4 THE DAILY WORKER, NEW YORK, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER ‘MOTION PICTURE OPERATORS WIN CHICAGO STRIKE Theatre Bosses Give in As Loss Totals Million | | CHICAGO, Sept. 4.—Striking mem- bers of the Motion Picture Qperators’ | and .the Stage Hands’ Unions have | won a signal victory against the | Chicago Exhibitors’ Association, The victory of the strikers marks the con- | THE CONVENTION STENOGRAPHERS “Daily Workers, Held by | | enema the California Official) “IN BRITISH COAL. | clusion of a lockout of motion pic-| &Y | ture operators which followed the strike call issued by their leaders for the operators to walk out of all the theatres controlled by the Orpheum Circuit. The stage hands went out on Wednesday by which time the strike has spread to several other | large cities. | According to the terms arrived in the conference of the operators’ and exhibitors’ representatives, the stage ; hands will receive a wage increase | amounting to three quarters of their ‘demands. The apprentices will not receive a raise. The operators will get a fulfilment of all existing contracts, while the two men dismissed from the Belmont Theatre, an Orpheum house, are to have full pay until January 11, when their status will again be considered. | The strike was precipitated by the | discharge of these two men. The motion picture houses have been closed for six days. The exhibi- tors have been losing on an average | of $225,000 a day or a total of over a million dollars, while the workers were on strike. Thousands of peo- ple have been deprived of their ac- customed amusement and the reopen- | ing of the theatres which has already been affected will bring a general re- lief. Strike Spreads. The strike of motion picture op- erators was immediately followed by the walk out of operators in Minneap- olis and other towns. These strikes are still in progress and it is ex-| pected that the success of the Chicago operators will keep up the fighting spirit of the men in other cities. Maloy Attacked. An attack on the life of Thomas | Maloy, business manager of the Mo- | tion Picture Operators’ Union, was made early yesterday morning. While | | riding south on Wabash Avenue in a car containing Thomas Burke. head of the Janitors’ Union, and Wren, a reporter, Maloy was pursued by a car which swerved towards him. He called to Burke and Wren and all three leaped to the sidewalk and pre- pared to defend themselves, but the other car sped by altho the occupants kept Maloy covered with their re-| volvers.
