But now that the talkies have come the producers have found it necessary to recruit their perform- ers from among actors and actresses who have been taught to speak, who have had some training in voice pro- duction. In other words, the talkies have entered the field in which the word of Equity is law. Being some- what high handed and bloated with success, the movie magnates have not been inclined to submit to Equity or even to make terms. War has peen declared. Frank Gilmore, the battling secre- tary of Equity, has notified all mem- bers of the association, which includes practically all actors and actresses on the American stage, that hereaf- ter they are to accept only the new Equity contract. This contract in- cludes among other features the pro- vision that the producer should em- ploy only Equity members. Before it came into effect actors had signed a different contract for the movies than they would have been permitted to sign as good Equity members with a legitimate producer. Mr. Gilmore said that all these contracts signed previous to the date of his announce- ment were to be observed scrupulous- ly. He took the stand about the new Equity contract after a ques- tionnaire sent to all Los Angeles members of Equity which showed that by a ratio of more than ten to one they were infavor of Equity contracts and Equity conditions of work being applied to the movie industry. From this distance it seems impos- sible that the talkies can win. The performers required are almost all Equity members, and Equity is affili- ated with the American Federation of Labor. So are the camera men and other technicians who are more numerous and important in the mov- ies than in the legitiinate theatre. It is true that the legitimate theatre did not have the financial resources of the movies when Equity was fight- ing it. In Los Angeles the newspap- ers are supporting the movie mag- nates which is not a matter of great significance since one of the papers has been notorious for its hostility to organized labor, while the owner of the other is also a movie producer himself. Time is fighting for Equity. Never before have pictures been made in each, a mad rush. The demand of the_ "hour is for talkies. The number of performers on the grouad suitable for casting is limited. Phe producers have not the time to train their own actors. They must accept the reedy made ,article or fall behind schedule in producing the talkies. To fall be- hind is to be ruined. Moreover, most of the "movie magnates have had no experience in labor troubles. For the most part, they are comparative new -comers in the field of public en- tertainment. They have never had to fight. They are likely to prove soft and be out -manoeuvred. It has now 'become clear that the movie performers in the past have been subjected to unfair and even de- grading conditions. 'When we think of the movies our tendency is to think of Mary Pickford or Charlie Chaplin or one or other of the stars, all peo- ple of fabulous wealth whose light- est 'whim is the law to their employ- ers. But there are a hundred ill - paid drudges to one star. Because they have no special talent they can be discharged at a moment's notice and somebody just as good picked up the next minute. They have never or- ganized. Even some of the perform- ers above the spear -carrying class but lower than the stars have been victimized by their employers. They have been forced to accept contract offering a lump sum for their part in a picture. In these there is no stip- ulation as to the length of the work- ing day nor as to the length of time the picture will require to make. A lump sum therefore might cover ten weeks' work at eight or ten hours a day or it might cover twenty-five weeks' work at eighteen hours a dad. There have been cases of actors forced to work between sixty and eighty hours a week. They are fre- quely paid nothing for rehearsals. Fe of them have continuous em- ploym -There are many weeks each year in 'dvhich the average Holly- wood actor is walking about looking for an engagemnet. It is alleged that there is the understanding among the producers, however bitter their general rivalry may be, and an actor who protests against unfairness is discharged and finds its impossible to get another engagement. T h e strength of Equity lies in the fact that the star performers have been willing to .fight the battle for their humbler colleagues. For instance, at a recent meeting in olb'srood George Arliss took the chair. The actors .,re united. They have undoubted griev- A "Chamber of Death" test is your eguarantee of FLY-TOX efficiency.

In- deed, the rules for keeping fit, now agitating the dwellers in all cities, seem to have been worked out nice- ly by our predecessors on these shores —the American Indian. .Advocates of the chilly plunge and of stressful bendings before break- fast may allude to his practices in support of their own particular the • oriel, for the Indian undoubtedly flung himself into the unwarmed wa- ters of the dawn. But the urgers of moderation in all things will discover in the athletics and ealisthenice of the aboriginal American the argu- ments of their own faith. The In- dian did take cold baths. He trail, ed his children in endurance. But the child's preparation for the icy plunge and for the burdens of the trail began in infancy. Bossu, who in the earlier half of the eighteenth century travelled wide- ly among American Indians and wrote much about them, reports that infants still in their mother's arms were bathed daily in cold water; and Le Page du Pratz, in his "History of Louisiana," tells us that at the age of three Indian children were taught by their mothers to swim. Early every morning, in winter. and summer alike, the swimming children were summoned to the pool by the old man of the tribe. !H le watched over them carefully, seeing\ tjhat they did not stay in the water too long and that they did not over -exert them- selves. Their bodies were accustom- ed to nakedness, inured to cold. Children 10 or 12 years old began to bear burden. The burden was small at first and was very gradually increased. Travellers who, reported children carrying large bundles on their heads were in error in believing the weight to be great, said du Pratz; the bundles were probably of dried meat, which bulks considerably and weighs little. The children raced, al- so, but the races, like the swims, were watched over by the old man. A WORLD APART When you leave the steamer "Belle of Temagami" you are in a quiet re- treat seemingly thousands of miles from the noisy workaday world. Peace and quiet are the chief laws of this forest kingdom, twenty miles from the nearest automobile and a hun- dred from a street car. Under the lordly trees of Tema- gami, black bass, lake trout and maskinonge lie in wait for the fish- erman in the innumerable lakes. The quaint Indian settlements, the mag- nificent scenery and the many other attractions simply can't be appreciat- ed until you see them.

