During the past month the Con-
ference, through its representative
on the Price Control Board of this
section, Mrs. Delphia Parker, has
been very active in keeping prices
stabilized, and by acting immedi-
ately when complaints arise, has
maintained a semblance of price
control.
The conference, also represented
on the rent control unit of OPA
through John Noel, Local 1874. is
now making a determined effort to
secure factual data on rent in
creases in the past year in this sec
ton. AS soon as this data is at
hand, the Conference will demand
rent freeze for Cumberland.
The Conference went on record
for a lowering of theater admission
fees for service men and women.
Letters were sent all theaterS. but
to date the Liberty Theater has
been the only one to make reply.

Recently the Labor Unity Con-

Men who have devoted their lives
to the study Of war are competent
to apply qualifying standards for

Contract
To WLB

A two-week vacation with pay
for employees with eight or more
years seniority is included for the
first time in the contract nego-
tiated for 1894 between the Cum
berland Macaroni Co. and Macaroni
Workers Local 1132-CIO. EN-
ployes with four to eight years
seniority will receive IL weeks
vacation with pay, and those with
one to four years will get one
week as before.
The new contract. which was
finally agreed on Sept. Is and
ratified by the local the following
week, provides an increase for all
employees Of four cents per hour,
and nine cents for janitors and
watchmen, heretofore much the
lowest paid. Final settlement of
the contract was delayed because
the company wished to pay a
smaller hourly increase to the
shipping clerks.
But the union resolutely refused
to consider any exception. and
after two visits by Cancellation
Commissioner r. w. Goodrich of
the U. S. Department Of Labor, the
company receded from its refusal.
INTRODUCES APPRENTICESHIP
A period Of training ranging
hom six months to three years
will be required before green"
employees receive the full rate on
skilled and semi-skilled jobs. This
new provision was made necessary
because OF the shortage Of skilled
workers available so that for the
first time workers not having
previous experience have to be
placed on these jobs.
The agreement includes new pro-
visions for speeding up the arbi-
tration machinery. The contract
will run to June /, 1914. and the
pay and vacation provisions. which
are still to be approved by the
War Labor Board. become effec.
tive as Of June /, 1913.

"Spangles" is her first attempt at
circus work. but Il love it," she
said. Il can hardly wait for the new
show next year"
Lauretta loves circus life for two
reasons. First, because she is crazy
about animals-especially the ele-
plants whom she visits every day
and second, because circus people
are so loyal to each other.

the studio saw him as a prospec-
tive replacement for George Brent

Imagine their surprise and concern
when Mr.. Shayne turned down the
first script presented to him. Only
reason he gave was that his role was
too nice and kindly" Warmers
then took their cue and cast him as

Shayne looks at the situation with
broad logic.

stray from the straight and con-
fining paths of screen sweetness, set
originally by Mary Pickford, Mary

Taylor is more completely Holly
wood product, in professional way,
than any other first-line star among
the men. He came directly to films
from college dramatics at Pomona,
Calf, where his good looks and his
acting, in the order named, won
him film contract.
Since then his career has been
marked by a steady rise, almost as
though on a schedule, to his present
position as one of the leading male
stars on the screen, with no ripple
of scandal. no poor pictures nor
rows with his studio bosses to inter-
fere. His careful avoidance of the
many pitfalls that beset the path of
q handsome young actor in Holly
wood and his happy married life
with Barbara StanWyck make him
a model fellow, in local opinion. And
that very fact has caused his only
trouble.

NEW YORK


There's a neatly lined box in the
program of "Spangles,' the conti-
nental-styled circus at Madison
Square Garden, that says staged
by Lauretta Jefferson
A few pages back Of that, there's
a net little story and neat little
picture. All of it is a tranquil trib-
ute to a lady who is anything but
tranquil.
The picture is the real revelation.
Any one who has had look at
Lauretta at work would be moved
to speculate how the photographer
caught her standing still long enough
to take it.
Lauretta is the seventh theatrical
generation Of Jeffersons. Her great
grandfather was he Joe Jefferson
who won fame in the sleepy role of
rip Van Wrinkle; perhaps he dozed
so much in the part that his de-
scendants don't need sleep. Lauret-
ia is a good argument for the theory.
Lauretta had full charge of stag
ing "Spangles" She put it on after
only two weeks of rehearsals, with
only one ring available in which to
train the 3O-girl "Spangelette'
chorus, to teach the musical cues
to animals and actors, to assemble
all the jig-saw pieces of the indi-
vidual acts into one harmonious
production. Even now, with the
shaw an established success, the
last minutes before the opening
spectacle find her dashing madly
about in a froth of instructions,
cautions and reminders.
