Leneta Lane to Be
With National
Players

An announcement that will be Of
much interest to National Theater
Players fandon reaches this office
that Miss Leneta Lane, leading wO-
man or the Players for their first
two seasons, viii, after years alb
serlce, return to washington this
summer. Miss Lane last week
signed q contract with Manager
Cochran and will open Easter Mon
day, April 8.
Under Mr.. Brooke's direction,
Miss Lane developed 50 rapidly
during her first engagement here
that Mr.. Brooke assigned her TO
the lead in ssHowdy. King." which
he staged for Anne Nichols last
year and in which play another
former National Theater Players
favorite, Minor watson, was fea-
tured.
AT the close Of the run Of
'Howdy, King, she decided that
stock was the greatest school for
an ambitious young actress, and
she forthwith signed with Henry
Duffy'n San francisco company,
where for year she has charmed
the theatergoers Of the West Coast
city.

II was when she was making
4 scene for ''The Branded
Woman The film was to be
symbolical of the degradation OF
the human soul. They had made
q horrible, shiny pool, covered
with scum, and had put into It
frogs and snakes and hideous
crawling things. There were to
be people standing i'm this slime,
stretching up their arms as Il to
pull her down into it. She her
self was to be above the pool,
standing on small platform
which would be concealed by the
people with approaching arms.
When the actors saw the Shiny,
awful pool they refused to go
into 1t. They had not anticipated
anything 50 realistic. But to
Norma the unforgivable sin is to
siairk any part Of your job. And
when these people refused to do
the thing they had been engaged
to do, and were being paid to do,
and which was essential to the
picture, it was inconceivable to
her.
She was wearing a marvellous
costume by Lucille, which had
cost $500. She looked just as
she was intended to look-the
exact antithesis OF that filthy
pool. But when the crowd OF
minor actors and extras" indig-
nantly refused to step into it,
and persuasion and argument
failed to move them, Norma

Variety In Sets

It was necessary to reconstruct
two radically different styles of
architecture for the sets in First
Nationals "The Private Life Of
Helen of Troy" which Ii now
showing at the Metropolitan
Theater.
As the picture takes place in
Sparta and Troy, the settings were
contrasted to show the severity
and plainness for which the Spar
tans are noted, and the lavishness
of the Trojan style.

STOVE MOUNTERS'
UNION
Again Calls Attention To
Strike at Estate Stove
Company

That the strike of the stove mount
ers at the Estate Stove Company,
which has now been on for many
months, is being kept alive is made
manifest in letter just mailed to all
central bodies, all organized labor
and friends, and with request to all
labor papers throughout the country
to publish same. Following is the
letter:
Hamilton, Ohio, July, 1928.
To Central Bodies, All Organized La
Dor and Friends:
Well, here we are again calling
your attention to the strike Of the
Stove Mounters' Union at the Estate
Stove Company of Hamilton, Ohio,
who make the Estate stoves, ranges,
furnaces and the parlor heater known
as the Estate Heatrola."
Possibly you have heard of our
trouble before and also taken action
in the matter, but we know that 1t
pays to advertise, so for this reason
we are writing to remind you that
the Estate Company is still unfair.
Many central bodies have advised
us that they have persuaded stove
dealers to discontinue the sale OF
Estate goods until this trouble is set
tied, and we are surely glad to re-
ceive such reports. However, it is
advisable to check up on these deal
ers from time to time to see that
they are keeping their promises, sc
for this reason we are requesting that
a committee be appointed to again
visit the stove dealers in your city
and inform them that the product OF
the Estate Stove Company is still
unfair.
If every union man does his bit
we will win. Our position is endorsed
by the Trades and Labor Council Of
Hamilton, Ohio; the Stove Mounters
International Union, the metal trades
department of the A. F. of L., and by
the last convention of the American
Federation of Labor.
Thanking you for any assistance
you may render, we remain,
Yours fraternally,

lieu of regular trade unions is a men
ace to the interest of justice. Scores
of union busting coal operators have
attempted this form of indirect die
tatorship, but they have got very far.
The fraud is too plain on it's face.
Criticism of the wages of miners
an average of $3.50 days a fav-
orite indoor sport with those who
know the least about the wage situa-
ton in the coal industry. A writer in
Chicago newspaper recently said on
the subject, as an observer from the
sidelines:
"Do the critics ever stop to think
what $3.50 a day means? 1t is only
forty-fve dollars week.
Common labor or no common la
Dor, that ought to be the minimum
wage of a man supporting a family
1t must be more than fifteen years
since Henry Ford announced policy
of paying five dollars day as min
imum wage. With the higher cost OF
living, $3.50 day is justified now.
''The miners deserve congratula
tions for their spunk in sticking out
for the right of collective bargaining
The drive to smash their union is part
of the general anti-union movement
in the country. The railway unions
would be fools if they did not prepare
now to protect themselves against
such a drive"
Collective bargaining ando squar,
deal go together and the effort tt
smash the unions is directed agains

RETIREMENT LAW
HELD AUTOMATIC

Washington.-Th civil service COM
mission has ruled that there will be
no deviation of the retirement law,
which calls for automatic separation
of employees after August 80, 1880.
The law permits for continuance in
the service beyond retirement age by
periods not exceeding two years, and
has the following limitation upon con-
tinuances:
provided, however, that after Au-
gust 80, 1880, no employe shall be
continued in the civil service of the
United States beyond the age of re-
tirement for more than four years.
The commission says it was the
clear intention of congress to require
the separation at the close of August
so, 1890, of all employees who on that
date will be eligible for annuity and
wlo will be four years or more be-
you'd the retirement age.
