MOVIE OPERATORS

The agreement of the Stage Work
ers Local will expire very shortly,
and new one was presented to thea
trical managers for approval.
A slight advance is asked all
around, the motion picture operators
salary being increased from $3.50 a
week for a seven day week to six
dollars day, or SAP week. A mis-
taken idea is prevalent that these
men are now pulling down $40 per
day.
When the arduous nature of the
work is considered together with
gradual but steady increase in living
expenses, six dollars a day does not
appear to be excessive.
The relations existing between the
theatrical men and Stage Workers
Local has ever been Of the most
pleasant and friendly character, each
side striving to work together in har-
mOny and cooperation and sparing
no efforts to advance their mutual
interests, the Leader sincerely hopes
that no obstacle will be encountered
to interfere with this much to be de-
sired relationship.

Labor Conditions
Good in st. Petersburg

st. Petersburg, Fla.-Leading con
tractors and union heads of st. Pet
ersburg agree that the labor situation
here is very satisfactory and that the
prospects for the winter are as
bright as could be expected.
In the matter of wages, st. Peters
burg compares favorably with other
cities where a quantity of building is
under way, and while it is expected
that some of the trades will request
rate Increases, contractors do not an.
ticipate the development of trouble
from this source.
Movement of skilled labor to st.
Petersburg appears to be well regu-
lated. The number of skilled work
men employed at this time in st. Pet
ersburg is about twice the number
occupied during July last year. Ac-
cording to records at the Central
Labor union there are in st. Peters
burg about 1900 carpenters, 300
painters, rs electricians, 400 brick
layers, IT'S plasterers, 80 structural
iron workers and rs sheet metal
workers. The number of open shop
workers employed in the city could
not be learned.
Masons, bricklayers and plasterers
are making $12 day; electricians,
$40; fathers, $40; plumbers, SIP; car
penters, So; structural iron workers,
$40; street metal workers, $10

BOILER MAKERS UNION

The Boiler Makers, Helpers and Ap-
prentices of Buckeye Lodge No. ~
held their regular meeting Thurs
CAV evening of last week at Trades
Assembly hall. The attendance was
rot what the officers had expected.
as due notice had been given all mem
bers that some very important ques-
tions had to be acted upon at TINS
meeting and full attendance was de-
sired. But it seems that to some
members everything else comes be-
fore a union meeting and these non
attenders are the ones that cause all
the dissatisfaction when things don't
suit them. Don't kick at the shop.
Get up to the Lodge room, help the
Officers out, don't ride them. Help
them solve the problems that continu-
ally confront them and don't critl-
cize them when they do their best.
They are trying to run the Local as
capably as they can, but they need
your assistance, not your criticism
and your backing and your approval
on all important matters. Ii there
are grievances and dissatisfaction,
these things can be adjusted at your
meetings, but if you don't take an ac'
tive interest in the Local there must
be dissatisfaction from members that
don't attend. Let's pull together now,
attend the meetings and help your Of
ficers solve all important questions.
Then, and not till then, will this dis
gusting fault finding cease. Then we
will have harmony and real union
spirit.
The following item | have taken
from the Boiler Makers Journal for
August, and | am having it reprinted
for all members who did not see it:

The moving picture being produced
for the organization and publicity
campaign of the American Federation
Of Labor and the Union Label Trades
Department will be the most elabor-
ate of its kind ever conceived
At a meeting of the Executive
Board of the Union Label Trades De-
partment, which was attended by
President Green, the greatest en-
thusiasm was shown after the draft
Of the scenario was read. Nothing
of the kind has ever been attempted
by any labor movement in the world
1t will be surprise to even its most
ardent well-wishers.
The high spots in the evolution of
labor from slavery thousands of years
ago to the present time will be de-
picted in true colors that it cannot
he'll to cause a startling sensation to
the people of the country.
The story of the picture will be
story of humanity and its progress
through trade union effort; how the
organized wage earners have prog
ressed their sacrifices; their strug-
giles and their victories. 1t will show
the difference between the so-called
open and closed shops; the difference
in the efficiency in such establish
ments and the difference in the char
acter Of the employees.
The union label will be shown as a
symbol of the product made in sani-
tary workshops by clean, outstanding
manhood and womanhood. 1t will
show the difference between autoc-
racy in industry and democracy in
| industry; how unorganized employees
are coerced into withdrawing their
requests for the remedying of griev-
ances as compared to the way in
which organized employees deal with
their employers through chosen rep
resentatives.
The benefits of the eight hour day
will be emphasized, as we'll as the
struggle to take the children out of
the work shop and factory and place
them in the schools and play grounds.
One important change in the pro-
gram was decided upon. The paid Of
ficials of the state federations of la
Dor and city central bodies will be re-
quested to act as lecturers in the va
rious cities where the picture will be
shown. Their familiarity with local
conditions will add to the effective
ness of the campaign.
The routes to be followed will be
made up according to requests of the
various labor officials in the differ
ent states. 1t is, therefore, necessary
for them to communicate with Mr..
John j. Manning, Secretary of the
Union Label Trades Department to
make arrangements for the exhibi-
tion at as early date as possible.
The contract with the company that
will make the picture has been sign
ed and the work upon it will begin
Immediately in Chicago. A full de-
scription of all the scenes will not be
published until after the picture is
completed. Every scene will be
shown to the labor officials as it is
made and, if necessary, changes will
be suggested to make it more enlight-
enirg and convincing.
The object is to have the picture
true to life in every respect. Where
necessary changes should be made the
scenes will be reproduced. The pic
ture will be made as perfect as poss-
| ible.

and the children returned to their
