News from Hollywood

As the most exploited group n>the industry, the extras have been mark edly benefited by unionism. The two evils of an extras economic life are low pay and uncertain employment The problem of limiting employment to a group that could make living wage was attacked succeSsively by individual studios, Central Casting Corp. (the studios employment agen- cyl, the producers association, the moribund Academy, and the MIRA.
 All of these efforts failed. But
 when a real uniOn-the Screen Actors Cuild-came along, pro-
 gress was made. Ross looks for a
 happy ending, through the work of a joint guild-producer conn., mittee.
 From the labor viewpoint, Stars and Strikes is marred by the authors limited understanding of and sympa- thy for organized labor. Ross seems to think that unions are created by employees who band together to linn 1t their supply in the hope of improv- ing their bargaining power" He is prone to regard union officials as pri- marily concerned with dues and initi- ation fees.
 Obviously, higher wages in- crease costs. But labor and the public, remembering how the BrOwne-Bioff trial demonstrated the ease with which film prOduc- CTS could dip into petty cash for million or SO, will ask why the industry cannot absorb the cost of eliminating its sweatshOp con- ditiOns.

 The Council now has 10 schools go- ing with at least two sessions of each school being held week. Six of these schools are the schools for sector wardens attended by approximately 1000 people.

ParkCity And Hartford Are Still Leading
25 Per Cent Drop As Soon As Restrictions Went
 Into Effect

That new building construction in both the residential and nOn- residential fields has been hit by priorities in recent months in Con- necticut's four leading cities Bridgeport, Hartford, New Haven, and Waterbury, in New England and throughout the country is con- firmed by figures just released by the U. s. Department of Labor.
 25% DROP
 While these figures show decisive gains in building for the first Il months of 1041 over the same period in l940 in Bridgeport, Hartford and Waterbury, with slight loss in New Haven, the figures for New England as a whole show loss of 18.89o in new non-residential buildings and 35.8%o in new residential buildings with a grand total loss of 25.7% in total building construction including alterations and repairs for November, 1941, as against the preceding month.
 LEADING CITIES
 Total construction in Bridgeport for the first II months of last year totaIed $IO,833,915 against $4,- 852,258 for the same period in 194O; in Hartford $13,195, ,851 against $8,187,l19; in Waterbury $5,175, 758 against $l, ,723, ,63O; in New Haven $4,2lO,l92 against $4,- 648, ,255. These figures include Fed eraI, state and municipal buildings as we'll as private construction.
 The bulk of the increased con- structiOn last year came in the first eight months before the building trades really began to feel priOri- ties.
 Total building permit valuations in November were 239o lower than during November, 1o40," Secretary of Labor Francis Perkins reports. "This was brought about by decline of 69o in indicated expenditures for new residential buildings and a de- crease of 45@o in permit valuations for new non-residential buildings. h. dicated expenditures for additions, al- terations, and repairs showed gain of 1@o over the year period"
 NATIONAL FIGURES
 For the entire nation the follow. ing figures conclusively show the declining trend: total construction in all cities increased 9.5% in the first II months last year over l94O but dropped 24@0 in November from the previous months figure and 22.9% from the total in No. vember, 194O.

HOLLYWOOD.-One movie that Hollywood has never produced and probably never will is the story of its own unionization Any number of pro- ducers would be placed under physi- clans care if the idea were seriously suggested
 Still, the story has all the elements of a good picture with plenty of box office appeal. A young and wealthy industry emigrates to the west, and settles down in what is generally called 'the open shop citadel of America" The studios prove them selves to be as anti-union as the rest of Los Angeles.
 FAMILIAR PATTERN
 The plot unfolds in a pattern familiar to millions of industrial workers. A respectable company union (the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences) tries to save the producers from the fi- nancial embarrassment of real collective bargaining.
 When the depression strikes, the Academy reveals its basic loyalty in the finest tradition of company union- ism. It okays 50 per cent cut-and commits suicide. Spurred by the union boom of MIRA. days, high-priced talent turns to honest unionism The producers fight back,f but finally ca pitulate. And today the industry is unionized from top to bottom.
 STARS AND STRIKES"
 The title and the basic facts for this story are already avail able in Murray Ross new book, Stars and Strikes (Columbia Uni versity Press, New York, $2.75).
 As an antidote for the hokum dis seminated in screen magazines and most Hollywood columns, the book is invaluable. It is pretty hard to re- tain the notion that everybody in pie lures gets at least $5,000 year when Ross shows that the daily wage for extras has been as low as SIPS, all though the producers explained that this sum was paid only to natives" and orphans in an asylum"
 FABULOUS WAGE
 It seems, however, that plenty of extras might specify as or phans, for the author points out that 90 per cent of all the peo- pie we see in the movies earn less than $500 a year.

 The Cigar Makers point out that if the appeal is allowed, cigar makers might just as well go on relief; that wage rates in the industry have not kept pace with the greatly increased cost of living; that they are having extreme difficulty making both ends meet at existing rates, and to lower them would just about put an end to their jobs.
