Film Studios Formed
Solid Front on Strike,
Labor Inquiry Hears
BY the Associoted Press

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 27.-Testi-
mony that major, movie producers
were in agreement on policy at the
start of the current Hollywood
jurisdictional strike which began
September 26, 1916, was given be-
fore House Investigating Sub
committee yesterday.
E. j. Mannix. vice president of
Metro Goldwyn-Mayer Studios, told
the committee that between Septem-
Der II ana September % a Labor
Committee representing major pro-
ducers agreed on a program under
which carpenters who were men,
bers of the AFL Conference of
Studio Unions would be assigned to
work hot" sets and, if they re-
fused, were to be dismissed.
These carpenters had notified
producers September II, 1916, that
they would refuse to work on sets
built or processed by members of
the rival AFL International Alliance
Of Theatrical Stage Employees, de-
claring such sets "hot."
Other witnesses from three sep
arate studios testified that the hot"
set assignments began September
% and %, resulting in the layoff of
CSU carpenters and the actual start
of the strike.
"We were faced with strangula-
ton OF work. Mr.. Mannix testified
carpenters were refusing to work
on sets and the studios were faced
with closing down when they ran
out of sets for pictures.
I'VE had to break the deadlock
We met every day for more than a
week to decide what to do"
William R. Walsh, M-G-M labor
relations director, testified he re-
ceived instructions on carrying out
this plan from Mr.. Mannix. Mr.
Walsh said payroll checks were made
out for carpenters before they were
asked to do work they had said they
would not do.
Irving McCann, committee coun-
sci, asked Mr.. Walsh If he was
aware that discharged CSU car
penters would be replaced by IATSE
men, and he replied: II was; they
had replaced the men in a previous
strike"

Pullman Fare Rise Asked
By IS Southern Railroads

ATLANTA, Aug. 27 (P.-Thirty-
six Southern railroads agreed yes
terday that they can't make money
hauling passengers, but in petitions
to the Interstate Commerce Com
mission they were less than unani-
nous on what to do about it.
All joined in asking a sos per
cent increase in first-class fares for
sleeping car and parlor car travel
But 10 of the 36 were at odds with
their colleagues on proposals to ad-
vance coach fares 14.54 per cent.
Pullman travel would be raised
from 3.3 cents mile to 3.5 cents
while round-trip fares would be-
come 315 cents a mile. Coach fares
would advance from 30 cents to 2.5
per mile, with 10 per cent reduction
for round trip.
The non-petitioning lines, which
are holding to present % cents a
mile for coach travel, include such
large carriers as the Seaboard Air
4OulSNl11C NCllOI dl
Of Georgia, Florida East Coast, and
Gulf, Mobile g. Ohio.
On questioning by Interstate
Commerce Commissioner John L.
Rogers, James B. Sharpton, pas
senger traffic manager of the At
lantic Coast Line Railroad, acknowl-
edged that some lines believe higher
coach fares would do more harm
than good.
Mr.. Sharpton expressed his own
contention that an increase is essen
tial. but said the ACL would have
to withhold fare rises on at least
half its operations in order to meet
competition.
Evidence in behalf Of the rail-
roads was concluded in one day, and
Mr.. Rogers said argument would be
set in Washington at the earliest
possible date.

By the Assoeioted Press


NEW YORK. Aug 27-Physicians
until they are "a. enjoy markedly
lower death rate than the general
population at the same age, but as
the years of practice 60 on. the effect
of professional activities shows itself
in death rates which rise above those
Of the general population, the Metro
politan Life Insurance Co. said yes
terday.
According to a report on the
longevity and mortality of American
male physicians. the death rate at
the ages rs to "a is only three-flfths
that of white males of the same ages
At ages SIS to 64, physicians have
a higher death rate by II per cent
and at ages IS to IA by per cent
The report attributed the more
favorable record for young physi-
clans to the fact that most young
doctors are drawn from better sit
uated social-economic classes, and
to the fact that only young men
and women in good health can
undertake and successfully complete
the strenuous requirements Of mod

PARISH STREET SATURDAY
NIGHT: History repeats it's self
is an ancient dogma and one in
which have always had the great
est faith. / confess though it is
a philosophy that has always
been hard for to apply with
respects to the contemporary Sc
enc. | got woke-up on its appli-
cation here this past Saturday
Night when a group of Parish
Streeters took me up on some
remarks | had made here about
Gus" not going to church. The con-
slusion / had reached although
not as final and positive as my
Parish Street friends made me as
sumo, that the reason the White
Folks churches are full every Sun
day and our aren't is because ours
are not keeping pace with the
times in providing modern year
around comforts for the church
goers. In spite of my defese of my
position everybody jumped to the
side of the fellow who ups and
says Now brother Greene,
you amt right. What's happening
is that history is repeating its
self. Now, he says, away back
younder in olden times, Martin
Luther sees all the folks agetting
tired of the church, and not joining
and finds out that what everybody
mostly was mad about was that
they had found out that the church
was Selling the way to heaven.
Then, no matter no you lived,
hwo you got your money, and who
you were, all you had to do way
pay what the preacher and the
bishops charged and you were sin"
the church, saved then and there
pronto and absolutely Then, what
made Martin Luther get his ham
mer and nail them bills up on the
churches doors to tell the world
that he didn't lack no selling tick
cts to heaven and started the
churches to letting in the poor,
sick, lame, and halt f. the only
requirement being good moral
christian character (But look in
the Amen Corners and on the
board) now and who do you see.
Then he says, make the churches
modern and up to date but "our"
folks gonna continue to lose con-
fidence in the church and the
preachers until it get so my favor
tie bootleggar cant sent So and
get his named call at the revival
meeting for paying S. to keep the
holy works going on.
