MOVIE INDUSTRY
SAVED FOR time
Ten Per Cent Wage In
crease Until Feb. Is;
Unions Must Act Then

Hollywood, Nov. 27.--(UP)-A 10
per cent wage increase for $4,000
studio technicians and every day
laborers gave promise today that
movie theaters throughout the coun-
try would continue business as usual
for at least another 10 days.
The capitulation to union wage
demands by producers whose product
maintains the theater business was
to be abrogated specifically, they
said, on Feb. IS, 1910. 1t would be
up to the unions at that time, they
said, to prove to a neutral board
that the studios were financially able
to continue the wage increases. The
produces said this proof could not be
established.
The workers affected by the in
crease are all members of one or
another American Federation of La
Dor affiliate. They were represented
in negotiations with the producers by
William Bioff, so-called Gear" of
the International Alliance of The
atrical and Stateg Employees.
They work around the sound stages
and get less pay in a year than most
stars receive in a week.
In calling off a threatened strike
OF all union laborers who make
and exhibit movies, the IATSE
agreed to give the producers an OPP
portunity" next February IS to con-
vvince them the 10 per cent wage in
crease is impractical. Bioff, as
spokesman, said 1t would be q diff.
ficult task for the employers.
He said the salaries of directors
and other workers who receive more
than $4,000 a week should be scare
fully scrptinized" before the laborers
who he claimed get no more than
5000 a year, allow their wages to be
cut.
Bioff was under arrest OH a ~
year old Chicago pandering charge
at the time negotiations were being
conducted. The union, however, ten
dered him a vote Of confidence and
declared he had been subjected to
ridicule to destroy the unions con-
fidence In him.

Line Near Plckets to
Get Men Inside

Detroit, Nov. 27.--(UP)-Approxi-
mately 400 men, all negroes, entered
the Dodge main plant Of Chrysler
corporation today unmolested but
under heavy police guard.
The men passed quickly through
picket line of an estimated four
thousand men who booed and Missed
but made no effort to interfere.
The back-to-work movement had
been sponsored by the United Auto
mobile Workers Union affiliated with
the American Federation of Labor.
Pickets were members Of the JAW
affiliated with the Congress Of In
dustrial Organizations, which has
been engaged in a production dispute
with Chrysler for SO days.
Many Of the negroes said they
were foundry workers. They had as
sembled a half-mile from the plant
In early morning darkness. Police
took weapons from some, including
lead pipes and hammers.
Foilce, DOM mounted ana on 1901,
formed almost solid wall for blocks
leading to the main gate. At the gate
they kept lane open, holding back
pickets lined up 20 deep.
The negroes arrived at the plant
closely punched. A UAW-CIO loud
speaker on top of a building across
the street blared out: Let them In,
boys, they can't build cars and they
know It,"
A few moments after they en-
tered, about 40 came out. They said
they had been turned out because
they did not have badges.
Some said they never had been en-
ployed at Dodge.
After the Negroes entered, the
picket line began TO disperse and po-
lice were ordered off duty. One union
man who said he had seen all strike
activity in Detroit in recent years,
said today's concentration of police
was the largest he had witnessed.
Negotiations in the production dis
pute resume today.

ROMEO WRITINC
FOR HIS JULIET
Court Gave Her to Him,
But Somehow She Has
Disappeared

New York, Nov. 27--(UP)-Romeo
George Lowther III abandoned his
personal hunt for Juliet Eileen Her
rick today, believing the law would
order her into his arms.
The law agreed with him nearly
two weeks ago that Eileen was be-
ing held prisoner by her parents
and that she had o right TO marry
him despite her family's objections.
The judge ordered q Today respite
IN his courtship and said 1t could
20 on after that.
But the To-day respite had elaps-
ed 80 hours ego and Lowther had
been hunting ell over Long Island
for his love without success. She
had been In hospital until shortly
before the zero hour" and then
was whisked away to what Walter
r. Herrick, her father, said was
the home Of friends lin the coun-
try"
Lowther said he would 60 to
court again, probably today, to de-
mand another writ Of habeas
corpus - which "freed" Eileen be-
fore and possibly ask that Herrlck
be held In contempt for failing to
obey the courts order.
Ally In Herrick Camp
Lowther learned that he had an
ally In the Herrick camp-white-
haired Nellie OConnor, who was
nurse to Eileen's mther and who
cared for Eileen. Miss OConnor,
matching the role of Shakespeare's
nurse who was all for the consuma-
ton Of Juliet's love for Romeo,
said:
IT love Mr.. and Mrs. Herrick
dearly, but I think the way they
have treated my lovely Eileen in
this affair Is terrible. For little ELL
cen, this Is love, and no question
about 1t, and she ought to be al
lowed to see Mr.. Lowther and marry
him II she wants."
Eileen told Supreme Court Justice
Isidor Wasservogel Nov. Is that she
loved Lowther and wanted to marry
him. The Judge told her to think
1t over for 10 days--without Low
Tiers help. She could marry him
then II she wanted to. The Herricks
presented their objections, which
conferred around the fact that Low
ther took their daughter to "ob-
jectionable" places, but Wasservogel
said Eileen Is 20-years-old and has
q legal right to do as she pleases.
