furnished exclusively by the rival Ac-
tors Fidelity League.

contract that would permit actors TO
| select officials from 'an association"

They already have pledged support to
the strike and threats have been made
that the motion picture players will
walk out if the producing managers
continue in their refusal to recognize
the Equity.
Executives of the Equity were busy
putting the final touches on the three
new shows with which the Equity will
signalize Labor Day under the direction
of Earl Booth, who Is developing q
national profit sharing syndicate of hia
own.
