allowed and all bridges are strictly
up to standard being made mostly of
concrete.
St Landry started the good roads
program in this part Of the state, when
some years ago, it spent a hundred
thousand dollars experimenting
with gravel as surfacing material,
building from Opelousas east to Port
Barre; west to Lawtell; north to
Washington; south to Sunset. All
agree these roads were not construct
ed according to scientific plans and
that they are now sadly in need OF re-
building. However, they have proved
their worth and indicate that the
money was not expended all in vain.
Those who use the Sunset road con-
stantly state that it has been practi-
cally ruined by recent working" in
that the gravel has been covered with
dirt dragged on it by graders. The
fairness or unfairness OF this COM
plant rests with those making it.
1t. is patent, however, that unless
some radical steps are taken the de-
velopment of the road system of the
parish is going to drag along for a
long period of time. The money is
lying in the banks and being spent in
driblets and the actual benefits de-
rived from such expenditure is rather
doubtful. II the system is to be Of
use to the people it must be eompre-
hensiYe and Of such construction that
no one win have cause to complain.
We can well model our future efforts
on those Of Lafayette, which parish
has established a record that is really
enviable in the matter of giving all
its people system that is unsurpass-
ed anywhere in the state or the south.
Any other plan would be suicidal in
deed.

Burlesquefo forOpen
Shop in Musicians
and Stage Hands
Producers Declare New Policy
j. Forced by Attitude
Of Unions.

At meeting of the Burlesque Pro
ducers Association. which embraces
producers or the attractions playing the
Columbia Amusement Company thea
tres. yesterday it was decided 10 adopt
for next season the open shop policy
with regard 10 stage hands and M
sicians.
After the meeting the soiowing state
ment was given out:
Under presen. conditions the pro-
ducers realize that II Is impossible 20
operate attractions with any degree OF
success from a financial standpoint
The Stage Hands Union and the Mu-
sicians Union have continued year after
year to impose conditions OF serious
nature that have been unfair TO the
producer. and the added burden has
reached a point where the producer had
to call halt
The majority or shows have just
completed their financial statement for
the year as of June /, and find that
they have incurred losses amounting to
thousands of dollars. and also find that
the gross business taken in at the box
office has already returned to the pre-
war level, and have found IL necessary
10 readjust their business and conform
with the pre-war times.
The Stage Hands and Musicians
unions. while their salaries have
mounted with the conditions prevail
ing during the war. have evinced no
desire TO meet the producers half way
in trying to effect a readjustment. It
has. therefore. been resolved by the
producers of this association to declare
an open shop policy and engage people
on terms mutually satisfactory without
Interference or dictation on the part
of individuals not direct parties to such
actions. We have always endeavored
TO treat our workers fairly and hon
estly and we expect to continue TO
do So
II Is possible that the action OF the
buresque producers may be followed by
other managers. II. X. Miner president
OF the association, could not be reached
last night, but Sam A. Scribner of the
executive board, head of the company
operating the Columbia Theatre here
and one Of the prominent figures in
burlesque, further explained the reasons
for the move.
the stage hands have become impos-
sible" he said. ''Our business has been
falling off, and we want TO reduce ex-
penses and get back TO normal again.
We want them to do the same. This is
primarily move to get back to pre-war
conditions"
lie said the association, which con-
trolls forty houses all over the country,
employs about 400 stage hands and the
same number Of musicians The stage
help. he said. was being paid from $40
10 s65 a week, and the instrumentalists
from S55 10 s110. The open shop
declaration. he said, did not affect the
actors. He anticipated no strike, as all
the employees were laid off with the
closing of all the burlesque houses for
the season with the exception Of the
