Since a year ago the American Fed
GRAFTON of Labor has gained million
members, and that is no small achleve-

stimulation. There has been no hope
of at once gaining higher wages.
There has been none of that great
enthusiasm that marked the days OF
wartime elation.
Today union labor's great growth
is for the sole and simple reason that
the national recovery act has MADE
it possible for man to join union
without losing his job. We have be-

age-long assertion of labor that most
men WANT to join unions, IT only
they are left free to do so.
Every labor man has heard many
repetitions Of the slander that men
ioin unions because they have to JOIN
to get a job. And now we have the
proof, piled mountain high, that
men want to join unions for the sake
of associating with their fellows in
a common effort in behalf OF wage
earners. They want to join and they
will join, just as soon as the law
protects them in their right to JOIN.

EASING EASING ILAAbb00R'S LABOR S
BURDEN

Of course it is an axiom that those
who own and control industry do not
install machinery for the benefit of
the workers. They put in the iron
slaves because they can make more
profit out of them than they can by
employing men and women.
Nevertheless industrial engineers
and machine-mad employees continue
to harp about the consideration for
the workers which animates them
when they introduce "labor- saving"
machinery in wholesale amounts in
order, they say, to relieve" working
men and women from the arduous toll
of hand production. But if one reads
far enough one will usually find that
this professed altruism is submerged
by the profit motive swinging into the
picture.
This is illustrated by recent ar
ticle in the Railway Age which car
ries the suggestive title, Easing the
scribes various forms of machinery
used by the owners of our railways
to eliminate thousands bf railway
employees and tells what the railroad
owners have accomplished in "reduc-
ing the burden on labor" performed
by section gangs in keeping the tracks
tree of weeds. The article states:
"Weeding was formerly hand
operation, slow and expensive, which
required from 300 to 800 man-hours
mile and cost from $50 to 5000. To-
day through the perfection of suitable
equipment, the same track can be
cleared of weeds in two or three hours
by means of chemical applications or
burning for as little as $3.50 to $40
a mile"
This same sort of leasing the bur-
den of labor has been applied with
such revolutionary thoroughness IN
other work like rail laying and ballast
cleaning that "the section gang is be-
ing gradually reduced to policing
unit"
The author of the article grows
grandiloquent over his theme that this
labor -displacing machinery was de-
signed primarily "to reduce the bur-
den on labor" but finally lets the real
cat out of the bag. He says:
"* From an economic stand
point, few such machines can survive
unless they are able to demonstrate
savings of sufficient magnitude TO
paw a satisfactory profit on the IN
vestment they represent"
There you have it. Those who own
and control the railway industry ana
every other industry substitute Ia
hor-saving machinery for working
men and women, not from any altru-
istic desire to lease the burden on
labor" but solely because the dollars
and cents cost of the work done by
tho machines is less than the cost OF
the same work done by men and wom-
en-. The owners of industry by the
introduction of machinery save"
themselves the cost of human labor
and swell the size of their dividends,
while the workers whose labor has
been saved are thrown into the
unemployed and live on near-star-
walton basis

has Just got a new one as q result OF
Convention City"
His role in the story Of what goes on
presumably at Atlantic City conven-
tions is one of the few examples, fur
thermore, of pantomime in the talkies.
With the sole exception of Charlie
Chaplin, about whom even now rumors
fly to the effect that he Is writing for
sound, there hasn't been a pantomime
artist on the talking screen. And tech
nically there still isn't, because Herbert
has those three punch lines to speak in
Convention City" But, for purposes
of discussion. Herbert Is the other one.
Pantomime, he says, is fine in come
dies, but not so good in serious stories.
He speaks from the experience Of any
number Of years on the legitimate and
vaudeville stages Herbert doesn't be-
lieve, as a matter of fact, that pan
tomime should be carried out to any
extent except in comedy. He admits
the difficulty of it, citing the rarity Of
pantomimists as illustration. He be-
lieves that there should not be more
than one pantonimist in comedy, to
avoid the possible diminution OF effect.

Herbert Brennon had his trouble with
Betty Bronson during the filming OF "A
sips are correct. She is said to have
| thrown herself on the floor and kicked
and screamed in an effort to have things
go her own way. But Brennon, wise in
the temperamental outburStS of artists,
suggested a glass of water splashed over
her in order to bring her to, and was
soon proceeding with his picture.
Red-headed Nancy Carroll became
known as the most difficult leading lady
to deal with on her lot. And why?
Because she thought she knew better
than those who had piloted her to fame.
Edmund GouldingS friends tell OF his
narrow escape from a glass that the
fiery Nancy intended to hurl at him.
Fortunately for the director, the glass
smashed in her hand. And unfortu-
nately for the star, she is supposed to
have had to have several stitches taken
in her hand after the alleged episode.
Pola Negri and Gloria Swanson

loved them and would feed them all
each morning and night.
The issue developed to the extent
where Swanson declared the studio
could choose between her and the cats
but before such decision was necessary

Why are these good old days over in

suffered heavy financial losses as well
as most every one else At any rate,
