THE ACTORS GRIEVANCE.
Cheap Foreign Histrions Thinning
the Profession.

WAsHINGr0S. Dec. ia commit
tee representing the Actors Order OF
Friendship appeared before the Ford
committee on she iHve tigation OF i'm
migration to-day and asked that the
contract labor law be amended so as
to include professional actors and
musicians among the classes prohib-
tied from entering the United States
under a contract The committee said
that large number OF foreign actors
were annually brought 20 this country
for the sole reason that they work
cheaper than American actors. They
did not object 10 the presence Of stars,
but TO the host OF minor actors they
brought with them and the cheap
actors whom American managers i'm
port solely because OF their cheapnesS.
Their profession was already over
crowded, and they thought themselves
fairly entitled TO protection against
the wholesale importation Of cheap
foreign actors who were under no OBJ
legations 20 the Uniaed States and left
when their engagement was at an
end
The committee also complains that
wardrobes and stage properties are
all imported contrary 10 law without
the payment OF customs duties and to
the detriment OF Americans. This
was done through ballet girls and
Others falsely swearing that the ward
robes and other properties were their
personal effects.
