THOMAS REJECTS | SUGGESTION FOR NEW EQUITY VOTE Proposes That Gillmore and He Adjust the Matter of Open Shop. Augustus Thomas replied last night to the open letter addressed to him yesterday by Frank Gillmore, Execu- tive Secretary of the Actors’ Equity Association, “The purpose of your letter Is the wish to avoid a conflict that seems possible,” sald Mr. Thomas, “when the contract between the Actors’ Equity Association and the Producing Managers’ Asac terminates In June, 1924. fhe itnstrv ent which you propose for evading this possible trouble is what you call equity shop and what the public calls closed shop and which you define as a condition in which ‘Equity members will not play with non-members.’ ‘I note that you ation propose now to put this question again to the vote of your membership upon the condi- tion that if a majority of your asso- ciation feel now as they did then ‘the managers will_accept the actors’ ver- dict without further cavid.’ “In' questions of right I am not especially, overborne by the presenta- tion of numbers, I have something simpler to offer. The Producing Managers’ Association numbers but fifty-three and the American Dra- ty numbers but few more, can quickly be reached. I st that we resubmit the question BugR to them and if they are still against {t, that the actors accept the decision without further cavil “In suppor your proposition you say ‘no one will deny, [ think, .t part of the art and industry of the theatre belongs by right to the actors.’ That position is so secure- ly taken that I haven't the slightest wish to question it, but I believe a great many will deny that all of the art of the theatre and the industry belongs to them. “Your proposal {s of sufficient im- portance to warrant calling a meeting of this organization have it fully discussed before to you, but as your letter is 4 ed to me, I feared that such delay. would indicate @ perplexity that as yet I do not feel. “I don't believe the public will favor the t control of the theatre, don’t believe that between parties to {ndividual contracts and the State which reviews them it will look with favor upon the interposition of a third organized irresponsible entity, how- ever benovelent, whether that ney- comer be labor union, a Masonic lodge, the Ku Kinx Klan, the Fidelity ie y Associa- tion. “T like the E applied to the stranded 1ity Shop where it is ‘bogus managers and companies! which you say ge one a week,’ and I like f xempts the ers’ Association from If your power, I these fitty- ‘still av {ts present Producing Ma the rigor of the Eq 4,000 members will Frank Gillmore, the believe I can persuade status 6 to three men to delegate to me an equal power, so that you and I can get to: gether long before 19: and xtend this contract profitably to every branch of this great art In which we are so mutually interested, “T have an idea that public opinion will almost demand something of that kind, men may mistrust me a Uttle bit at first because they will re- member that I have been a master workman of organized labor and that Tam a strong union man, Their con- fidence, if I can inspire {t, will come from the fact that I don’t believe in a federation to the degree in federation seems to be going." This ‘s Mr. Thomas's opinion, he cause I am retained hy g Managers’ éssocia- tion, which as yet I have not had time to consult,” but because he “believes” the Equity Association has as much to have and because against the Equi which he {s definitely closed shop for the Producing Man- agers’ Association In 1 ——_— FOUR SHOT FOR CONSPIRACY IN RUSSIA, MOSCOW, Aug. 16.—Four were sen- tenced to death and shot yesterday on charges of conspiring to smuggle church treasures out of the country and also of anti-Government activittes, Two of them were members of the Esthonian L here and the other two were Ru: one man and one woman 1 ‘THIS ENGLANDER COUCH BEL Spring and rene with, Matt Bed Spring and Mate: $19.75 uy $125 Up +6150 up +$31.60 up FOR TH HO!

RADIO ‘EXPORTS TOTAL MILLION AND HALF FOR SIX MONTHS. American radio apparatus 1s beginning to be exported fn bulk and in June of this year shipments amounting t over $500,000 represented the high tide of radlu export for several months, Ac- cording to experts of the Electrical Di- vision of the Department of Commerce radio Is only a part of the recent gains in electrical exportation, which for the month of June was two million dollars In excess of the figures for May, which was about $350,000, According to the shipping record of the Department of Commerce the radio apparatus shipped welghed something more than a million pounds, The boom of radio export started last february with the exportation of about $300,000 worth of goods, and has steadily Increased to {ts present position, WORLD TRADE NEWS BY RADIO. Since the recent decision of the De partment of Commerce at Washington to have foreign commercial data broad- casted from radio stations in the nelgh- borhood of its thirty-four district offices, schemes for the improvement of i this service, particularly in the saving of time, have been received from several sources. One of the re ugxestions is that radio receiving sets be installed at all the branch offices of the Depart- ment so that commercial data broad- casted from Government 5 ns in Washington and other important cen- ters may he recelved without delay and re-broadcasted locally. ‘The plan ts now being considered by the Bureau of For elgn end Domestic Commerce, and If a favorable report is made, the Depart- ment may be in the market for 34 A-B receiving sets. It 1s readily admitted by officials that much time would be saved in relaying the information from the Washington headquarters and get- ting a wide brondcast for the whole country, but fears are entertained that n appropriation for purchasing the re- ceiving sets might not meet with the proval of an economically inclined 5. A great mass of forelgn trade infor- mation {8 received by department daily and released to the press, but much of it fails to reagh all { sted parties. For this reason,"a scheme of forward ing it by wire to the thirty-four central and co-operative offices in different sec- tlons of the country for broadcasting has been undertaken, and {t is to im- prove this service that the use of radio for transmitting the data and news {s suggested, TYPEWRITING BY RADIO PER- FECTED. u of Standards recently ex- » experiments conducted by imores, Which {ndicate that erfected radio relay recorder away with code operators by es on a tape read visibly by now the naval have gone the print radio on a typewriter. igual [QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS. | f Billy: Vill an plece of galvanized fron wire 100 feet long be just as good for radio r as a plece of alur inum or cop; same af to have the above the pper wire Is aertal pu ,. the as an aerial for a short not to the be advantage. so that th inexperi aerial and bureau 0 messages autom: adio expert better—th The height depends entirely upon. thc location and the height of the sur- rounding objects, ‘The most advanta: ous place for the aerfal {s about twenty feet or more above all surrounding ob- Jects# well insulated and free from all shielding effects, Fan in Trouble—"'I have a detector and two-step outfit, but due to power | around me I have been unable the best results from the set which T know {t capable.
