"TALK|E" CONTRACT
FIGHT TO Be BITTER
Actors Equity Head Says
Producers Terms Have
Been Refused by Two.

BY the Associated Press.
LOS ANGELES, Calf, June T.
Frank Gilmore, president of the Actors
Equity Association, today predicted a
fight to the finish" with the Associa-
ton of Motion Picture Producers over
contracts for talking pictures.
Two members of the Equity Associa-
ton. Gilmore announced, have refused
to sign motion picture contracts under
the producers terms. Gilmore declined
to reveal the actors names, but added
that Equity did not plan a walkout IN
the controversy.
Equity in asking for new working
agreements with the picture producers
demanded that the producers hire only
actors in good standing in the organ1za-
ton. and sought to establish 43-hour
week, with double time for overtime.
Decline to be Restricted.
Maintaining the demand was an
attempt to force a virtual CLOSED shop
on the industry. the producers stated
for productions only under the fair
and just form of contract which was
prepared by representatives of both
producers and motion picture actors" '
They declined fatty to be restricted by
Equity's demand.
An impasse was reached with the
producers decision. The Academy of
Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. OF
which Douglas Fairbanks is head, an
nounced it would take no part In the
controversy.
Origin Of Contract Form.
The Academy, of which both Equity
and the Producers Association are
member organizations. drew up the
contract form which had been in use
for 18 months.
Gilmore said Equity's campaign for
recognition in motion pictures would be
one of constantly applied pressure.
I'VE will win eventually Gilmore
said, "for producers will find it impos-
sible to secure casts"
Contemplating a drawn-out siege,
Gilmore said benefit fund for unem-
ployed actors would be raised by Equity.
He said donations would be asked and
benefit shows given if necessary.

1t is highly important that the home
builder ascertain that the section in
which he is contemplating construc.
tion will continue as home section
so that he may not only put his prop
erty to the highest and best as resi-
Dental site, but count on it persisting
in this use for many years to come.
He should. of course, inquire whether
the district is protected by coming
laws or building ordinances that bar
the construction of commercial build
ings, but he should remember that zon-
ing laws can be amended If it can be
shown that commerce or business is
making justifiable demands on a dis
trict.
The home builder, therefore, should
seek competent advice as to the trend
of the land in the sections adjacent
to his proposed home, for although
no one can be magician in these mat
ters, the changing of districts, with
the possible change of coming laws,
can be foretold with reasonable ac-

Get Reliable Contractor

Where contractor accepts a job Of
house building at price that is too
low for him to make a profit on good
work, the tendency is to cheaper or
slight work in such a way that no
loss will be sustained. This is par
ticularly true where there are mad
equate plans and specifications.
Furthermore, there are in the ranks
Of the contracting profession men who
are unskilled, just as there are in
other professions. Their capacity to
do high-grade work is distinctly linz
tied. They deliver the kind of work
manship that they know about--the
type that is condemned by high-class
builders. They charge less because
their costs are less, but what they
deliver is often not worth its price.
