WHITE RATS IN LIME FOR ANOTHER STRIKE Hurry Mountford RpcaUod to Take Charge of Campaign Apninst Agents. WILL FORCE AN ISSUE The Whit Hals Actor Union, with s. membership of 2,000 actors. Is nhout to revlv Its old rimralm nenltmt the van (levltle honking agencies. Hnrry Mount ford, who conducted a campalun for the Hata In 1900, which resulted In a gen eral strike of vaudeville actors In Greater New York, hat been relnatated In Ml oid position of orfanlier. Acmrrlin to Jnnl Mi'CVe a nut. a , . ,r,IIB,u "i MPS t-iuo, ine new campaitn is aimed at more than 200 "small time' vaudeville managers, who. It Is alleged, have been cancelling acta wholsesale and throwlne actors out of work without no tice. There la no controversy with the 1'nltetl Hooking- Offices or with Marcus I. new The fight concerns only the minor a art: c Ira who control theatres playing pictures and vaudeville. In such num- that their actions have severelv af- reeled the members of the White sHats. The trouble came to a climax this week and It waa decided to plsce Mount rort In . harse of another campalun Kvvr since Mountford waa forced to resign as business manager of the White llats four yearr ago, through pressure brought to besr by Important vaude- vllle Interests, the feud between the organisation and the managers hao alum be red. "ur campalun this time,'' Mr. ntcCfse told a HrN reporter yesterdsy, "will have none of the unpleasant festures ejeMen characterised other controversies There will be no mud slinging, and as far tl possible we shall try and keep out the coiris. "For a long time we have had to stand for conditions which were absolutely un fair to the vaudeville actor. The tac tics practised by little houses supported by little agents have been such as to make it almost Imvossible for sn actor to be sure of hie job for more than a lay at a stretch. We are determined to remedy the situation. We have no differences with ihe big time' men. but if it comes to a ahowdown with these little fellows we'll forbid our members working for them In other words, a strike may be called, although nothing Ui proMrtion to those of former years." At a special meeting next Tuesidsy night Mr. Mountford will outline a plan to Increase the membership of the club, and also will present a plan to obtain Justice from the managers. Frank Fog arty, present head of the organisation: Junle Mcf'ree. Fred Nlblo Alf f.rant and ieorge E. Delmore will be other speak ers.

The testimony of K. K. Albee, geneial ' booking agent of the United Hooking ititflces. consumed most of yesterday's j session.

"Is that stipulated In the contract?" asked .ludge Hand. "Yes," replied the witness. "It is mu tually agreed between the actors and the company that such a provision Is for the best interests of all concerned " Albee, who Is one of the defendants, made emphatic denial of the allegation that performers who played In Independ ent the.itres or booked through independ ent agencies were blacklisted.
