We talked about the star system.
Adolph Zukor knows better than any
other that the public makes stars,
not the publicity departments. At
the present time he has rs screen
players at work on the lot. 1t is an
unusually large number, but he ex-
plains it thusly:
I'VE are building and the public
must be given choice. We have an
open door to opportunity for talent
in all branches of studio activity. We
present the players we feel have
promise and We let the public do the
rest. We never drive them down the
public throat. We took Gary Cooper,
for instance, and put him in a rea-
sonably good part in a picture.
Lets see more of Cooper came
back the fan mail and the exhibitors
requests. We gave him better part.
More requests. with occasionally an
exhibitor asking that we give Cooper
a picture of his own. We did So

the public a chance to choose.

LABOR OPPOSES
Wire Merger Resulting In
Loss of Jobs

Washington, D. c. (ILNS)-Oppo-
sition to any merger that would in
crease unemployment was expressed
in strong terms by representative of
organized labor at hearing before
the federal communications commits
sion on the proposed merger of the
two big telegraph companies.
At the end of the hearing, men,
bers Of the commission indicated that
legislation providing for consolida-
tion will probably be presented to
congress. Some assurance that efforts
will be made to protect the interests
of labor was given by Commissioner
Payne, who said:
whatever is done, you can be GER
tain that labor will be protected to the
best Of our ability"
Frank B. Powers, president of the
Commercial Telegraphers' Union of
North America, told the commission

Postal would result in $1,000 jobs be-
ing eliminated in the telegraph field.
eff merger of telegraph compan-
les is permitted" Powers said, "A
monopoly would be inevitable, for
there are but two major telegraph
companies"
President Powers blamed the pres
ent situation of the wire companies
upon the managements. The chief
cause, he said, was an overdose OF
machinery and automatic telegraphy,
which began in 1918 and has cost the
Jobs of thousands Of capable opera
tors.
"Let us have a trial of fair compe-
tition. rather than elimination Of all
competition" Powers urged.
He said that nearly $1OO,OOO,OOC
of bonds were foated between 1917
and 1880 to mechanize the industry
and added that official figures from
the interstate commerce commission
would show that the cost of carrying
kilograms had increased as result
of ''mechapization."

Washington, D. c. (ILNS)-Modi-

Federation of Labor, President Har-
.vey c. Fremming, of the international
Association of Oil Field, Gas Well
and Refinery Workers and other labor
representatives at hearing before
the Petroleum Labor Policy Board.
/ "The shorter week must be inaug-
eurated," Green said, 'to give re-em-
ployment to thousands of jobless oil
workers. The question is challenge
to the good faith and integrity of the

were violating labor provisions of the
code were made by representatives of
the union, who cited instances Of code

NEWSPAPER GUILD
Quits Hearing on Code
Amendments

Washington, D. c. (ILNS)-In pro-
test against reopening of the case of
Dean S. Jennings, former San Fran
cisco Call-Bulletin editorial employe,
by the National Labor Relations
Board, representatives of the Amer
lean Newspaper Guild withdrew from
an NRA hearing on amendments to
the newspaper code, fixing maximum
working hours and minimum wages
for editorial workers.
The labor board found that the
Call-Brlletin had violated Section IA
of the recovery act, and ordered the
paper to reinstate Jennings, who
charged he was forced to resign his
job because Of opposition to his activ-
tiles in the Newspaper Guild.
Guild representatives at the code
hearing charged that NRA had been
terrified" by the newspaper pub
fishers.
Haywood Broun, guild president,
obtained recognition when NRA divi-
sion administrator, Jack TAFT, open
ed the hearing Broun withdrew his
own appearance and that of all other
guild representatives.
"We had come," he said, prepared
to show you that on the average an
American newspaper man must work
for 20 years before he achieves sal
ary of $40 a week, and the fictitious
quality of the publishers proposals
which. when translated into dollars,
mean no contribution to re-employ-
ment or additional purchasing power"
The amendments before the hearing
would establishe under the code
work week ranging from 90 hours
in cities over $4,000 population to 48
hours in cities and towns of fewer
| than $4,000. Additional huors may be
| worked in emergencies if compensat-
ed by off time. The wage amendment
specifies minimums ranging from $25
week for news workers in anw city
over 100000 population to s12 per
week in any city or town of less than
$4,000.
owe are withdrawing now," Broun
continued, because Of the extraordi-
nary action of NRA in forcing re-
opening of the Jennings case. On
Monday the guild had won.
con Tuesday we learned the case
has been reopened. At whose re-
quest? Not at the request of the
| guild or Mr.. Hearst, the two inter
ested parties, but at the request of the
acting general counsel for the NRA." !"
"Whep and II NRA purges ITSELF"

occasion and several former ones,

Old Age Pensions in Canada

Ottawa-Seven years ago, in 1927,
the Dominion government of Canada
adopted an old age pensions plan.
Since that time, eight of the eleven
provinces have put the plan into ef-
feet. The proportion of the popula-
tion receiving pensions varies in the
different provinces all the way from
one in 1000 in the Northwest Terri
tories, down to one in 70 in Prince
Edward Island. The most common
proportion is one in 80. Monthly PEN
sions in the several provinces vary
from $10.68 to $40, with an average OF
$16.69.
