MOVIE OPERATORS
 PROTEST THEATERS
Dreamland and Majestic Refuse to Employ Union Men, So
 Council Acts.

On complaint of representatives of the Moving Picture Operators that the man agers of the Dreamland theatre on Grand Ave-. and the Majestic on Oak St. refused to employ union operators being the only two in the city that do not now have competent union operators in their machine booths, the Trades Coun- cils last night appointed special commit tees to wait on the managers and urge them to change their attitude. In case of a refusal to do so the matter with them will then be taken up with the In tcrnational officers for action
 The delegates reported that the Grand Ave. theatre man refused to engage a union man because his brother needed the job and wouldn't join the union. The Oak St. manager declared he didn't give a rap for the union as he was backed by a large film organization and didn't have to employ union men. Both theatres are in neighborhoOds inhabited largely by union men therefore the council took the matter up and will endeavor to stra1ghten the matter out,
 It was also reported that the Vim chester theatre in Winchester Ave. had reopened and that a clause in the lease provided that a non-union operator man ager formerly employed there should be engaged The theatre did reopen but only for one day last week and IS agam closed Pending further developments the matter was dropped.

TROLLEY COMPANY COLLECTING EXCESS
 WAGES FROM MEN
Taking Out Sums Paid During Arbitration Period at soc
 to $2 Week.

Following the terms of the decision by the board appointed to arbtrate the wage question between the Connecticut com parry and the trolley employees. by which the award reducing the wages of the men eight and one-third per cent was made retroactive to June 1. the Connecticut company is collecting the wages paid the men while the arbitration was pending, that were in excess of the final figures of the award. The decision was given dur ing the middle of October. having been hanging fire from June 1, and the total amount to be extracted from the weekly earnings of the men now, totals between %5, ,000 and $lDO,000 which the company is now getting back. The taking back IS being done in sums ranging from 50 cents to $2 a week according to the seniority and pay of the men and affects the older men therefore more than the younger and less paid members
 When the decision of the arbitrators was rendered about October 20 and made # retroactive until June 1. the employees Df the trolley company had been receiving their former rate of pay from June l, the company paying II without question uend- ing the dispute over the new scale. The high prices of foods and living prevailing at that time took away the weekly wage faster than the men could earn 1t and therefore 1t was hoped that the company having won its stand for reductiOn and having paid out the money to the en- ploycs would realizing the living condit- ions of the times not enforce the retroac- tiev clause of the decision but would be content with having secured the reduction In fact officers and men of the employees unions believed such would be the case although now it appears that they had no cause for this belief.
 The reward being made retroactive 1t was therefore fully within it's rights in collecting the refund from the employees and proceeded to do so. Inasmuch as the trollcymen do not make enough weekly to permit of it being taken out in lump sums a plan was finally devised to take it out piece meal and to that end a week ly stipend is deducted from the pay en- velopes,
 By the system devised the deductions will spread over many months and will continue. in most cases, almost up to the time of the expiration of the present agreement. June 1. next. From 50 cents to $2 Is being taken out weekly all over the systems
