MOVIE SALARY CUT
H|TSF|LM MAKERS
But Comment Is Withheld on
Passing Saving to Thea
ter Patrons.
By the Associated Press.


HOLLYWOOD, Calf. June "a
Sixteen motion picture companies, in
Guiding all major producers, were on
record today as committed to neces-
STATED drastic economy program in
volving immediate 10 to % per cent
reductions in salaries. The slashes
affect presidents, vice presidents, con
tract featured players and other en-
ployes down to $50-a-week workers.
There was no comment as to
whether any of the savings made by
the salary reductions would be passed
on to the patrons of the many the
aters controlled by the concerns par
ticipating in the salary cuts.
The companies are: First National,
Universal, Paramount Famous Play
ers.Lasky. Metro-Goldwyn-May De
Mile, Harold Lloyd Corporation.
United Artists, Fox. Metropolitan Pic
lures, F. B. O., Warner Brothers, Hal
Roach, Mack Sennett, Jack White
Comedies, Christie Comedies and Sam
uel Goldwyn, Inc.
Effect Far-Reaching.
The production cost retrenchment,
which executives of the companies an
nounced after a conference late yes
terday, will have the far-reaching eff
feet of reducing incomes in not only
the production departments at Holly
wood, but in distribution, Eastern eX-
ecutive offices and probably soon to
the movie-company-co exhibit
ton houses.
Around $4,000 executives, salaried
officers, directors and stars will shortly
feel the AK digging into their incomes.
An estimated 10000 more non-contract
lVR1n obi.
tors, camera men, production employees
and distribution managers and EN-
playes will suffer an immediate salary
slash of above 10 per cent. In this
connection it was pointed out that the
movies employ a negligible number or
persons at salaries of less than the
stated minimum of $50 weekly.
May Reach 3OO, 900 Persons.
If all branches of the movie industry
become affected, which observers
pointed out they necessarily must, the
force operating the vast network of
movie-company-ow h b it i n
houses would bring the total OF those
feeling the income circumscription to
a possible 1000. The movie indus |
try, as the result of many recent huge |
mergers of theater chains, now con- |
trolls approximately three-fourths OF |
the country's film outlets.
The weekly pay roll of the Holly
wood studios and all its local industry |
branches totals So 900. 900. The dras- |
tic economy cut will keep a minimum
of $500 900 a week of this in the banks |
instead of pouring it into movie peo-
pies pockets. The cut, figured on an |
average between the maximum and |
minimum % to 10 per cent slashes, |
might raise the weekly saving to |
$3.50 600.
Economically unsound conditions"
the announcement said. that prevail
I'm the motion picture industry today,
resulting in prohibitively high cost of
production, which in a measure is di-
rectly attributable to the artifcially |
high salaries paid in all branches"
was the reason stated as being behind |
the action.

WHEAT PRICES.
GO DOWNWARD
Weakness at Liverpool and
Favorable Weather Here
Have Bearish Effect

Chicago, March 15. -LP)--Wheat
sagged today to the lowest price level
in three weeks, but some aggressive
buying near the end of the day
caused rallies. Some of the late buy.
ing Of wheat was against sales Of
corn. Unexpected weakness of Liv-
erpool wheat quotations together
with ideal weather in this country
were bear factors.
Wheat closed unsettled Is to y
cent net lower; corn unchanged to =,
off; oats Is to !. down, and provf-
siOns varying from 10 cent decline to
Il rise Of two cents.
With Liverpool and Winnipeg to-
day both reporting dearth OF
wheat buyers and with nearly sum-
mer conditions prevailing in domes-
tic crop territory, many traders to-
day leaned to the view that demand
must improve or lower prices were
inevitable. Accompanying the lack
Of support for wheat, talk was cur
rent that difficulty Of getting ship
ment instructions for flour at this
time is quite beyond precedent.
Weakness which showed itself at
times today in corn and oats was
ascribed to sympathetic with wheat
A stcadying influence, however, as to
corn was noted that shipments OF
corn from Chicago have ranged very
close TO those Of last year, and that
st. Louis is sending out high bids
for corn in Chicago territory. with
Omaha and Kansas City prices well
above st. Louis.
