MOVIE STARS HARD HIT
NV United 'Press)

Los Angeles, Jan. 1.-THE day of
fabulous salaries for movie stars, ex-
cess releases of productions by over
paid directors and executives is at an
end, the chiefs of the great Los An
geles Film company agreed today.
The last few months has ceen a grad
ual change in the movie business as
in other lines, due to the general
business depression.
AS a result the movie chiefs have
decided that during 1921: Fewer
stars will twinkle. Fewer produc-
lions will be released. Salaries OF
screen favorites will not be so large.
Thousands Of cinema actors nave
been thrown out Of work. There has
been a wholesale slashing OF wages
Of those retained.
Decreases in attendance at moving
picture houses has been ono OF tho
big causes of the upheaval. Marshal
Neilan, producer and head of his own
organization, expressed the opinion
that the situation is only temporary.
"While it IS to be regretted from
the viewpoint OF the players, 1t is a
healthy condition for the industry as
. WHOLE" he said.

Open Shop Plans
(By United Press

Chicago, Jan. 11.-Big business OF
the nation will tomorrow launch its
fight on the closed shop and the plan
of the railroad brotherhoods for es-
tablishment of a board OF labor ad-
justment under the transportation
act of congress.
Organized labor all over the coun-

for the purpose of protesting the

William Butterworth, vice-presid-
ent Of the Chamber Of Commerce Of

the national conference, has invited
he following big employers to ad-
dress the convention: Charles
Schwab. president of the Bethlehem
Steel Coz; Ebert II. Gary, head of
the United States Steel Corporation; ;
Dwight w. Morrow Of J. p. Morgan
and Co.; F. A. Seiberling, Goodyear
Tire and Rubber Co.; Charles Picz,

brotherhoodis plan of a national
board of adjustment would mean the
opening wedge fou = adjective bYr
gaining and the closed shop in all
branches Of industry, according to
Butterworth.
Railway executives are opposing
the plan of the brotherhoods, But
terworth said, because lit would
mean the naturalization Of rail
roads under the demonatiOn Of labor
unions, and the destruction Of disci-
pline, efficiency and loyalty"
Manufacturers are meeting be-
cause they fear the national adjust
ment board plan, If established In
the railroads, would spread to other
industries.
Full discussion Of the open shop
plan is to be had at the conference,
officials said. The immigration prob