STOP MOTORIISTS FOR ODD REASON A unique campaign for safe and sane driving which had motorists guessing for a few days is being car- ried on by Sheriff G. E. Cress, way out in Cena Gordo county, Iowa. Thousands of drivers have been stopped by the sheriff and his depu ties on the highways. The officers promptly display the well known red card and demand the driver's name. When the latter follows with an at- tempted alibi the officer becomes more harsh, shoves the card in the. driver's hand and leaves. Imagine the driver's embarrass- ment when he reads this: "I have watched your driving over a distance of several miles. You drove safely, sanely and sensibly. "Every day in the state of Iowa there is approximately one person killed and forty persons seriously in- jured on our streets and highways. "Safe, sane and sensible driving will stop this loss of life and limb. "If you don't know what the other fellow is going to do, slow down un- til he does it. "Continue to be a safe driver.

It is a battle of Equity, the Actors' association to unionize the industry. It has been pro- voked by the coming of the talkies. ]Before that movie actors and other actors had little in common. They re- eem+bled each other in the sense that calllejrs and anglers resemble each other. They occupied the same elo- mnent, or fished, as we may say, in the same waters.

There is also a general belief that even a judge should not be both judge and advocate. If a case af- fects him personally he should ask another judge to try it. Even then the judge would appear to have an unfair advantage for a member of the judgt caste would be pronouncing upon a supposed offence against an- other member of that caste. The case arose nut of the efforts of some race track promoters to run races with betting near Cleveland. The law of Ohio forbids race track betting, so the prnmoters invented a new scheme which they called the "contribution system." Under this system the owners of the horses lease them to the association promoting the race, and the association runs the horses. The spectators no longer bet but by putting up small sums buy a participating interest in the horse for the particular race. If the horse in which they buy a share wins the race the shareholders in all the other hors- es lose their investments, which are thereupon divided among the owners of the winning horse. Whatever may be said of this scheme from a legal point of view—and an Ohio Court of Aippeal had already' declared it con- trary to the law—it is obvious that it is a mere ruse to circumvent the anti- gambling act. So 'lPhen race track promoters announced a race at Thistledown, in the environs of the city. there was a good deal of curios- ity as to what the authorities would do. This curiosity was sharpened by the fact that Sheriff E. J. Hanratty, of Cuyahoga county, who had jurisdic- tion over the track, had been elected to office on an anti -gambling pledge. The sheriff announced that he would permit no violation of the law. But .Judge Frederick Walther, of the court of common pleas, at the urging of lawyers representing the race track people, issued an injunction, one of the meet curious of the kind ever to appear. He enjoined the sheriff from interfering with the rac- ing and "contribution system" if "the same he not in violation of the laws of Ohio." The effect of this injunc- tion was to terrify the sheriff. How was he to know whether the system was in violation of the laws of Ohio? One would suppose that it was the duty of the judge to instruct him in the law. But Judge Walther merely intimidated him and he did not act. As a matter of fact, the meet was soon called off, the promoters evi- dently believing that the had been skating en thin ice. When the in- junction was issued the Cleveland Press, original unite of the Scripps - Howard chain of newspapers, pro- tested against it in a stinging edi- torial, written by Mr. Matson and published with the sanction of Mr. Selzer, the editor. The editorial, which was somewhat modified in suc- ceeding issues of the paper, was ad- dressed to the perplexed sheriff, and certainly showed no particular re- spect for the sheriff or judge. We quote a few paragraphs: "Then comes the judge, Frederick P. Wal - thing, gets an idea that it can kick ther, who has long taken orders from the interests which wanted Thistle- down to continue. "This judge issues the most mons- trous injunction order which has been put out from the bench in Cuyahoga county in our time. "He enjoins the sheriff of this coun- ty from doing his sworn duty of en- forcing the law. If any act of a judge can drive him from the bench this act of Wlalther's should do it. "If this injunction can he sustain- ed, almost any injunction to restrain an officer of the law from doing his duty can be sustained. "Almost any bootlegger, gambler, divekeeper, or what not, can get an injunction to keep the arresting of- ficers from his door. "Of course, it won't stand. Walther knows it, if he knows any laws at all. The Thistledown gang knows it. "But they are trading on your na- tural lack of nerve, sheriff. They figure that you won't stack up against a judicial injunction no mat- ter how much of a travesty it is up- on its very name. "That's the trouble with being bluffed dawn and kicked about. The gang that kicks you about on one you about on everything. And they're pretty nearly right. "As long as you are so scared tlltat the very words 'apple butter' throw you into a cold sweat, sheriff, you can't expect to stand up against the hard -handed outfit that runs the rac- ing racket in this county." The newspapermen were defend®di ably, one might almost say fiercely, by Mr. Newton D. Baker, formerly secretary of war under Woodrow Wil- son and one of the most distinguish- ed citizens of Cleveland. He made n fine defence of the liberties of the press, and pointed out that a jird_ had just the same redress as an other citizen when he was libelled. argued that a judge should not admit the possibility that he could be intim- idated by anything said about hitna that he should be above such consid- erations. He also said that as theme was no jury trial in prospect, nobody being accused of anything, the pub- lication of the article could not ore - judice possible jurors. It was the duty of the press to defend the levee and in this case the newspaper Wein convinced that tlfere was a conapa'. acy to break the laws. The case batt been appealed and the O'li ov sst newspapermen say that the prmishw gent of a $600 line and a nautithb imprisonment is a small thing tlttea in defence of the principle +a9Atlel4 Ii • at stake.
