A Great Showman Speaks Pe LAEMMLE has reached depths of a sort, however, in a little piece of publicity that recently appeared in his house organ, “Uni- versal Weekly.” This:is a weekly ballyhoo sheet of the usual type gotten out by the different»movie-butchers at Hollywood for the men who own and manage the moVie houses. ‘It gives them news on forthcoming pic- tures, praising them ‘of course, and assuring the exhibitor that each new job is the masterpiece of all time. You know the kind of thing—“a gentle and touching love story set like the gem that it is in a suitable setting of music is provided by ‘Beloved',” says the issue of Jan. 27, 1934, An on the other side of the page is-the following little story: “Universal Newsreel Ready for War” “Carrying out the tradition) of the newsreel, to be ready before it happens, Universal Newspaper Newsreel is ready for the Russo-Japanese War, “Carl Laemmie has already directed its Managing Director to organ- ize units to accompany both the Japanese and Russian forces when the fighting *~-7ks out. “GOOD SHOWMANSHIP DEMANDS THAT THERE MUST BE A WAR BETWEEN JAPAN AND RUSSIA, Carl Laemmle cannot believe | that there can be a build-up for‘a war like this without something definite and exciting coming out of it. “Naturally, the newsreel plays no favorites.

The paper veritably bristles with struggle—struggle against the Roose- velt NR.A. code, which through the minimum wage joker, hag reduced the wages of skilled furniture workers in the South to 30 cents an hour and 34 cents in the Northern states. Activities and struggles which the| “aver reports extends to various sec- tions of the country. New York, Jamestown, Philadelphia, Lancaster, Chicago, New Orleans — all these | cities have witnessed militant strikes, most of them successful, led by the j union. And over in New Jersey, in Passaic and Newark, the union is rooting itself in 14 metal bed, mat-| tress and spring shops, preparing to take a crack at the blue buzzard In the fight against the Roose- | velt code the paper points out the concrete tasks confronting the locals: in the South the unions must carry on a@ campo against the differe tiation in wage scales set forth in the bosses’ furniture code; all local unions are to repudiate the whole Roosevelt code for both North and South and at the same time open a campaign for the adoption of the oust a | their places mil | workers. | The paper does not forget the fur- niture workers in Ca: ~ Tt links | up closely the struggles of the work- jers in the U.
