CIRCUIT PLAN FOR COMMUNITY PLAYERS Los Angeles Wants to Join Orange County in Scheme To Orange county may come the distinction of having instituted an inter-organization movement among community players' organizations that will sweep the country, ecame known when it was learned that the Los Angeles Community Players' association was desirous of joining similar bodies in Orange county with a view to establishing a circuit. The player folk of Los Angeles advanced the suggestion following the announcement that community players' organization in Santa Ana t Laguna Beach, Anaheim and Fullerton had arranged a series of evenings at which were to be presented one act plays. The presentation of these plays was planned, it was said, to promote the feeling of good-fellowship and co-operation among the various organizations, all working for a common cause. It was stated that Los Angeles had endeavored to establish a circuit in that county, similar to the one which seemed to form here automatically, but failed to achieve the expected results. Publicity given the proposed meeting, to be followed by similar meetings in the four communities boasting an established organization of players, reached the Los Angeles body and at once tentative plans were suggested by them that they be allowed to join in the circuit. "The suggestion to the local body seems to be but a further proof of the value of such work in any communities as an influence binding them closer together," declared Edward De OIL WORKER KILLED AND TWO INJURED John Ahern, aged 36, an employee of the Amalgamated Oil company, on their lease about three miles northeast of Fullerton, had his skull crushed, causing instant death, and Floyd Sharp narrowly escaped death with a serious scalp wound, while E. E. Newton received a bruise on the head, when a heavy plank well from the top o fa derrick, dropping a distance of some 50 feet and striking the men who were at work on the floor of the derrick. The accident occurred shortly after 4 o'clock last Thursday afternoon, when the plank slipped from the grasp of workmen at the top of the derrick and fell with scant warning. Ahern received the full force of the blow, his skull being crushed like a shell. Sharp and Newton received glancing blows. Sharp being injured so badly that it was thought at first he would not recover. He is in the hospital under the care of a physician and his condition is reported favorable. Newton was only slightly injured and was able to attend the inquest held at the McAulay funeral parlors Wednesday morning. Ahern was a single man, making his home with his mother in Anaheim. Sharp and Newton are both married, residing with their families on the Amalgamated lease. Funeral services over Ahern were eld Friday morning in the Backs, Terry & Campbell parlors. REORGANIZE NAVAL RESERVE CLASSES Naval reservists of Orange county are interested in the announcement that what are known to them as classes 2, 3 and 5 are to be re-established. Publicity given the proposed meeting, to be followed by similar meetings in the four communities boasting an established organization of players, reached the Los Angeles body and at once tentative plans were suggested by them that they be allowed to join in the circuit. "The suggestion to the local body seems to be but a further proof of the value of such work in any communities as an influence binding them closer together," declared Edward De Ahna of the Laguna Beach organization. "It is the opinion of the Laguna players that such a circuit would broaden the scope of our work and draw the communities nearer together." Tt the meeting which members of the four Orange county organizations will enjoy in Santa Ana, Thursday, January 18, Laguna will present the one-act allegorical fantasy, "The Slave With Two Faces," directed by Madam Ann Dare, Santa Ana will offer an original skit by Stanley Reed, "To Much About Paris," directed by George Gerwing, and the other two communities will follow suit with a one-act skit each, the names to be announced later.

"It cannot name the wages it will pay. "It cannot enter into combinations and deals. "It cannot shut down when business goes to the bad. "It cannot buy or sell a railroad system. "It cannot make capitalistic profits and dividends. "It cannot even determine how much capital it shall issue on its property, or issue any without previous approval of the public. "It is, in fact, an agency of the public, controlled completely by the government." The fact is, rates cannot be reduced unless costs are reduced. Costs cannot be reduced so long as the present scale of wages and the prices of fuel, materials and other supplies are maintained, and in these matters the hands of the Santa Fe are tied. What is particularly needed at this time is better transportation service, more cars, locomotives, and other facilities necessary for moving the business, and the Santa Fe is doing everything in its power to provide these.
