Actors ! Demands
Extreme Film
Heads Insist
BIZ HoroId Heffernon

OF nine specific demands made by
the screen actors guild Ia new-con-
tract negotiations with film pro-
Iducers, granting Of four would deal
q death blow to the industry, several
studio heads predicted.
Television, reissues, overtime pay
and other improvements In salary
and working conditions for actors
are covered In the new proposals
to replace q 10-year pact expiring
May Is.
Most drastic and dangerous Of all
to the producers way of thinking
Is the proposal that all actors-stars
included be paid for overtime, re-
gardless OF contracts. And for night
work the fee would run to time and
q half. Considering that most fea-
ture pictures never start or end
shooting at specific hours and that
night work is frequent, this clause
is most frowned upon by the bosses.
***
No loan-outs to other studios
without the players consent Is an
other tabled as an extreme demand
because, for any reason at all, an
actor could refuse and hold up q
profitable bargain negotiated be-
tween two studios.
Others which the producers say
would be difficult to reconcile them
selves to are those declaring that
actors should participate in profits
Of reissued pictures, and that any
pictures made by guild members
should not be turned over to tele-
vision.
Producers, determined to battle 1t
out, and guild chiefs, equally In
sistent that their demands be met,
will sit down to their arguments
April Is. It looks like battle royal
is shaping up.

Baby Crop in Netherlands
Records Sharp Increase

NEW YORK. - Birth rates for the
Netherlands have been increasing
sharply in the last year, the Neither
lands information bureau here re-
ports. Current rate of 1874 per thou
sand compares with 20.1 per thou
sand before the war and reflects a
large increase in the number of
marriages.
The bureau says this birth rate
never before was approached in the
country. The famine which ravaged
the country Immediately after the
war had its effect in a very low birth
rate in large cities, which reported a
rate of 1913 for January, 1916, but
that rate has been climbing until the
latest report from the large cities
shows a rate of 1871 per thousand.
The country also reports a low
death rate, although st~atisticians
suggest that many premature deaths
among older people during the ia
mine may be partly responsible for
the better showing now.

Greenland Reported
Sinking Into the Ocean

ascertained the 1874, 000-square-
mile island is slipping back into
the sea at an increasing rate. One
hundred years ago, the island
sank at the rate of only 40 inches
per century.
The scientists also predicted
that Greenland's tropical climate
of 10000 years ago is gradually
returning, but made no prediction
as to the length of time it would
take for the present Arctic eli
mate to disappear altogether.
