Guild Head Sends
Publishers Reply

NEW YORK, July /. (U.P)-Hey-
wood Broun, president of the Am
erican Newspaper Guild, said to-
day "the guild will continue to
stick to its knitting and be govern
ed by the decisions of its own con-
vention rather than that of the
publishers"
Broun'S statement was made in
reference to the meeting of news
paper publishers in Chicago this
week at which the publishers
adopted resolution condemning
the guilds decision to demand a
guild closed shop.
Broun's statement:
Tine publishers should have
brought a copy reader with them
to the convention in Chicago. They
might have stated their case much
more briefly-'We are against the
guild and have covered the
ground.
1T is inaccurate TO say that eco.
nomic issues were not involved. The
American Newspaper Guild was
formed to better wages and work
ing conditions of newspaper men
and women, and to raise the ethical
standards of the craft. The guild
has always felt that the guild shoI
mot the closed shop) was necessary
TO achieve and maintain these
goals"

the decision was based purely on

receptivity to mattress stuffing

At first it was suggested Power
go on a personal appearance tour
with a trunkful of chin-wigs to
be worn successfully, while popu-
lar reaction was tested on an ap-
plause basis.
But two factors were against
that. First, it would take too long,
and second, the sight of Power
leaping on and off stage and
changing whiskers at every bound
might be construed by audiences
as slightly ridiculous. Power is not
a comic-yet.
