NEW YORK, August 16.—More than 700 managers, representing 1,000 thé- aters In the United States, ranging from motion picture houses to grand opera, met and organized the Thé- atrical Managers of America. Its an- nounced purpose is to strive for just and .equitable conditions in the in- dustry, for its economic advancement and for the elimination of certain abuses. Henry W. Savage, a New York producer, acted as temporary chairman. High labor costs were mentioned by the managers as one of the hin- drances to the success of road com- panies. It was said tha? carpenters, electricians and property men re- celve $62.50 a week, orchestra leaders $85 and musicians $70, while on:the road. The managers protested the ruling | of the unions, which, they said, de- manded a head for each department of theatrical labor, and virtuaily dou- bled the number of stage employes for road companies. Such a condi- tion, it was said, caused the with- drawal of scores of companies and the closing of many theaters in the smaller cities. — An appeal to the rafirosds for re- duced fares for membefs of the pr fession is under consideration by the convention, which- will adjourn next Saturday.

CHICAGO, ~August 16.—Charging that some 'steamship companies to- | day use bills of lading so phrased | &8 to make possible the avoidance of a shortage claim, which should be paid in full, Charles E. Herrick, chair- man of the traffic committee of the Institute of American Meat Packers, today submitted a formal protest to Secretary of Commerce Hoover. Mr. Herrick complained that the present lax provision -for adjusting claims encouraged the pilfering from the cargo, while shippers of perish- able commodities suffer a loss be- cause of the permission granted wa- | ter carriers to deviate from the scheduled voyage to such a wide ex- ent. Mr. Herrick’s letter gave an in- stance in which he asserted that| $4,600 worth of merchandise had been piifered from a $12,000 shipment, and asserted that “it seemed evident to the shipper that the vessel must be rationimg hs crew from the eargo.” Hé said the pilferage brought American exporters into disrepute with foreign buyers, and suggested that the abuses tould hardly be remedied without legislation.
