BILE" directors in the interest of their
poor, underpaid and overworked slave
extras. The writer is deeply moved
almost to tears. This free" bureau
planned for the near future" long
ago-"will be operated on basis OF
absolute fairness" Just think of it,
you victims of the movie fever, kleig
lights, employment sharks and bad
checks!
The Workers Millennium.
The millennium of the Christians is
period during which Satan will be
bound But the millennium of the
movie extras and other wage slaves
will come when the employment
sharks and similar exploiters of labor
are bound to a wheelbarrow and
dressed In union-made overalls.
Complete House Cleaning.
"The economic result of establishing
this bureau is hailed to be more far
reaching than anything yet done in
relation to employees" a report says.
But a statement like that does not
mean much, coming, as it does, from
the mouths of owners of an industry
with an extremely low labor standard.
The new bureau will also automatic
ally wipe out of existence all ques-
employment agencies, makeup
schools, schools for acting, scenario
schools, and other pretended agen-
cies," they claim.
The records in the office Of the
labor commission show that in the
past ten years IS agencies have been
closed because of their questionable
methods. But. in spite of this So
called house cleaning, Hayes is the
head of the greatest fakerdom in the
country today. -tu
Annually this industry has over
200, 900 placements of casual labor, the
largest of any industry. Idle men,
children, widows and fatherless are
exploited to their bones in their strug-
giles for jobs that give them miser-
able existence from day to day.
Slim Chance to Become Stars.
Eighteen Hollywood hopefuls, in
GLIDING a heterogeneous array of
blondes, brunettes and bellboks, are
the lucky remnants of an army of
10000 who had competed in a nation
wide elimination contest for the privi-
lege Of attending a movie school. The
hope of stardom on the silver screen
cost the students a paltry sum of
1900.
From the point of view Of both ex-
tras and would-be stars, the motion
picture industry offers no good oppor-
tunities to the masses either in the
way of bread and butter or stardom.
The hope for riches or fame, or both,
in movieland is as much of an illusion
as the ridiculous saying of the master
class that every mothers son has
chance to become president or mil
lionaire in this country"
Workers Rule Only Hope.
Under the workers rule, however,
this industry could be directed into a
powerful medium for useful education
in the interest Of the producing class
workers and real tillers of the soil.
At present it is only an instrument
thru which the master class is pouring
out streams of poisonous propaganda
for the benefit OF money kings and
other vested interests, in their cease

to milliards, think that by using this
refined system of government over the
Eastern Asiatic islands, they will be
able to strengthen their rule for years
to come. But neither white terror
nor the disgraceful prison regime VIII
be able to destroy the revolutionary
movement which is already firmly
rooted among the Java peasants and
workers. They are welding the Java
proletarians together into firm whole
which by its revolutionary courage,
sacrifice and determination promises
to conquer the leadership Of the ma
tional revolutionary movement.

and the Dutch Indians and break the

Work Day and Night, Earn Nothing.
At the time and place mentioned
above, Is men reported on their own
responsibility, and "a went to work
at the California Studio, Sunset and
Cover streets, Hollywood. They were
kept busy all day and all night. All
told, IS men and Is women took part
in this picture. About half Of this
number received checks, the rest spent
about three days trying to get them.
In addition to time lost, number of
extras spent nearly as much money
collecting their pay as the wage
amounted to. From 40 to 80 cents
carfares plus 25 cents rakeoff to the
employment shark were paid by all.
Eyes Injured by Artificial Light.
The eyes of the majority were in.

spent $1.75 in hard earned cash out
of his own pocket before it pleased
the California Studio to pay his huge
salary Of SO, minus SO expenses,
which is nothing. according to the
writer's arithmetic.
No Money in Bank.
When the workers appeared at the
Commercial National Bank, 9th and
Main streets, to cash their checks,
made out to cash, they found that the
studio, named after a golden" COM
monwealth, had no money there. So
all that glitters in sparkling brilliancy
and splendor is not gold either in
Movieland, Hollywood, or in the Gold
en- State" California.
