MOVIE STARS TALK ABOUT WAGE CUTS Some of Them Seem Disposed to Kecept Dictates™ Hollywood, Cal., June 25 (UP)— When the boss cuts wages there really isn't very much the hired help can do about it but let him, most of Hollywood’s movie stars de- cided today. Others declared they would rebel openly if the salary cuts of from 10 to 35 per cent announced by the motion picture producers associafion were put into effect. The rebels, however, were careful to specify that they wouldn't be quoted directly in anything they had to say about the producers’ ef- forts “to stabilize the motion picture industry."” Warner Brothers Act Warner Brothers today was the only company that had asked play- ers officlally to accept lower salar- ies. ‘At that,” Monte Blue, one of the Warner celebrities said, “it seemed like the only thing to do under the circumstances.” Stars of other companies, ap- proached in a United Press can- vass, sald they had not been asked to accept less money and that they did not expect to be. Billle Dove, Mary Astor, Richard Barthelmess and Milton Sills, all working under the banner of the First National, sald they had not been requested to agree to lower salaries. TFirst National officials said, however, that all .employes would be subject to a 10 per cent cut, effective June 27. John Gilbert, Greta Garbo, Nor- ma Shearer and Rene Adoree, Metro Goldwyn-Mayer luminaries, refused to be quoted. Arranging Conferences At the Paramount studio, where the contemplated 'salary cuts were first announced, it was sald confer- ences would be arranged next week with individual stars to discuss low- er wages. § Pola Negri, Clara Bow, Bebe Dan- fels and other high salaried players are under contract with the Para- mount organization. As far as the conferences go, Miss Daniels said. she wasn't “worrying about them.” The economy program, except at ‘Warner Brothers, so far has hit only the lesser employes of the studios. All directors, scenarlo writers, tech- nicians and publicists already have been given lower salary schedules at Mctro-Goldwyn-Mayer and Para mount.

Walter's fect, which have served him for many years, have gone back on him at Jagt~ employes. The questions discussed were requests of the men for in- creased wages and changes in the working conditions. The matters most strongly urged by the commit- tes were wages and the eight hour day for all employes. “The company told the commit- tee that the revenues of the com- | wear association that notwithstand- ing increased weight men were wearing lighter clothes and thereby | playing havoc with the wool busi- ness. New York—Albert Ritstein, Orth- odox Jew, has obtained an anull- ment of his marriage to Gertrude 1. Roge, Episcopalian, on the ground that she did not keep a pre- nuptial promise to embrace his re- ligion. They were married by a jus- tice of the peace. New York — Tea to reduce weight is to be sold at Newport, Southamp- ton and othar social centers under pany had fallen off over $100,000 for the first flve months this year as compared with the samgo period last year and that it does not want to ask for.an increase in fares unless absolutely necessary. “The trolleymen are now earning an average of 66¢c an hour, an aver- age weekly wage of $36.57 for men who work six days or less a week and $42.38 for men working seven days; while many whose rate is 69c per hour for regular time and $1.03% for overtime, earn as high as $50 & week. All trolleymen may take at least four days off duty each month. Due to steady work, trolley- men earn a higher yearly wage than worlkers in most of the skilled trades where layoffs are frequent, “The company was reluctant to es- tablish an eight hour day for all motormen, conductors and shop em. ployes, pointing out that in various factories the hours are 9 and 10 and that the men’s runs were now laid out in conference with the local committees representing the men on each division looking towards meet- ing the wishes of a large majority of the men. The company also be- lieves that the eight hour day would be unpopular with the employes as & whole as it would decrease their I wages from $4 to $9 a week. This is borne out by the fact that the oldest men in years of service with the company who have first choice of runs, generally choose the longer and better paying runs. “In an endeavor to meet the wish- es of the general committee urging the eight hour day for all employes, the company offered to allow the men on each division to choose whether or not they desired an eight and one-quarter hour day but finally agreed to make one-half of the runs on the entire system so they would not call for more than 8 1-4 hours’ work a day, although the company felt that the present system of ar- ranging runs, which has been in ef- jfect for some years, met with the approval of the employes. “The last arbitration held to settle i differences between the company and the men was in 1925. At this i time the board of arbitration found ithat the wage was a falr wage. 8ince that time due to a decrease in jthe cost of living and an increase | in wages, a cut of five cents an hour { would leave the men as well off as | was found to be just in the wage | rate confirmed by the board of ar- | bitration {n the winter of 1925 but the company oftered to allow the present wage scale to remain in ef- fect for another year. “The company has advised the committee that it is willing to ar- bitrate the matter of wages as it has done heretofore.” {DR.

