Says the league:
II. To defend our individual rights OF
thought and action.
III. To protect the traditions and the
high ideals Of the stage that were i'm
perilled in this strike.
iii. To improve the conditions OF the
actor through legitimate channels
nv. To repudiate. the breaking OF
contracts and to enforce in our profess
sion the respect of the law, such being
the first duty of every American citizen
irrespective of his profession"
David Warfleld supplemented this with

Triple Industrial Alliance,

Federation (275.00O). OF It he says:
1T is labor combination for direct
action to achieve economic purposes ulti-
mately. 1t aims beyond wages and well
fare clear to naturalization OF certain
industries If accented as 100

be undoubtedly a standing menace, not
