Whether Pola, who in 1918 made the film Passion" which resulted in her being brought to Hollywood, is conscious of the active compe- tition she has in the matter of glamor nowadays she does not re- veal.
 "Oh, yes" quoth Pola, who does not lose her accent, T was here first, before any of them. Perhaps it is possible they have profited by the example of my own unfortu- nate experiences in Hollywood-in the matter of stories.
 T am convinced that it is the all-important thing, the story. The star may be great artist-she must be the great artist or she would not be the star-but alone she cannot make the success of the picture"

POLA NECRII IS

Returns Still Hating Cats but Not Perfume
 Offers Rejected
By RoBBIN CooNs

HOLLYWOOD, Cal, Oct. 19.- Pola Negri, the foreign star who paved the way to Hollywood for all foreign stars, is back in Holly wood very much swayed by the Garbo-D -Dietrich-Ste trio.

in her suite there were no cats, but the air was heavy with scent, forewarning that the raven-haired lady soon to make her entrance (Pola always makes an entrance. even if the interviewer is late) would not have abandoned the pre- negatives of the foreign star con- cerning glamor.
 But the scented Negri, today ebullient with plans, was more con- cerned with finding Chopin for her George Sand-one of the screen possibilities she is considering. Warner Bros. will make "Nocturne, , and Pola is reading the script. But she could think of no worthy Cho- pin-and she wass certain ,al- though she would like the role of Sand
 But it may be" she speculated, it is not the season for biography. ?
 Francis Lederer as Chopin, per- haps? Yes, Pola had thought of him-but two accents in one pie ture, that would not do!
 Meanwhile Pola is to do a Rus sian heroine for United Artists next spring, and there is a concert tour of South America to be made, and Ernst Lubitsch, her director in Passion is interested in directing her again.
 Rejected Several Offers
 Negri's last Hollywood appear ance was in "A Woman Com mands" nearly three years ago. She was personal success, es- pecially with her singing of Para disc" but the film was not popular as whole. Since then, she has appeared on stage and screen abroad, and has rejected Holly wood offers to play in such pie lures as Freaks the sensational film about the sideshows, and Supernatural the one about seers and seances.
 She would consider none of them-not Negri, who wants a story badly enough to declare: "If I never make another picture, I would rather that it be so than that I should play in a picture with a poor story!"

Railroad Company Unions
Smashed.

The Emergency Railroad Transportation Act,
passed by the Special Session of the Seventy
third Congress, in 1888, contained a provision
which made it unlawful for railroad companies
to use railroad funds to maintain "~so-called COM
pany unions"
Despite this positive. mandate, railroad Of
ficials in many instances continued to support
these economic monstrosities. But this policy,
so openly against the rights of railroad en-
ployes, appears to be definitely smashed by the
Crosser Bill amending the Railway Labor Act,
passed by the 1884 session of Congress just be-
fore it adjourned.
In their zeal to nullify the intent of the Spec
ial Session of Congress to ban the company I'M
ion, railroad officials and their high-salaried at
torneys resorted to sophistical nomenclature to
disguise the real purpose of these fake labor or
CARNATIONS. They were labeled "~employe re-
presentation" plans, employees mutual benefit"
societies, and given numerous other smoke
screen names in the attempt to evade the mean
ing of the statute.
The Crosser Act puts an end to this chicanery
by clearly defining just what is meant by the
term company union, and then prescribing it.
Here is the definition:
"The term company union means any
group or association of employees formed for
the purpose of collective bargaining, wheth-
err or not same shall be formally organized,
which was so formed at the suggestion, with
the aid, or under the influence of any carrier,
or its or their officers or agents, and or
whose constitution, bylaws or actions are
under any control or influence of any car
rier, or its or their officers or agents"
This definition of a company union appears to
me so explicit that the legal sophists employed
by the railroad executives, even though they be
endowed with the combined skill of their ancient
counterparts, Protagoras of Abdera and Hippias
of Elias, will be unable to weaken it with their
adroit and specious reasoning.
After giving this clear definition, the Crosser
Act declares that it shall be unlawful for rail-
road companies to use railroad funds Tin main
tanning company unions" prohibits them from
requiring persons seeking employment ito sign
any contract or agreement promising to join or
not to join a company union" and imposes a fine
of not less than $1,000 nor more than $4,000, or
imprisonment for not more than six months or
both fine and Imprisonment for any carrier, its
officers or agents" " found guilty Of violating the
provision.
Evidently the Crosser Railroad Labor Act of
1884 sentences and executes beyond resuscita-
ton the company union in the railroad industry.
1t is regrettable that Congress did not enact the
original Wagner Labor Disputes Bill, and thus
smash the company union monstrosity in all in
dustries.