Dorbuck did not reduce the speed of his car at the intersecting | streets, and he drove past several cars, the officer sald. Officer James Sullivan Bad complained of Dor- buck's speed to Officer Harper a number of times, the latter testified, and immediately Attorney Cabelus demanded to know why Officer Sul- livan was not in court to testify. “Do we have to take your word for it that he complained to you?” the at- torney acked, but Judge Hungerford remarked that the defense counsel had no right to question the state's reason for not bringing In the wit- ness. Denfes Having Argument Asked whether or not he ever had an argument with Dorbuck, Officer Harper replied negatively. He said he had asked him for his license and registration on one occasion and had warned him that he would arrest him it he did not discontinue his violations of the speed laws. On the night of the arrest, Dorbuck told the officer he was in a hurry to reach West Hartford town court, where he was to testify in a case. Called to the stand by his attor- ney, Dorbuck denfed that he was driving in excess of 22 miles an hour when the officer overtook him. He passed two cars but was not speed- ing and the reason he did not re- duce his speed as he passed street intersections was that he felt it un- necessary as he was not driving at a fast rate. Last Saturday night, he said, Officer Harper drove up to him and “sald: “Well, I hope you have not got your license and registration with you" and when he produced them the officer sald: “Well, I mig be & bloody redhead as you say 1 am, but I'm going to get you if it takes me all year.” After several witnesses had testi- |fled that Dorbuck was not driving { fast and one had corroborated Dor- ibuck’'s statement relative to Officer i Harper's alleged threat, Prosecuting Attorney Woods recalled Officer | Harper to the stand and asked him it there was any question about the speed. The officer replied that he had clocked him at 42 miles an) hour, and relative to the alleged threat to “get” the young man, he {had not°done more than to warn him that he would *“run him in" it he continued to drive fast. ‘Woids Praises Harper Prosccuting Attorney Woods told Judge Hungerford that Officer Har- per is one of the city's best motor- cycle officers and he always comes into court and tells a straightfor- | ward story. His truthfulness has never been questioned and in this case his testimony should be be- lleved. Attorney Cabelus, however, sald it does not surprise him to hear the prosecuting attorney make this characterization of the officer. That is to be expected, he sald, but according to several witnesses, the Seped lawa were not belig violatea when the arrest was made ana there is testimony that the officer, having a grievance, personal or otherwise, against Dorbuck, bided his time and brought him into court to “make trouble for him.” “It is no crime to pass two cars between the Suburban Filling sta- tion and Francis street,” the attor- ney declared. “Your Honor has done it, I have done it, and every automobile driver has done it Judge Hungerford, however, ob- served that Dorbuck admitted hav- ing been warned by Officer Harper more than once and he also ad- mitted that he did not reduce the speed of his car at street intersec- tions. “I wlill have to take the of- cer's word as to the speed of the car and find the man guilty of speeding,” he concluded. Frank Brzozowfski, aged 19, of 143 Belmont street, pleaded not guilty to the charge of speeding and guiity to | the charge of driving without an! operator’s license. Sergeant Feeney | testified that he followed a car| driven by Brzozowfski through Main street and over Broad street about 2 o’clock this morning. The speed wus about 40 miles an hour.

The sergeant charged Laskarzewskl with loaning his operator's license, Laskarzewski safd he did not know that the owner of the car had taken his coat, in the pocket of which was his operator's license.

Dr. John Roach Btraton. The Baptist minister charged by five deacons who resigned with ine troducing “pentecostalism,” or emoe tionalism, into the church told of his son’s ‘“‘dxperience” in reiterating his denial of the charges. A “marked change” in both the youth's spiritual attitude and physi- cal well being was noted by his parents after the ‘visitation,” Dr, Straton sald. The young man since has devoted himself more assiduouse ly to the Bible and no longer stute ters when he prays in public or at family prayer, the father added. The son was ordained last year as a Bap- tist minister by the father. “It was at & Monday night meet< ing of the young people's class and during the study period when this experience came to Warren,” Dr. Straton said. *“He was seemingly led of the Lord.” Dr. Straton said his son was kneel- ing at prayer with others when he *‘was overcome and fell to the floor.” His mother and 1 heard him singing in a most beautiful way while this power was upon him. “There was a rhythm to his sing- ing and it was very beautiful, though he was singing in an une known language.

The change that has come over him {8 over- whelmingly marked. Dr. Straton said- all night prayer meetings had been held at his church, due to the necessity of give ing his large congregation ample time to worship.
