CONTRAST BETWEEN
SHOP CONDITIONS

An Illuminating contrast Of union
and open-shop employers was had
when the United Typothetae, an or
g~anization of employing printers met
in convention. The Typothetae has
two divisions-the closed shop and the
open shop. The latter endeavors to
make up in noise and buster what it
lacks in numbers and sagacity.
At a separate meeting of the closed
shop division it was voted to cooper
ate with the printing trade unions in
a campaign for better sanitation, of
health and happiness Of employees in
the industry, and $4,000 was voted for
this purpose.
At the same time in another part Of
the Willard Hotel where the conven-
ton was held, the open-shop members
OF the Typothetae held a gloomy con-
clave. Among the laments were that

Noted Author of
"MelOs" Passes On

A famous theatrical figure has
just passed on, in the death Of
Theodore Kremer. A German by
birth, he came to this country at
an early age and turned to acting,
playing in Mrs. Leslie Carriers COM
pany for a time.
1t was as the author of a GER
tain type of play, however, that
kremer was known to American
audiences twenty years ago, His
first play, written to conform
to a set of posters ordered by
AL II. Woods, was The Bowery
After Dark" and this was fol
lowed by The Fatal Wedding"
and other plays of a similar ma
ture.
Martin Herman, of the Woods
office, recalled this week that
many of the plays done by krc-
mer were based upon actual and
sensational incidents in the days
news. The Crippin case, for eX-
ample, and the murder of Elsie
Siegel ("The Chinatown Trunk
Mystery'D and the exploits of
the Biddle brothers. c'The Great
Express Robbery suggested his
plots to him.
Like Owen Davis, his asso-
ciate in the construction of
early thrillers, Kremer seems to
have had very little in his nat
ural inclinations and early train
ing to fit him for the kind of
PLAYS he was writing.
kremer was a scholarly man
and passionately fond of the
opera. Suddenly, one day, having
made a comfortable sum from
his work for Woods, he refused to
continue. No arguments could
move him.
II don't need any more money"
he said. II have enough for my
needs, and I'm going to spend the
rest of my life enjoying the things
