Affidavit.

|. W. A. Trims. the undersigned
state under oath that the following
statements are true and correct:
That during the month of Deem
Der or November of the year 1915, O.
proposition and offered to employ me
on the terms below set forth: That in
consideration of my agreeing to work
fer the period of six months ! was to
receive the sum of $500 per week
straight time for operating a moving
picture machine a, Hauber's place of
business, that my pay was to be
given me every Saturday night in the
form of a check for $500 and that
was to give him back the sum OF
$500 thus making my wages in fact
$500 per week These statements
are true and correct.
W. A. TINS.
Subscribed and sworn to before me
this the 25th day of February. 1916.
C. C. BREWSTER,
Justice of the Peace.
This explains, we believe, his pref
erence for the apprentice.
He wanted this apprentice boy to
fool the union by showing check for
$500 per week as the salary of
operators and then return half the
money to him.
Being refused the services of the
apprentice boy, the manager then told
The union representative he would
send out of town for man, which he
did, bringing man from Nashville,
by the name CT Gu II. He states MI.
GULL. was a good union man and
rI ints a nice letter from Mr.. GULL.
We very heartily coucur with the
manager in his statement that Mr..
GULL was a good union man, as Mr..
GULL appeared before the Central
Trades Council and endorsed before
that body, the action of the Stage En-
ployes. stating he would not go to
work for this place. even though the
union should see fit to grant him a
permit. Mr.. Quill also appeared be-
fore the manager in tine presence OF
members of our committee and stated
to him personally he was wrong.
The manager in his statement does
not tell exactly how he managed to
get Mr.. GULL to come here. Mr.. Gull
stated he was asked TO obtain per-
MT from his home local OF Nashville
to work in pine Bluff, this he took to
mean that there was no local OF his
unicn in Pine Bluff. He knew and SO
stated, that II there was q local union
n Fine bluff, his home local at Nash
| Vile, would have no jurisdiction here
and permit would have to be issued
from this local. He neglected before
coming to look the matter up.

Lawson at putting down chairs In
new nlayhpuse previous to It's open
ling and tsaems TO think ne was ms
treated by the operators when Mr.
Lawson ives informed he could no.

ward. through investigation. found the
union absolutely in the right under
their eonstitut On and laws.
The manager states he pays his
operator So more than union scale
and sometimes as high as 500. In
answer to this argument, we will +ay
the union does not ask this of him.
and before the public accepts this
statement, would respectfully ask that
everybody take good squirt at the
above signed affidavit, and also. ask
any member of the Musicians unior.
if he was paying the union scale for
musicians when he had their first
trouble with him. We may have more
tc say obout this later on.
The union does not ask tiis mana
ger to DO anything to work hardship
| upon Himself. We have two other
| picture shows in town, the Ohpheo
and the Best, who are signed up with
| the union and using their slide and
are doing and expecting to do exactly
what this manager refuses to do.

| States. using this slide, have signed
| Up under like conditions. Why should
! he be favored over the two houses
who are willing to be fair?
The manager concludes by making
| a proposition to arbitrate, but his
proposition is not SO far as it seems.
There is very serious condition in
that he must be allowed to write the
verdict for the committee. No matte
what the decision of uninterested
committee. he must be allowed to
keep mis- man.
We will offer proposition in leu
of his. This committee is perfectly
willing and anxious TO meet the
mana ger before committee of dis
interested parties. as he suggests and
go into the controversy in deta |.
II the manager is willing to d.
this.> we will allow himself to select
Q committee Of three or five and
notify the president or secretary OF
Trades Council, giving names. This
committee Will select like number
end meet him any time and place.
From this side we are perfectly will

public.

Chinese Servants,

The servants in Chinese family
are not expensive, so far as wages are
concerned, but they cost a great deal
in perduisites They rarely receive
more than two dollars a month, but
thew are given their food, and they
helm themselves lavishly to anything
thew may DESIRE They dress them
selves from the old clothing of the
family, freely take the hairpins and
the toilet articles Of the mistress,
clothe their children from the COM

him unfair to the Operators Union
and no i.nion operator could work COR
him under the laws OF the organize

