reference to the Trinity when speaking
Of the Supreme Being and to Jesus
Christ in required prayers, and which
substitute redemption through moral
effort for Christianity, 1t was explained
by Prof Theodore Graehner of Con-
corcia Seminary st. Louis.
Declaring that the lodge system was
deistic, Prof Graebner said:
ut stands to reason that deistic
form of worship and a Unitarian form
of worship are mutually exclusive. The
God worshiped by the lodge on Thurs
day night it not the God and Father of
our Lord Jesus Christ worshiped by
Christians on Sunday morning.
We are conscious that not all mem
bers of secret societies are aware OF
those inconsistencies. There are good
and sincere Christians in every secret
order, but this does not permit us to
lose sight of the fact that the Pigment
of reason which the lodge adores as the
Supreme Being is not the God which
has revealed Himself as Father, Son
and Holy Ghost"

FILM STARS CLASH
IN EQUITY BATTLE
Stormy Session Adiourns
Without Taking Action
in TaIkie Fight.
By the Associated Press.


HOLLYWOOD, Calf, June 26.--A
tIinultuous meeting of prominent screen
actors and actresses, members Of the
Actors Equity Association, adjourned
early today without taking action on
the recent move by the association call
ing for establishment Of Equity shop
In the talking motion picture industry.
The meeting, called by four actors
representing the Actors Equity Associ-
alton of California, was brought to a
close after stormy session In which
unlimited members of the Equity body
arose and challenged the action Of the
group in calling session.
NageI Explains Session.
Conrad Nagel, who acted as chairman
at the meeting, said 1t had not been
called as protest against equity. "How-
ever. many of us felt that the way the
situation is being handled by President
Frank Gilmore Is not as it should b."
he declared.
After the adjournment, SO members
of the association of California signed
a resolution in which they stated they
believe that they have been deprived
of representation during the present
crisis. which finally affects their inter-
eSts''
The resolution requested President
Gilmore to "call closed session of
only paid-up members in California to
consider the present situation and vote
on whether or not they viii support the
present policies of the New York Coun-
Gil and the president, and also elect an
executive committee to work with Presi-
dent Gilmore during this emergency,
thereby giving the motion picture play
er a definite voice in things concern
ing his welfare
All Speakers Are Heckled.
The unlimited group, which argued
IN support of the associations stand in
demanding Equity shop in talking mo-
ton picture production was led by
Clark Silvernail, New York director, and
Frank Sullivan, actor.
Speakers on both sides we're shouted
down and heckled by the opposition.
When it appeared that there was no
chance of reaching an agreement,
Chairman Nagel asked for an adjourn
rnent.
The recent action of Equity In an at
tempt to extend its unionization OF
actors into the field of talking motion
pictures, met with a reply from the
Motion Picture Producers Association
that they intended standing by their
old contracts.
Since then, prominent screen actors
and actresses, members Of Equity, have
announced their opposition to the de-
anands of the association, but the meet
ing called last night was the first move
toward settlement Of the question.
