The 1890 chorus girls must be

UNION ROW ON
WARDROBE
WOMEN
By ANDREW R. KELLEY

Whether or not the D. c. movie
houses playing unit revue shows
must hire a wardrobe mistress
when more than 10 choristers are
employed is a problem now being
threshed out in numerous par
leys.
The local stage hands are CIV
ing their moral support and some
official pressure for the demands
of the wardrobe matrons with
the Central Labor Union being
asked to take a hand in the dis
pute.
The wardrobe women have no
contract with the theaters and
both the Loew and Fox theater
executives claim that the travel
ing shows carry their own ward
robe chief when such services are
necessary. The official wage
scale asked for the wardrobe
women is $55 a week.

Announcement from the treasury department that internal revenue col lections from Connecticut during the first nine months of the present fiscal year increased more than IT per cent over such receipts for the correspond ing period of the previous fiscal year would appear to indicate that the earning capacity of Connecticut is in- ereasing despite the reported indus trial depression.

 In the first nine months of the pre- sent fiscal year as compared with the first nine months of last fiscal year, income tax collections in Connecticut showed an increase of S4,53S, ,026.02, and collections of miscellaneous tax es jumped S7iS,476. or.
 Income tax receipts from the state increased from S29.2l4.3S5.70 in the first nine months of last fiscal year to S33, 2.4l1.72 for the same pe- riod of the current year. and miscel- ianeous tax collections went from Sl- 46S, S,000.42 to S2,1S6,476.49.
 Shows Greater Gain
 Both individual income tax and corporation income tax collections are increasing decidedly in Connecticut this fiscal year as compared with last, the individual collections showing the greatest gain.
