HOLLYWOOD. May 10 G.N.S)
Having won a virtual closed shop
and pay raises for extras and bit"
players, Hollywood stars returned
to the cameras today after hurting
a strike threat at producers.
A walkout Of the $500 members
of the Screen Actors Guild-includ-
ing almost every major star in the
film capital-WaS averted at the
zero hour last night when pro
ducers capitulated to the players
demands.
Announcement of the producers
recognition Of the guild shop"
and agreement to wage boosts
among the lower brackets was
cheered wildly by 5000 actors and
actresses crowded into Hollywood
Legion Stadium in q mass meeting.
100 Per Cent for Strike
Just before the announcement
was made 1t was revealed that the
guild had voted almost 100 per
cent to strike Immediately If their
demands were not met.
The actors and actresses gath
cred to decide if they should join
the walkout called by 10 craft
unions of the Federated Motion
Picture crafts.
Emotions valued at thousands
of dollars before the cameras were
registered free when Guild Presi-
dent Robert Montgomery an
nounced the producers agree
ment.

fight ring which was used for q
rostrum were Vice President
James Cagney and Directors Joan
Crawford, Franchot Tone, Edward

Morgan, Robert Young, Lucille
Gleason and Jean HerSholt.
Walkout Continues
Montgomery announced:
"Since last Sunday the board
has been In almost continuous
session, Often we have worked
until 3 a. m. We have an agree
ment with producers, but 1t has
not yet been committed to full
contract. This was made possible
only because the senior mem.
bership of the guild has backed
us 90 per cent and the junior
membership has given its full
support"
Then Secretary Kenneth Thcmp-
son read a statement from Pro
Queer Joseph Schenck that all the
studios contacted so far had
agreed to the guild demands.
Meanwhile Charles Leasing.
head of the striking federation,
said the walkout Of the technical
unions would continue despite loss

well as picketing Of theaterS all
over the country and q nationwide
boycott against films produced by
