ACTORS ORGANIZATION
THREATENS TO STRIKE
1900 Of Best Talent in COur-
Try Make Demands.

New York, June 4.-The Actors
Equity association, which comprises
some 1000 of the best talent in the
country, has been quietly obtaining
pledges from it's members to go on
strike if tie big managers will not
come to time and agree to give con.
tracts suitable to the association.
Already $50 actors have given their
word to stand by the demands of the
association and walk out if these de-
mands are not acceded to.
1t is the first time in the history of
the American stage that any concert
cd movement on the part of the actors
has been made against their managers.
The actors are trying to secure a uni
form standard Of contract which can,
If need be, be taken. into court with
some hope of success. They are also
trying to secure en- agreement to GER
tain conditions under which actors
may be engaged, and they are trying
TO obtain full pay for their members
during Christmas week and Holy week
which are said to be the most disas-
trous weeks in the whole year for
members Of the profession.

ONE MANS OPINIONS
BY N. D. COCHRAN

A Story's Two SIdes.-Doubtless
you've noticed that that labor union
story has two sides. Generally we
get only the side that reflects on the
unions. In this story we may get the
other side.
II is developing that there are con-
tractors in Chicago who will use
agents of labor unions to call strikes
and otherwise bother rivals in bust
ness of the contractors pay well
for making it difficult, if not impos-
sible, for their rivals to successfully
compete.
1t may develop that there is an en-
ployers' union that treat employers
not in the tight little union as bust
ness scabs.
If this is true, then it means that
in certain lines of business, the en-
ployers in the combine enjoy prac-
teal monopoly, can charge what they
please for their work, break anybody
who underbids them and make all
kinds of money themselves.
When such situation can be Gre
ated, 1t pays to pay literally any
crooked labor agents who have the
power to use the unions in such a
game, and are willing to take that
kind of easy money.
If the crooks on both sides get
caught at it, the labor crook is the
goat, of course. With him it is crook
edness; with the employer who buys
and uses him, it is business" Even
if the employer tempted the labor
agent and corrupted him, on the
showdown the man who was bought
will get the worst of it and will be
placed before the public as a black
mailer who held up a reputable BUSH
ness man.
So long as the workers themselves
are getting good wages, they don't
bother their heads about how their
leaders brought it about. That is, the

Newspapers and AdVertising.-For
your own enlightenment watch what
newspapers say about themselves,
and you can easily understand the
real object of publishers.
When they boast, what do they
boast of?
How many newspaper ads did YOU
ever read about increased circula-
ton, that indicated the publisher
wanted to reach a larger audience so
he could do more good for more peo-
pie?
And how many of such announce
ments have YOU read that showed
plainly the purpose of convincing
merchants that they could make
money by placing their ads in those
particular papers?
But haven't YOU noticed that most
of the boasts, made in big ads, are
about how many lines, or inches, of
advertising that paper ran in excess
of what others ran?
Wouldn't it seem that the marker
of success was the amount of adver-
Using the papers got?
Wasn't it plain that the publisher
had in mind that if he got more adver-
Using than a rival paper, his was a
better newspaper than the other?
And isn't it plain that he thinks that
if his paper gets more advertising
than all others in the same field to-
gether, his is the worlds greatest
newspaper?
Greater or greatest in what?
Every time 1 read about that silly
boast in the Tribune, think of the
midnight school lease, and how the
school children of Chicago are losing
annually thousands of dollars that
are going into the Tribune>t till.
And often when l look over the
Daily News, wonder how its owner
can sleep peacefully when he thinks
