MOVING PICTURE OPERATORS
LOCAL No. II

The moving picture operators wish
to contradict the statement that is
current about a strike, and wish to
enlighten all who have been so mis-
informed regarding said strike.
We, as a Local. each year form a
new contract which goes into effect
the first day of September, and owing
to some new clauses in the contract
there was a necessary delay in the
signing. The reason some of the
members did not work on last Sun
day was purely a misunderstanding
among some of the managers, but the
difficulty has been very satisfactorily
settled, the managers granting an in
crease over the previous scale. The
operators, some of whom have chang
ed positions, still remain at work, and
| think with one accord will do their
best for their respective managers,
and We wish each and every theatre
and picture house in the city the very
best success for the coming season.
Signed,
A. M. P. Operators.
