NEW YORK. Aus- 22. With the re
turn to New York today of Samuel
Gompers. head of the American Fed
eiation of Labor, the real crisis is ex
poctcd in the actors' strike, which has
spread to the musicians and stage
hands and threatens to result in the
formation of a playwrights' union.
With approximately 12.0CO Kquity
artors on str'kc, nineteen theaters
and thror roof gardens closed here,
and Hght theaters "dark" in Chicago,
the prospppt of an early settlement of
tlio controversy is remote.
A complete deadlock between ac
tors and managers was maintained
throughout yesterday. At strike head
quarters the demand of Daniel Froh
man for mediation was scoffed at, and
it was said that with the return to
day of fJompcrs, the managers would
be forced to capitulate.
To Confer Tonlsht.
A conference between Equity heads
and the labor leader will be held this
evering and arrangements will be
completed to call out every scenic
artist in the State.
Jiibt as jubilant were the managers
ver the prospect o" Louis Mann hav
'Dg assumed the role of E. H. Sothern
in his efforts to settle the strike by
?
the formation of another actors' as- (
soclation in opposition to the Equity.1
Mr. Mann, who is confessedly with
the managers, announced yesterday
that George M. Coha-i nad handed him
a certified check for 5100,000 and
h ould hack the new organization to I
the limit.
Both Side Meet Today. j
A meeting to be held this afternoon
at 2 o'clock in the Hotel Biltmore
will formulate definite plans. Act
ing with Mr. Mann are Janet Beccher,
Fay Balnter, Olive Wyndham, Lowell
Sherman. Otis Skinner, Ina Claire.
Mrs. Flske, William Collier, Davjd
warnela, Henry W. Savage ana Allan
Dinchart.
At the same hour striking actors
will meet at the Lexington Theater.
Addresses will be made by Helen
Keller, Francis Wilson. Frank Gil
more, Paul Turner, W. B. Rubin,
Bruce McRae, Hugh Frayne. Joseph
Weber, Charles G. Shay, DeWolf Hop
per and James Baranciees.
Much interest was centered yester
day in the attempted formation of a
playwrights' union, it was handled
as the latest idea to germinate from
the actors' strike.
To Open With Movies.
While this conference was in prog
ress several managers announced
they would stand pat and that the
enormous losses they were sustaining
would be curbed next week when four
more Broadway playhouses would re
open their doors with moving picture
attractions.
"The Better "Ole" at the Booth The
ater closed last night, and the entire
cast joined the strikers. This made
the nineteenth theater to date.
A second playwrights' association is
in progress of formation. Channing
Pollock has been chosen chairman.
Eugene Walter said the only object
of this association will be to protect
its members In the conduct of their
business.
It was reported last night that the
third day's performance of the Ac
tors Kquity show at th Lei.lnjcton
Theater had netted Mo.000. Needy
actors will be able today to draw
money aa temporary, non-interest-bearlnp

SEIZURE of FOOD
in STORAGE
What Effect Will It Have NEXT Winter?
BEFORE embarking on what seems to be an
orgy of "storage food seizure," it is proper
that the public and officials look beyond the
immediate present!
Agents of the Government, attempting to quickly reduce living costs, are seizing stored food
stuffs in various sections of the country, and announcing their intention to force immediate
marketing of the food, some of which is in process of cure, the balance for use in winter or the
season of short production.
Foods That Are Stored
The Surplus Egg Production of March, April, May and June.
The Surplus Butter Product1" ' May, June and July.
The Surplus Beef from Rani, .tie as Marketed in the Fall.
The Surplus Pork Production .(Most of It To Be Cured.)
Unless the surplus of the season's production is available for gradual dis
tribution there is bound to be a scarcity.
The present movement may be likened to the
cutting down of a tree in order to obtain its fruit.
That is one way to get the fruit in a hurry, but
it has a disastrous effect upon next year's crop.
There can be no defense for the withholding of
food in order to increase the price. We do not
do this. The use of cold storage for speculation
deserves the severest condemnation, and every
good citizen will endorse common sense inspec
tion of food reserves.
A line must be drawn, however, between specu
lation and prudent laying away of food for the
season of non-productivity. If the course of un
checked seizure is pursued, it will mean shortage
next winter.
Most of the meat in storage is owned by firms
which perform a real function in the process of
distribution, and which have regular customers,
whose needs they supply. The success of these
firms depends largely on the ability of their man
agers to estimate market demands and to buy,
store and sell accordingly.
The fact that there is more food of various kinds
in storage at this time than was the case a year
ago is really beneficial when consideration is given
to the fact that 1 00,000,000 people in the U. S. A.
are to be supplied and foreign countries as well.
Our business experience for a period of years has
had to do with problems incident to the storage
of food and we believe that if food supplies now
in storage be prematurely forced on the market
HUNGER may join our ranks this winter.
