MOVIE WORKERS
MAY GET PAY
INCREASE
20 Per Cent Raise Reported
Agreed On for Operators
and Musicians.

A compromise on 20 per cert
salary increase for three important
classes of theatrical employees in
Washington as a means OF staving
off a threatened strike on September
/, il expected to follow as result
of q meeting called for today in
the offices of Harry N. Crandall.
AZ allday conference yesterday
between representatives of theatre
owners and union musicians and mo-
ton picture operators. two Of the
classes concerned, resulted in an
agreement on the 20 per cent basis,
it is understood.
The third class, the stage hands,
will have representatives in con-
ference with the owners today and.
If similar agreement can be reached
for this class Of workers, it is ex-
pected that the theater owners will
be conciliatory in their attitude. As
q wage increase has already been
granted members OF the Interna-
tional Alliance of Theater Stage En-
ployes, including the stage hands of
local theaters, 1t is anticipated they
will readily fall in line.
Should the negotiations for a flat
20 per cent increase for all three
classes fail, it is stated, there will
be a strike, in which the alliance
would join despite it's wage increase,
beginning September /.
The musicians, through the pres
ident of the local union, Courtenny
Hayden, pointed out in yesterdays
conference that musicians in Wash
ington theaters were not granted in
creases during the war in keeping
with those in other cities and stated
that Washington musicians are new
the poorest paid Of those in any of
the large cities Of the country.
In Chicago, they said wages of $78
a week are paid theater musicians,
as against $50 week here.
The same situation exists in the
case of the motion picture operators,
1t was stated, no increase in salary
! having been granted in this city
| during the war, though increases
were given in other large cities.
Local theaters, they declare, have
shown continually increasing profits
during the past two years and can
meet g. 20 per cent increase in
wages without difficulty.

meanest thief" Judge James Gay
Gordon, jr., of Quarter Sessions
Court here, recently sentenced Dunn
to ten years in the county prison
for robbing the poor box Of a church.
Dunn'S long police record gave him
no chance Of judicial mercy.

on the part OF William KoenIg, a

Catholic Church.

Koenig heard someone enter the
church and went upstairs. There
he saw Dunn, apparently kneeling
in prayer in one Of the pews. AS
Koenig was about to leave he saw
the supposedly praying man watch.

fingers and decided to be on guard.
Slamming the door at the back of
the church, to make the knee1ing
man think he had departed, Koenlg
stealthily crept up to the gallery and
peered over.

down from the stained glass win

glanced hastily about, and made a

leaped downstairs and was upon him
in an instant, subduing him after
a brief struggle. Q
