were just born that way. Maybe so, for all the world knows that the voluptuous types of the turn of the century are almost gone from town and country in America.

All of which goes to prove the circus does change with the time, even if its essence remains the same as in the yesterdays of the singing clowns and the red coated ringmasters. Performances of the Big Show will be given at 2 and 8 p. starting with the 1939 edition of Nepal, the gorgeous new Charles Le Maire designed spectacle. The doors will open at 1 and 7 p. allowing full hour's time for the public inspection of the world's largest traveling menagerie.

would not have called a'' strike. TLiat seems obvious. Well, a ppor sap of a coal miner doesn't know what's good for him. Hasn't the CIO gotten him better wages and hours than he ever has had? Doesn't he know that real wages in the coal indus try have risen between 1929 and 1938 a full 50 per cent? And now does he want to knife the hand, that has fed him this increase? Isn't it fair that the chiseling Pro gressive Mine Workers, the AFL union, should be prevented from interrupting or diverting this won derful unity? Maybe, maybe. But the miners also know that members of their craft are leaving mining for W.

A. The high wage scale is fine for those who work, but it doesn't help those who don't. And for some workers it is griping to see one's dues, collected in a sick industry, go to help workers in other industries with much higher wage scales and better working and liv ing conditions. The way this strike was settled means that the workers will never have a chance again to choose re garding their union. The theory, apparently, is that trade unions are always and invariably highly democratic institutions whose sole and only con cern is human welfare, led by men who wouldn dream of autocratic measures or at all about per sonal power.

Exceot. of course, the Progres sive Miners, the American Federa tion of Labor, who are scoundrels and in Cahoots with the industrial ists! This is pure nonsense. Some of the worst tyrannies in the demo cratic world are exercised by trade union bureaucracies. And some of the most stupid and reactionary economic policies are supported by them and put over 'on the workers by them. They are often for GLASSES And tV; Quick I xAj Repairs See Dr.

Like every other social institution, they should not have too much power, for power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely in trade unions as everywhere else.
