 Tt is useless, of course, 10 con- plain about competition in a busi- ness like ours, and we do not com plain about competition. but we do resent the intrusion of amateur ath- letes who do minor screen aero battles just as a sideline and at re- duced pay" said one veteran.
 As an example of tho results of the amateur invasion, he said, "or- dinary water work, which consists of swimming and diving, for years brought a salary of S25 day. Now studios are offering $1o q day for the same work"