Company Unions
Score Zero In the
Winning Benefits

DETROIT.-(FP)-The first six
months of operation of the company
dominated "employe representation
plans in the automobile industry
shows a score Of zero for any real
benefit gained by the workers.
While there have been wage in
creases and hours adjustments all
along the line, these have been won by
the militancy of workers in bona
fide unions, such as the federal locals
Of the American Federation of Labor,
the Mechanics Educational Society OF
America, a large independent union, and
the Auto Workers Union, affiliated
with the Trade Union Unity League.
Even official reports of the company
unions fail to claim credit for these
real adjustments, but admit that they
functioned to carry minor complaints
only.
Judging from an examination of the
6-month report Of the Buick, Cadillac
and AC Spark Plug company unions
wages and hours don't even seem to
concern the workers. The vast ma
jority of complaints are concerned
with ventilation in individual depart
ments, more locker space and inn
proved Mushroom facilities.
A request in one plant to cut The
lunch hour to N-hour caused a guffaw
from workers who know that factory
as n Of the worst in the area from
the speedup angle. No worker, they
declare, would seriously ask for a cu'
in his rest hour.
incidentally, not all these requests
were granted. 1t remains to the kline
graces Of the management to consider
the unions" requests.
The Representatives" are usually
small-time politicians in the control o.
the companies; the foremen pass the
word down the line for whom to vote
and under many plans no one who can
not get company approval can be If
the race.

Strike Right Affirmed.

The undercover propaganda seeking to curb by
statute law the right of working men and wo-
men to refuse to sell the use of their labor
power to profit grabbing employers whenever
the workers regard such action as necessary to
promote their general economic welfare re-
ceived two setbacks in labor laws enacted at
the close of the 1884 session of the Seventy
third Congress.
Limiting this inherent right is frequently
sought by employers who petition judges to is
sue injunctions restraining workers from strik-
ing and vigorously conducting strikes.
The first blow at the anti-strike scheme is
found in the Crosser Amendment to the Rail
way Labor Law. After setting up machinery
to guarantee the right Of railroad employees to
organize in bona fide unions without Interior
ence from employers and outlining the enforce
ment procedure, the amendment says:
provided, That nothing in this Act shall
be construed to require an individual EN-
ploye to render labor or service without his
consent, nor shall anything in this Act be
construed to make the quitting of his labor
by an individual employee an illegal act; nor
shall any court issue any process to compel
the performance by an individual employee
of such labor or service without his con-
sent"
By this amendment, and without mincing
words, the Congress of the United States plainly
and positively informs judges of high and low
degree that they are debarred by Federal law
from issuing injunctions or other court orders
which either directly or indirectly limit the
right of railroad employees to strike.
The second curb on those employer d%ictators,
who would like to see American workers chained
by law to their tasks without the right to with
hold their labor power whenever they see tit to
do so, is contained in the La Toilette Amend
ment to the new Labor Disputes Act, which
reads:
Nothing in this resolution shall prevent
or impede or diminish in any way the right
of employees to strike or engage in other
concerted activities"
The right to strike is the right of working men
and women to refuse to sell the use of their
labor power their power to create wealth and
perform service - to those who own and con-
troll industry, who buy it for the sole purpose of
employing it to produce profits for the exclusive
benefit of coupon clippers, dividend receivers
Montana labor news., 1934-07-05

and rent grabbers. To limit this right in any
way is to deprive the workers of their major
final weapon of defense and offense in preserv-
ing their economic liberties.
Congress did we'll in reaffirming the right of
labor to refuse to work, to strike, whenever in
labor's belief the exercise of that right is abso-
lutely necessary to protect and enlarge the work
ers' economic liberties.
