BRIDGE BOND PLEA
WILL Be RENEWED
AIexandrian Will Ask U. S. to
Link Memorial Span With
Lee Route.

The Government again will be asked
to build miles of road connecting
Memorial Bridge, over the Potomac
River, with Lee Highway, now being
constructed to the southern limits of
Fort Myer by the State of Virginia.
Representative Smith of Alexandria.
Va, said yesterday he had prepared
for introduction on the first day of
Congress a bill providing appropriation
of $8l2,087 for the project.
Would Link Highways.
The road would provide a southwest
ern passage for traffic over Memorial
Bridge, which now is approached only
by Mount Vernon Boulevard, as we'll as
linking Lee Highway to Harrisonburg,
Staunton, Roanoke and Bristol, Va,
with the National Capital.
The bill, Smith said, will embodv fea-
lures of legislation introduced by Rep
resentative r. Walton Moore, Smiths
predecessor. Moore's bills did not reach
a vote in the House because of DELAYS
in committee. The War Department
protested appropriation of a section OF
Fort Myer for the 200-foot right of
way and the objection also was raised
in committee that the road was located
in its entirety in Virginia and should
therefore be constructed by the State.
Compensation Planned.
The new bill would compensate Fort
Myer for its loss of land by purchase
CT adjacent property for military use
1t also would provide for purchase OF
other lands for the right of way and
the acceptance by the Government OF
donation of land fer the road.
The Arlington Memorial Bridge Com
mission, which has approved the tenta-
tive route of the roadway, would be
charged with carrying out provisions OF
the project.

FACES
BIC WAGE SLASHES
Cuts Up to so Per Cent
Feared as Producers
Confer.
Nv the Associated Press.

| BY the Associated Press.
HOLLYWOOD, Calf, November %.
The highly paid players, writers and
directors Of moviedom today are faced
with a situation unparalleled in Aim
history.
An effort which, II not concerted
is unanimous is being made by the
producers to cut all salaries as much
as 20 to so per cent.
The total annual salaries paid actors
actresses, scenarists and directors is
roughly estimated to be $28,00o,0o0.
Represents $7,OOO,OOO.
II this were cut only one-fourth, the
saving to the movie makers would be
| $1,000, 900.
It is generally believed in Hollywood
that the all-important question OF
salaries and how to automatically re-
duce them, was discussed Friday at
meeting attended by most OF the
members OF the Motion Picture Pro-
ducers and Distributors Association
And 1t is further believed that at an
other star chamber session scheduled
| for early next week, the producers
will agree to write letters to their big
money employees requesting their Co
| operation"
Profits from motion pictures have
been so enormous for so many years
that Hollywood didn't have to think
about costs.
Earnings Greatly Reduced.
But with picture crosses off as much
as IS per cent, a serious predicament
has arisen. The investment in pic
lures is as great as ever, but the re-
turns are much less than during nor
NAL times-when most Of the present
Hollywood contracts we're drawn.
Hence the percentage Of profit Is
so small that the producers are forced
to take drastic measures.
Important players-"the in-between'
whose names mean little or nothing
at the box office-will be most seri-
ously affected by this newest money
saving move. They will be warned If
they refuse to accept cuts. that the
ak is very liable to drop when option
time comes around. 1t is felt in film
land that every star, regardless Of his
earning power, will be asked to aid
in the readjustment.
Incomes Little Known.
Some of the players are paid by the
picture, others by the week, and ac-
curate figures on their incomes are diff
ficult to obtain. John Gilbert was re-
ported to have received $1000,000 for
four-picture contract and Ruth Chat
terton will get like amount over a
two-year period. Other per picture
workers include: Richard Barthelmess
S187 900: George Bancroft, 100000;
Walter Huston, $4,000; Lupe 'Valez
$4,000, and Barbara Stanwyck and
Joan Bennett SOS, 900 each.
While Constance Bennett was re-
ported to have received 100000 a week
this was during the production Of two
films under a special contract. Will
Rogers gets $4,000 week while work

year.

Another feature of the Earle pro-

TAMPA, Fla, November ga strike

cigar factories here yesterday spread
to most of the bakeries and barber
shops in the Latin section today. Eff
forts were being made by strike SYM
pathizers to have all business houses in
their part of the city closed over the
week end.
The tobacco workers walked out in
protest against the arrest of group of
Communist sympathizers two weeks ago
and the manufacturers attempt to in
terfere with the custom of having
books read aloud to workers at their
benches in factories.
There was no disorder. The move
ment was regarded more as holiday
than as strike.
The strike was called for ~ hours,
but there was some question about
when work would be resumed. Cigar
makers generally said they would re-
turn Monday.
Manufacturers said, however, their
factories would remain closed pending
the settlement of a previous strike
called in three factories several days ago.
