In Philadelphia and entered dramatic
school. She made her first stage ap-

this she played in "The Poor Nut"
pigs" "Two Girls Wanted" and the
lead opposite Lynn Overman In "The
Cosby Sex"
1t was really Miss Merkel's work in
support of Helen Hayes in "Coquette"
that attracted; attention to her. Jo-
seph NJ. Schenck, president of United
Artists, saw her in "Coquette," later
watched her in "Salt Water" and tele-
phoned Mr.. Golden to say that he
would like her for a picture. She
made her cinematic bow In the Ann
Rutledge role in D. w. Griffith's "Abra-
ham Lincoln" and she has been In
screen work ever since, which adds
up to little more than three years.
Some of the films she has appeared
In during that time are "Six Cylinder

NEW YORK.-Around 200 mem

ragged over the treacherous and strong
arm methods of the officialdom, GUST
ed business agent Matzolo and made
provisions for a regular election which
will reflect the will of the rank and

Matzolo is openly accused by the
members of stealing the election from
the rank and file member, V. Morvil-
10, when the voting took place last
December. The action of the mem
bership was precipitated by brutal
attack against Morvillo by the gang
ster Matzolo and his son.
The aroused membership, which

over Matzolo's refusal to carry out
the decision for equal division of

The case, which was ably defended
by Attorneys Tauber and Hauptnan
Of the New York Section of the LID.
was a perfect example of how the
mass attendance of workers at a trial
which involves their rights will affect
the decision. The court was packed
with sympathizers who showed their
resentment when Judge Fowler re-
marked about the grievances that
these people think they have" After
this show of feeling Fowler lowered
his voice so that even those in the
front rows found it difficult to hear
him.
The one policeman who took the
stand was evidently only an appren-
tice in the fine art of fabrication and
introduced testimony that even the
judge had to throw out.
The case was dropped. When the
defendants left the room almost the
entire court rose as body and left
with them.
