Producers attributed the trouble
solely to an argument between two un-

lance of Theatrical Stage Employees.

possible, to start the cameras turning

been dark for three weeks because Of

Decision Lacking on Sound Men.
Patrick Casey, producers spokesman,
said dispute between the I. A. T. S. Z.
and the International Brotherhood Of
Electrical Workers had caused all the
trouble, as the American Federation Of
Labor had not established jurisdiction
of either organization over the sound
men. Until some decision on that point
is reached, Casey said, the producers
cannot deal with one or the other union.
The sound men said when they struck
Saturday that they sought a minimum
wage scale, minimum 12-hour day and
6-day week

affect an estimated $1,000 to 10000 per-

a big hand after your partner has made an iriginal bid, undoubtedly l all that he has is an absolute minimum, and therefore you should guide your bidding accordingly. thought the following hand, which was played at Hanover. N. H., in the recent American Whist league tournament, was cleverly bid by North and South. The Bidding.
 South opened the contracting with one heart. West made a nega- tive double. North had big hand and presume the average player would immediately bid. However, in this case, North made a very fine pass.
 Without 8 doubt East is going to respond with a spade bid, which is going to give North an opportunity to make a splendid cue bid. East bid one spade, South bid two hearts and West bid two spades.
 North now knew that there were no losing hearts and his only fear in the hand was that partner held three small clubs and the king, queen and one diamond, in which case a club might be lost.
 North now made a bid of three spades which East passed. South bid four hearts. North then bid five diamonds to show his ace of diamonds and South went to six hearts.
 This was all the information that North needed. With that type of bidding South could not hold three small clubs, therefore North went to seven hearts, which of course, is a lay-down.

 Secretary, American Bridge League
 Too many people today are try ing to play contract bridge with auction bidding.
 The theory in auction was that you opened weak first or second hand because you were bidding against your opponents, but in con- tract you bid for your partner. When you make an original bid you are laying the foundation upon which game or slam is to be built. If your foundation is not strong, the castle that you and your part ner attempt to build on thin air is almost certain to crash.
 We open weak third hand bids for two reasons-first, to try to confuse the opponents, and second to protect partner. Even a fourth
 hand bid may be made if you are
 certain that you have enough strength to prevent the opponents from making game in a major suit l Here is another mistake have seen a lot of players make-part- ner makes an original bid, let us say first or second hand bid, one that shows plenty of strength. and they hold the big hand. They now start bidding that hand blindly. Remember that when you hold
