MOVIE ACTORS
WIN SKIRMISH
in WAGE SLASH

HOLLYWOOD, Cal, June 80 A9-
The working people of the films today
won the first big skirmish with the
class wage war. The order for a
general 10 per cent slice in salaries
will be deferred until August l pend
ing proving out of the workers plans
to reduce production costs in other
ways than by cutting salaries.
In a communication to the Motion
Picture Academy of Arts and Sciences,
which represents the actors, directors,
technicians, producers and writer's, IL
of the largest producers accepted the
proposal that the workers themselves
attempt to cut production costs.
The companies signing the pro-
ducerS' reply today were Joseph M
Schenck productions, Cecil B. DeNfille
Pictures corporation, William Fox
studios, Samuel Goldwyn Inc, Metro
GoldWyn- Mayer studios, Mack Sennett
Comedy corporation Jack White
Comedy corporation, F. B. o. studios
Universal pictures and First National
Pictures corporation.
Warner Brothers and Paramount
Fanlous-Lasky both indicated that
they would make separate replies to
the academy. Warner Brothers yes
terday announced it had decided not
to put the wage cut into effect at
its studio but a statement made
public by Jesse L. Lasky, president
of the Association of Motion Picture
Producers and first vice president
s1f Dor hi 1itze
ton was not entirely in sympathy
with any plan to forego the salary
reductions.
The statement did not say directly
whether Paramount would or would
not join in the action of the other
producers
The at least temporary victory of
the studio employees in the wage
controversy will not change the plans
of the Actors Equity association for
the organization of the actors in the
motion picture industry, according to
Conrad Nagel, chairman of the film
section of equity and also member
Of the board of directors of the
academy Of motion picture arts and
science.
f1e QeclareQ LnaG an intensive drive
since the announcement of the pro-
posed wage cut had increased the
equity membership in the film in
dustry from negligible number tc
more than 800, including virtually
all of the prominent players.
Any precedent on the part of the
producers to abrogate the actors con-
tracts whether by persuasion or by
z coercive means would be SO dangerous
that the Actors Equity would never
allow it to be established" said Nagel
''The. actors realize, of course, that
they are indebted to the industry and
they are willing to cooperate to every
reasonable extent to assure efficiency
in making motion pictures. But they
expect contracts, which are docu-
ments entered into in good faith, tc
be scrupulously observed"

Slack was elected two weeks ago
to succeed Mayor Pro Tenn. Claude

leaders that Slack was legally
elected in his opinion, it was under

and asked his opinion. Boynton J..

It was reported Council President
Negley and Austin H. Todd, who
did not vote for Slack, were asked
to join the faction desiring to
rescind the councils action.
Dorsett and Otis Bartholomew,
Republican majority faction mem
bers, voted with Edward B. Raub,
Robert E. SpringSteen and Willard
w. Ferguson to elect Slack.
Adjournment Approved
It was said Bartholomew refused
to vote with Dorsett, Moore and
Albertson.
Roberts told the councilmen they
could reconsider the action provid-
ing written notice was filed by a
member who voted with the ma
jority before the meeting. This
was not done, he said. There was
doubt as to whether the special
meeting was adjourned.
The minutes of the council show
the special meeting was adjourned
by a minority, permissible under
council rules. Even though the
special session at which Slack was
elected was not adjourned officially
a meeting cannot go on indefinitely
and in two weeks automatically
adjourn itself, Roberts was said to
have advised the councilmen.
The councilmen vigorously denied
they had considered such plan.
