HOLLYWOOD
BY ERSkINE JOHNSON

A year ago you could hardly
find two glamor girls or boys who
would even talk to each other Now
they're rubbing shoulders for the
biggest cooperative endeaVor of all
the Hollywood Canteen.
Well report later on this pool
ing of movietoWn's time, talent and
money when we see it in operation.
But from what has been accom-
plished-a $4,000 building and the
cooperation Of everyone from up
stars and studio bosses to stage
laborerS-it looks like it's going to
be big thing.
Typical of the way the stars are
supporting the Canteen was a tele
phoned offer of a dishWaSher. I'm
a little old" said the applicant.
DO you take old men?" Assured
| there would be a job for him, the
diShWaSher-to- gave his name
Victor Moore.
With all the foreign locales in
the cameras, technical experts are
having a field day in Hollywood.
! Director Lewis Milestone gave
three technical experts a friendly
admoniton when they were assign
ed to his latest picture, Edge of
Darkness" He told them about the
time he was directing Two Arabian
saying how wrong everything was,
Knights His technical expert kept

The set was the ultimate in silk
en- perfMned Oriental luxury, the
I sultants palace in Arabia where,
of course, they had never heard
of anybody like Thomas A. Edison
baited lin a place like this in
or his works. Say Milestone
| Arabia, how would they turn on
| the electric lights? With a switch
on the wall, or a button that you
step on in the floors?' Not hesit-
ating a moment, the technical eX-
pert said, "Oh always in Arabia,
with a button on the floor"
BIT OF ADVICE
Director Lloyd Bacon was inter

off long list of totally obscure
dramatic schools.
You know" Bacon said, you
remind me of something my father
said. When he became a big star
in 'Lightnin' he was invited to be
the commencement speaker at the
famous Sargent School of Drama.
The most important thing in an
acting career he told the g.2du-
ates, is to learn all you can about
acting - and then to make sure
to forget it.
There's a Christmas rush on in
Hollywood this October. The stars

NO TIME FOR ARGUMENT

IN A DETAILED and fact-crammed statement
read before Congressional committee PreSl-
dent William Green of the American Federation
of Labor showed beyond question the necessity fol
more housing in centers Of war production His
statement presented conclusive evidence that lack
of housing is already seriously interfering with
production
President Green cited reports from many cen
ters telling of production delay due to shortage of
housing. He pointed to ways in which lack OF
housing hampers production, by creating artificial
labor shortages by making employment unstable
and by affecting the physical condition of workers
resulting in ineff'ciency and lower output.
The AF'L head urged approval of $6OO,OOO
900 war housing program recommended by Presi-
dent Roosevelt but pointed out it would by nc
means meet the need. He emphasized the urgent
need for speed saying
"As a simple matter Of war production re-
qurements alone, adequate provision of war hous-
ing is imperative. 1t is the sole and direct respon
sibiity Of Congress to provide the funds necessary
to supply war housing essential for war prOduc-
ton This responsibility must be discharged with
out delay.
"There is no time for exhaustive debate, lei
surely dellberatlon, or argument over details
Every day lost in the provision of war housing is
IA day lost in the supply Of shells and guns to the
men standing face to face against the enemy, in
their faith that Americas industrial might will
be ready to back them up on the crucial day of
battle. "
President Green has ably presented the need
for quick action The next move is up to Congress

LABOR MANAGEMENT POLICY
COMMITTEE TABLES ORDEF

Washington, ID. c. QLNS).-A pro
posed directive, "freeZing' war workers
to their jobs to stop the 'pirating' OF
labor by employers offering higher
wages, has been tabled by the Labor
Management Policy Committee of the
War ManpOwer Commission.
The committee acted on the initiative
of Walter L. Reuther, a labor member,
who argued that as long as the vari-
Gus agencies dealing with the problem
of wage StabiliZation had not com
pleted their task it would be unfair
for the government to compel war
workers to remain at their present
employment.
Rcuthcr cited examples Of aircraft
workers in the Detroit area whose
wages varied considerably and de-
cared that to "freeze' these men to
their present jobs would be more likely
to cause "a revolution than to bring
an end to labor 'piracy.'
He cOntended that one method of
preventing changes from one job to an
other was through industry StabiliZa-
ton conferences such as those success
fully held in the shipbuilding and ship
repairing industries.

CLOSED SHOP STUDY
Chicago Union TcachcrsD

NOT ENOUGH publicity has been given to 9
~ careful study the subject of the closed shop
completed last fall. The controversy currently rag
ing on the "freezing Of the closed shops" in de-
Tense industries makes the study especially timely
Closed-shop contracts have been highly benef
cial to industry as well as labor Rev. Jerome l.
Toner, a member of the faculty Of st. Martins
College, concluded after an eight year study con
Quoted under the auspices of Catholic University
Father Toner'S findings, published by the
American Council on Public Affairs, reviewed the
history Of cosed-Shop contracts and concluded
that most of the opposition to such contracts has
come from employer associations rather than ndl
vdual employers.
He noted that many employers used the closed
shop as a means Of compelling employees to joir
company unions and "many Of those who use the
cloSed-shOp to frllstrate genuine labor organlza
tiOn froWn on it when they are asked to lncoTpo-
rate it into standard union contract"
Other conclusions reached by the study are:
/. Approximately 100000 workers are GOV
cred by closed-shop contracts.
2. Closed-shop conditions are dominant in the
brewing, coal, clothing, printing trades, building
trades, motion picture metal and glass industries
3. Labor relations are considerably smoother
as the result Of the coSed-Shop
4. Unions have demonstrated genuine respon
sibility under cloSed-shOp contracts and have con
tributed substantially TO the Improvement Of pro
ducton.
5. The cIosed-shop will probably be the rule
rather chan the exception within the next IL
years.
"Undcr satisfactory cloSed-Shop conditions,
Father Toner'S study said, unions spend less time
fighting and more time helping" and "employes
demonstrate Il greater concern with the improve
ment of production than with union issues"

A LAND OF PLENTY

T'HE VAST production machine that has been
L set up in this country will mean far more than
victory over the Axis. 1t will mean a new and
better world after this war is over. Donald M
Nelson, chairman of the War Production Board
expressed this opinion in recent speech when
he said:
1--WE are fighting for something For genera
tion we have been living on the edge of a new
world; we are only now beginning to realize it.
For the first time in the history of the human
race there can be enough Of everything to go
around Poverty is not inevitable any more. The
sum total of the worlds greatest possible output
of goods, divided by the sum total of the worlds
inhabitants, no longer means a little less than
enough for everybody. 1t means more than
enough. The possibilities in that simple statement
are beyond caculation-and what we are fighting
for is the right to turn some of those possibilities
into realities"
This war is only part of the picture which we
face today according to Mr.. Nelson. "For if the
war is costing us fearful price, it is also develop
ling for us new technques and new abilities. 1t is
placing at our disposal an industrial plant-a set
of developed resources-that will simply be be-
yond price. We shall have the most magnificent
opportunity any nation ever had. To accept that
opportunity we need only have the good pioneer
sense not to be frightened by it just because it
calls for new mental attitudes and new habits Of
thought
The industrial miracle that we have recently
seen performed in this country show us that the
pioneer spirit of America is still alive, and manu-
facturers promise us that after the is over the
huge production facilities and new techniques that
have been developed will be turned over to civilian
needs so that this may be a land of plenty.
