UNIONS AND THE STAGE

Nov it is Mr.. Iicsfcld. the "Follies"
L Y man, who is in the midst of q little war
with the organized labor of the stage and
threatening. as George NJ. Cohan did. to say
good-by forever to the American theatre
because of an inability to get on with the
Actors EQuity Association.
Tho American stage and thc people who
sing. dance. pose. leap and gesture thereon
hn"c been very good 10 Mr.. Zicgtcld and
Mr.. Cohan. and the American people have
been even better. Mr.. Ziegfcld and Mr..
Cohan are clever and amusing persons. and
because they are clever one may venture to
suppose that their wild farcwells and their
expressed determination to depart forever
from this our land mean little. Each
wants to go where there will be no labor
unions 10 trouble and hamper the artistic
mind and the mind that rules the box Office.
But where could they go?
Actors Grc in the British Labor Party
and so are authors and chorus girls and the
musicians. The British unions do not bar
even the folk WHO play solos on the from
bone or the 1ylophonc. A producer of Fol-
lies or Cohan shows would surely have Il
hard time in Russia. where any one with
any sort of talent is supposed to work for
two meals day and sleeping quarters in
Soviet barracks. and where the people arc
asked to find delight in the dank plays Of
Comradc Chckov. Could Mr.. Cohan express
his art in the Scandinavian? Would Fol-
lies be source Of profit in C2echo Slovakia?
Hardly. Mr.. Cohan and Mr.. Ziegfeld will
stay in the United States, where the staying
is good.
Doubtless the Actors Equity Association
knows how to be high handed now and then.
It's leaders and officers have studied at the
feet Of the bricklayers, the carpenters and
the plumbers. And all the knowledge they
have gained is by no means evil. That much
Is apparent In the nature Of the row which
Mr.. Iicgfeld is having with the union.
There was promise 10 pay some players for
a special Thanksgiving performance not
provided for in the contracts. and because
the management sought 70 revive an old
rule which made of the proceeds from special
performances gift to the management. some
of the members of the chorus struck and
two were. as the saying goes. fired. y gen
cral wakout was then threatened and
nvertcd when the insurgents were rcinstatcI
in the cast.
Such brushes of temperament arc hardly
enough to Justify n play producer in seeking
4 home in lands afar. The theatre managers
continue to mourn about the killing effect
OF labor union routine and restrictions on
the stage. There nre logic and justice in
much of what they say. In every play and
every PLAYER there must be some flicker of
artistry. and artists do not work we'll within
any formula. When managers and actors
begin to quarrel over these subtler dsad
vantagcs Of unlOnizcd stage it will be pos
sible to take sides and recognize ground FOR
debate. But it is fact that some old stage
traditions permitted the consistent pinching
OF actors and actresses through extra per-
formanccs and overtime work for which no
pay was given. The Actors Equity has
been fighting that tradition and it ought TO
win.

MOTOR THlEVERY

NHOTORCAR thieves have no reason for
lNl complaining about poor business this
year. They have managed to get possession
Of about ten cars day in this city ever
since January !. October was their best
month when they stole 39i cars. There
was slump in November and thus far in
December tho October record has not boon
equaled.
The police. however. deserve commcnda-
ton for the success in recovering the stolen
cars. OF the total. 325S. they have sue
cesded in returning to the owners all but
473. What became of these is not known,
but 1t is suggested that many of them were
sunk in the river or driven into ponds or into
water holes in abandoned stone quarres with
the knowledge and consent OF the owners,
who wished to collect the insurance.
But when one out Of every seven stolen
cars is recovered. even If the thieves arc
not all punished. the police are working 30
some purpose. Take the record for the first
twenty two days of this month as an exam
pic and it shows of tho 2I3 cars stolen 2l1
had been found. Some of tho remaining
twenty six will probably be found before
the month ends.
So long as this condition prevails the
motorcar owners will not have to organize
vigilance committees. as the horse owners
used to do, in order to protect their prop
erty.

BIRTH RECORDS A NECESSITY

DR. FURBUSH'S appeal for the careful
- registration Of all births in Philadelphia
might be called a restatcment of the obvious
did not Indifference to this necessary obli-
CATION persist. 1t is estimated thar some
1000 births in this city were unrccordcd this
year.
When the newcomers thus unannounced
reach neutrality-suspicious. even bcforc-thCy
are likely TO be exceedingly handicapped by
lack Of official records. Birth certificates
are required for passports. They arc some
times needed in proof of legitimacy. They are
often wanted for identification purposes, c.
Declally by certain classes Of employers of
labor. Health records in the municipality
ranuot be accurately kept without a complete
return of births.
Registration is not a mere domnnd Of
fsddist statisticans but n basic necessity in
the present structure Of civilization. Physi-
clans and parents alike arc guilty of some
thing more than Indifference in failing to

bearing once famous names may know at
last what they have been drinking. They
have been drinking alcohol and water col
ored with tea or burnt sugar and favored
with chemicals. And they have been paying
about twenty times the regular commercial
worth of the mixture.

COST OF EDUCATION

nR. FINEGAN. State Superintendent OF
~ Public Instruction has taken advantage
Of the opportunity offered by the assembling
of the Educational Association of the Com
monwealth at Altoona to reply to some of
the attacks of the Grange upon his methods.
He has insisted that he has not consolidated
the rural schools nor has he abolished the
school with a single room. What has been
done has been done by the Legislature. And
he has defended the expenditure Of money to
improve the school system.
1t is generally understood that the grev-
ance of the Grange is that DR.. Finegan has
advocated longer school year for the rural
districts. The farmers DO not like to pay
the extra money required for the extra weeks
of schooling and they do not like TO have
their children in school when there is work
to do on the farm.
This grievance cannot stand examination.
although it is backed by charges Of cxtrava-
Sance The schools of this State have been
starved for so many years that any approach
TO the expenditure of an adequate sum on
them would seem like extravaganza. If it
csn be shown that the money is wasted the
friends of the schools will take the opposition
of the Grange seriously. but the salaries
paid in Pennsylvania are lower than those
paid in New Jersey and the rural school
houses here arc much poorer than those
across the Delaware River.
DR.. Finegan has star tho State in the
right direction and he should be supported
until he accomplishcs what he has set out
