UNION MOVIES
Step Nearer as Hollywood
Labor Wins

BY international Labor News Service.
Los Angeles, Cal-The motion pic
ture studios are now operating on a
union shop basis. The leading film
starts are Equity members and there
fore union, the musicians are union
and all the stage employees, and it
was left for the studio mechanics to
complete the chain. They have done
this and now remain only the camera
men and laboratory stats to get into
line and union movies will be a fact.
The big coup of union labor was ac-
complished by an alliance of studio
mechanics. The hatchets were buried
and carpenters, stage hands, electri-
clans and scenic artists were as one.
They spoke to the movie magnates in
New York through their international
presidents on behalf of $500 mechan-
les here and they got what they were
after.
An intensive organizing campaign
in November brought every compe-
tent worker into the local unions.
Then they placed their demands, the
main point being recognition and
stabilized employment, for joblessness

Some people say that there will come
time when justice will take the place
of charity. Optimists think this fore
cast is sound, but just the same there
are many who hope it never comes be-
cause there are so many who will be
absolutely out of luck without a
chance to be charitable once year.
But why not be charitable toward
the charitable, just this once, any
way? Good luck to 'em. May their
heads rest easy on Christmas eve.
May their stockings be full and may
the candles on their Christmas trees
burn safely and brightly.
The cotton planters are in fix,
the mid-western farmers are about as
badly off and there are spots on the
Industrial map where the light of
prosperity burns none too brightly.
But by and large things are going
fairly well and this Christmas will
be the most profligate ever.
May Andy Volstead weep and may
everybody else be happy on this
twenty-ffth of December. Come on,
Santa Claus! Make it snappy!

N OUISE had not been oblivious to
81 the courteous How do you dos"
and attempts at conversation-at
least those that could be appropriate
ly engaged in from the other side OF
the bars. The conversation assumed
such form as: 1.-TWO fives, q ten
or some ones?" with an accompanying
smile. Today, as she entered the
great, white stone building, she made
resolve. She wrote her check and
approached the desk. The smile and
the same "How do you do?' greeted
Louise. She hesitated, then nerved
herself to meet the occasion and
with quivering smile burst forth
"Did-didn't meet you at the Uni
versity of Chicago? 1t seems to me l

"N-um, well yes, perhaps. Yes, /

Bert, putting down some figures in the
little handbook so vigorously that the

Wreaths hung in the windows and
little sprfgs Of holly ornamented the
center ceiling light. Louise turned
on the circuit Of Christmas tree lights
and sat down to admire the tree and
collect herself. She was q little wor-
ried. What In the world had prompted
her to be so brazen? Never before
had she acted so. To say the least,
her customary timidity had certainly
been put to flight-had deserted her.
She had not long to ponder, for the
doorbell rang.
Bert, the picture of neatness, looked
more than his usual six feet in height
as he stood alongside Of Louise when
he greeted her. For the first few
minutes the evening seemed doomed to
be miserable failure. Finally Louise
could stand it no longer.
"You probably will hate me forever
when tell you this, but l can't keep
up this farce any longer. knew you

"On the contrary, l think this is a
lark. l had presentiment of just
such situation, but I couldn't
imagine why you picked out this eve-
ning-Christmas Eve-for me to come

A queer look shot across Bert's face.

Three days later Louise, all expec-

living room-a small Christmas tree

" Where with our
we tell the truth
about many things, sometimes pro-
foundly, sometimes flippantl-
sometimes rccklessly. ).

This is the season when all good
newspapers send out their merry
young reporters, sometimes faceti-
ously known as leg men, to discover
what kind of a Christmas the other
half is going to have.
And the bewhiskered Santas, will
their red coats, keep the kettle boiling
feel how hot it is-on the street
corners, and the department stores be-
come hectic places where you can get
your feet stepped on for nothing at
all.
It's Merry Christmas. That's what
it is. It's Christmas for the lifer in
San Quentin, for the blithering con-
vict in the death house in Sing Sing,
for the cop on the beat, for the car
penter and the hod carrier, for the
hewers of wood and the drawers of
pay checks all over the land and for
the pirates of Wall street and for
the members of congress and the folks
back home.
Merry Christmas is a great insti-
tuition. 1t is noted for the giving of
presents, some of which don't have to
be exchanged. 1t is noted for pre-
ceding January first, which begins the
period of worry about the income tax.
1t is noted for almost everything ex-
cept it's true significance. Christ
mas, like many other things in mod
ern life, has become pretty much of
a commercialized institution For
many persons Christmas has become
time of year when one goes broke
buying things for other people who
don't want what is bought for them.
And what time it is for the or
ganizers! These pests of modern life
have beautiful time organizing this
and that for Christmas.
Some noble nut has capped the
climax this year by planning to have
everybody sit at radio receivers and
follow leader singing Christmas
carols. Twenty million will do it, the
forecasters say.
Meanwhile the main worries and
trials of life go on about as be-
fore. The "neediest hundred" or the
neediest whatever -number-it it-may-be,
get hand-out for the day, as if one
dinner a year was the sum total of
humanity's obligation to the victims
of misfortune. And then the process
sion wends it's way onward, while the
lame and the halt carry with them
the memories of their annual dinner
and ponder upon the goodness of the
world and the charity of the charit-
able.
The truth is that Christmas offers
to a great many persons an oppor-
tunity for salving Old Man Con-
science, which means, in other words,
paying a debt in deprecated currency,