AS TO his statement that Lawson
was informed that he had been fined
by the LEGAL in the sum of $50 seems
tC be fabrication. pure and mple.
Our committee has asked the mana
ger fer the names of parties who in
formed Mr.. Lawson he had been fined
and neither Mr.. lawson or the mana
ger has beeA able to remember who It
was.
After the new house was opened
Mr.. Lawson was seen by members Of
the executive committee of the union
and asked not to operate the machine
at this house until the manager and
the un on should come to an adjust
mint, Mr.. Lawson stated that he
must make living and he had a
grocery bill and etc. to pay. He
was then informed tina the union
would take care of his bills while out
of work if he would stay true to union
principles. Mr.. Lawson refused AMI
preferred to disregard his DBL CATION
and voluntarily gave up Z his card.
Now this is the man the manager has
stated must be taken back into The
Union in order 10 perfect a settle
ment.
The manager states he was himself
a member of the Stage Employees
Union and worked under its protec-
ton. Consequently, he must know it's
laws, but he S asking the union to
break the very laws which protected
lin as q journeyman and would not
allow he and others to be imposed
upon by some man who might be
willing to accept a check of $500
Ter week as pay and then return $500

He states the constitution of Stag
EMPLOYEES require them TO bring their
trouble before the Trades Council
before taxing action. Having been
member he should know the consti'
tuition makes 10 such requirement.

THE OTHER SIDE
OF THE PICTURE
SHOW TROUBLE

In th2 Commercial of yesterday was
quite lengthy statement from the !
manager of the Hauber and A-Aluse-u |
theatres. giving his side of the con- |
troversy between himself and the |
Stage Employees Un'on.
The committee from the Central |
Trades Council appointed by that !
body 10 investigate the trouble and !
to effect an understanding. deem it |
necessary to acquaint the public with |
the ether side of the story. inasmuch
as the manager of the play houses
mas seen fit to take the matter into
inc newspapers, and, also, because of
us very broad mis-representat ons.
beSlnnlng. he explained that four
or i've weeks prior to opening Of his
new house he asked. the representa-
tlves OF the union whom they would
furnish as operator. He says the mat
ter was constantly put Off but doesn't
'ake the trouble to say why. appar-
emily with the intention of making
'he people bel eve the union was
DONG tie putting off. The truth
OF the matter is that the union repre-
sentative told the manager he had
three jcurneymen from whom he
could choose
He refused to make choice of
these men and finally proposed 10
take an apprentice boy fer the Job by
the name OF w. A. Timms. being in
formed by the union men that Mr..
llmms was an apprentice, and could
not be allowed to operate a machine
when journeymen could be secured.
Ire manager replied by say ng that
II he was but allowed to take Timms,
re would not take any man they Of
tered and would send out of town and
get man.
The manager has made statements
that men offered by the union were
incompetent and have not sufficient
experience to operate his machine.
Inc managers contention as to COM
petency will read ly appear when it is
known tfat one of the men whom he
refused TO take had been taken into
Tie un on as an operator at the mana
gers behest at time of previous
trouble. This concession being granted
Icy the union to avoid trouble at that
time. The manager at that time
CANNING he was perfectly compe-
tent man and should be taken into
me union as an operator He now
says this same man is incompetent,
but he doesn't say IN his article that
he admitted to our committee that it
was NOT a question of competency.
Why should he now claim a man in
ccmpef ent. who has had great deal
more experience than when he was
perfectly Competent before. and why
should he claim incompetence Of man
who has had experience on his own
machine in his own house and then
want to hire an apprentice who had
had title experience on any machine.
Now. we have little affidavit we
want the public to read, which may
explain his preference, for the ap-
prentice. The affidavit, is signed by
the apprentice in question, and is as
follows:

BAR RUFFLEs IN KITCHEN.
Miss Hunt Gives Pointers on Clothes
in Culinary Department.

Manhattan, Kan. Feb. 25.-What's
what in house dresses? That is what
every housewife wants to know. old
clothes with fluffy ruffles and decora-
tons are not in good taste in the
kitchen. Dresses made from heavy
materials are not sanitary and do not
look well.
There is a right and wrong in
house dresses" says Miss Florence
Hunt, assistant in domestic art in the
Kansas State Agricultural college. If
a woman wants to look attractive in
her home and incidentally shorten the
hours spent bending over the wash tub,
she must wear the right dress.
1.-The first require -ent of the cos
tune for house wear is that it be made
in one piece. This insures comfort
and ease of adjustment. 1t must open
in the front or on the front side. The
housewife will find it convenient to
have the buttons and buttonholes eX-
tend the full length of the skira- If the
dress is made in this fashion it will be
easily ironed. The kitchen frock
should have short sleeves, a low neck
and a short skirt. The material for
the work dress should always be of
good wearing quality. If trimming is
used it must be of better quality than
the main part of the gown
