August 2, welcomed other victors,
left before receiving Dave Albrit-
ton, Cornelius Johnson, Negroes,
and Elos Thurber, white California
star. subsequently, Hitler also
sighted Jesse Owens and other
Negro victors.
TT fully confirms the conviction
of those who opposed American
participation in the Berlin show,
Ford said, that the Nazis would,
in this respect as in all others, VIC
late every rule of decency.
Everyone who observes good
craftsmanship cannot but view
with disgust the latest exhibition
of Nazi insnlence that flows from
the ridiculous conception of Aryan
superiority. It is a disgrace that
the best representatives in Ameri-
can sports should be compelled to
suffer humiliation at the hands Of
the Nazis,"

GUILD SIDE OF
THE P.-L. STRIKE


The issue which has resulted in
a strike that has closed the Seattle
Post-Intelligencer was outlined to-
day IN the following statement by
H. Richard (DicIk) Seller, president
of the Seattle Chapter of the AM
erican Newspaper Guild:
"The sole point of controversy
between the P.-I. and its editorial
employees is that of whether or not
the newspaper win tolerate a un-
ion Of its editorial employees.
"The American Newspaper Guild
is union, having for its purpose
the Improvement of the lot of
working newspaper men and wom-
en- copy desk men, reporters, edi-
tors, photographers, artists, libra
rians, and so on. These people be-
long to the class of newspaper en-
ployes who draw the lowest wages.
work the longest hours. and gem
orally fare the poorest because
they are unprotected by any union,
such as protects and strengthens
the employees Of the mechanical and
other departments of newspapers.
The Guild was organized in the
East severa, years ago to improve
the economic conditions of news
papermen. In most cities. it has
been accepted by publishers as
they accepted other unions, and it
has considerably bettered the liv-
ing standards of those who joined.
"But when Guild unit began
forming here on the Pr. last win
ter, the management frowned the
staff members were warned not to
join. But they joined anyway.
feeling something had to be done
to remedy conditions that were
well-nigh intolerable. Some re-
porters were getting less than $40
week. Others drew less than
$50 a week. These men. some Of
them married, studied years in
scho5ls and colleges for their pro-
fessiln, yet drew salaries far be-
low t.tose paid union truck drivers
or jan.tors.
Frank (Slim) Lynch, the pa
per's head photographers for many
years, and Everhardt Armstrong,
dramatic editor and veteran of Sc
venteen years on the paper, both
ex-service men, were two who
joined the Guild in the face of ma
nagement opposition. Both had
little to gain themselves, except
possibly a measure of job security,
but they joined in an unselfish de-
sire to help the lot of their less for
tunate fellow employees.
Both were summarily discharg-
ed within short time after their
membership in the Guild became
known to the PTS management
Notwithstanding that their work
apparently had been entirely sat

years

refused, even after the manage.
rient had been informed that a
strike would result from the re
fusal.
Reluctantly, but feeling they
had no other course. and knowing
blythe management's attitude that
every Guild member was doomed
to eventual discharge for his or her
temerity in joining the Guild, the
GUILD struck. Guildsmen were
joined on the picket line by SYM
pathetic members of other unions,
who recalled their own struggles
in organizing. The Seattle Cen
trail Labor Council listed the news
paper as unfair. The strike closed
the plant, and the P.-I. for prob
ably the first time in its history,
suspended publication.

GREEN PASTURES
AT LOCAL SHOW
DRAWING CROWD

At last THE Green Pastures, ("
Marc ConnelIy's Pulitzer Prize play
that ran eighteen solid months on
Broadway and was road showed
throughout the United States,
thrilling millions Of people. comes
20 the screen.
The picture, which retains all
the unique qualities that made the
stage production known as Amer
ica's Best Loved Play" has its To-
cal premiere at the Fifth Avenue
Theatre now.
There are one hundred and TWEEN
ty beautiful scenic settings. some
of them of gigantic proportions,
such as the sunlit glade in which
six hundred characters attend a
celestial fishery. the scene with
Noah's Ark breasting the flood in
a terrific storm; the Southern
community, with its full-sized
church, its gambling halls and its
night clubs; the barbaric palace o.
the King of Babylon. and the spec
tacular night club In which the
Babylonian revels are held and in
which eighty comedy and shapely
dancers entertain the King and his
courtiers.
Marc Connolly, the author Of the
stage production, who collaborat-
ed on the screen play with sheri-
dan Gibney. and co-directed it with
William Keighley. declares that the
picture is vastly superior to the
stage show.
The story. based on Roark Brad
ford's novel, is highly humorous
yet tenderly reverent. It begins
in a Sunday School Of the old
South attended by children asking
their pastor to explain Heaven te
them.
The story of the creation with
the subsequent sins of mankind or
earth and the glory of Heaven. as
revealed in literally translated Bib
lical lore, are then presented in
picture form by the quaint pastor
as he interpretates them.
Exceptional music sets off the
picture. This is in the form of spi.
rituals, sung by a chorus Of sixty
rich voices, the same as heard in
the original stage play as rendered
by the famous Hall johnson choir.
The drama is enacted by ire
mendous cast, with one hundred
and eleven speaking parts and al
most a thousand other players.
Rex Ingram, whom author-director
Connolly declares to be one of the
greatest actors in the world. has
the role made famous by Richard
Berry Harrison who played the
part through the five years of the
stage run, and who endeared him
self to millions.
The most important roles are
played by Oscar Polk, Eddie An
derson, Frank Wilson, Abraham
Gleaves, George Reed, Rex Ingram,
who has three parts, Myrtle An
derson, AL Stokes. Edna NJ. Harris,
James Fuller, George Randol, and
Ida Forsyne.
