End Is Not YETI

Hollywood's $4,000 movie max
ers labored as usual today. but
wondered between clinches of the
hero and the leading lady whether
a strike would suspend the picture
business even before their Thanks
giving turkeys have turned to
hash.
Leaders Of $4,000 American Fed
Grafton of Labor members will
meet again Friday with the pic
ture producers to see whether they
get their wages raised 10 per cent
or close Hollywood and shut
down every movie theater in
America.
They had threatened to 70
on strike yesterday, darken-
Ing all 20 studios, unless their
demands were met. All after
noon leaders argued In the
ornate office Of Joseph NJ.
Schenck, Goth Century Fox
chieftain. At dusk they
emerged to announce that
they hadn't settled anything,
but had achieved a four-day
truce.
Schenck and Meyer Lewis, west
ern director of the AFL, refused
fatty to say what they had argued
about, aside from wages. Lewis
did say that the movie producers
could have all the time they need
ed for a settlement, SO long as
they eventually produced a 10 per
cent pay raise.
Hollywood itself was In ex-
cellent shape for a shutdown.
Some $50 pictures were In the
cans and the studios could
close for perhaps two months
without affecting their out
put. 1t was threatened, how
ever, to call all picture ma
chine operators on sympa-
thetic strike II the wage de-
mands were not granted.
Not only would that close thea
tiers everywhere, but would cut off
the flow of money to headquarters,
which spent S150,Ooo,oO0 last year
In the manufacture of celluloid
entertainment. Observers said the
producers could not stand such a
shutdown, financially, and would
acquiesce to labor's demands.
A strike would activate clauses
in all players contracts, allowing
them to leave whatever studio in
which they were working and seei
employment elsewhere at higher
wages.

Roberts, whose nomination TO
United States district judge for the
western district of Virginia, has
just been turned down by the Sem
ate 72 to 9, denies that any such
veto power was given to Gov. Price.
Senator Glass, in a peppery state
ment issued last night, sought to
prove that the power over Federal
patronage in Virginia had been
given the Governor.
The Virginia Senator accused the
President of trivial evasion" Of
having declined to answer "a per-
fectly reasonable and simple ques-
ton which might be answered di-
rectly and, of course, without any
evasion of any kind" The question
the Senator propounded to the
President in a letter last March IT
was as follows: Il desire to ask If
recommendation made by me as
a Senator of Virginia for important
Federal appointments, requiring the
advice and consent of the United
States Senate, are to be subject to
the effective vote of the Governor
Of Virginia" He was actuated to
ask this question by the publication
in Richmond and elsewhere Of &C
counts declaring that Gov. Price had
been given such power.
Inference "NoW Confirmed"
Senator Glass said that his ques-
ton was not answered then directly
or otherwise. A letter from the
President he said merely gave him
a lecture on the Constitution. So
Senator Glass wrote a second letter
to the Chief Executive, saying that
his inference was that the Presi-
dent had approved the offensive
publication And Mr. Glass added
In his statement last night this
inference "in my mind is now con-
firmed."
The President, in his letter to
Judge Roberts, said he had replied
to Senator Glass second letter in
part as follows:
Il told him I was not in the
habit Of confirming or denying any
newspaper article or editorial. OBJ
viously If I were to begin that sort
OF thing I would have no spare
time to attend to my executive
duties"
That, in the opinion Of Senator
Glass was mere evasion, no matter
what the President says now. And
Senator Glass added: True, was
told to 60 ahead in the usual way;
but the President added that he
would reserve the right to consult
