The strike was not set: tled in Queen's Park, he claimed. Used Remote Control Martin invited Premier Hepbugn to return to his farm, "whore his activi tles can harm nothing more than an onion." "The strike was not settled at Queen's Park," Thompson told some 2,000 automobile workers. "It was settled at Grand Boulevard and Woodward Avenue, Detroit, between a forelgn corporation and "foreign agitators." gt : Martin conferred there with Gen- eral Motors Corporation, and we used 'remote control' from Washington while the conference was under way in Toronto," the C.I.O. man claimed. Martin claimed he knew in advance what the terms of settlement would be. He knew "what the terms of the agreement would be before the ne- gotlating committeo knew them," he told the rally. Not only. would the 300 'feeder plants" be organized, but the C.1.O. would extend its activities to other factories as well, he said. "We are starting immediately on tho organi. zation of all workers in all feeder plants, There wil. be more than 300 of these organized, however, We are not going to limit our activities to those supplying General Motors." Charges Attempted Bribe Martin declared that a man "who claimed to represent General Motois Corporation attempted to brite" him in Dectroit while Oshawa strike no- gotiations were under way, -- "He offered me tho neat little sum of $560,000 if I'd do just as he wanted me to," Martin sald. "I sald to him and I say it again, if General Motors has anything to give away, let them give.it. to the workers." « Referring asain to the agreement reached, Martin declared: "We Lave no desire to see Premier Hepburn out of his place at Queen's Park. For a'l the things that Hep- burn has dene that ave worth while, I say we apnreciate them. "But if he is going to continue using his job to thwart the privileges and opportunities of the people, the best service he can render them is to farm where his activi- ties can harm nothing more than an onion. . . "The settlement is a complete vie- tory for the C.1.O. and provides you with advances in wages and improv- ed- working conditions. It was made by and for you as members of the United Automobile Workers of America. The U. A. W. A. would not stand in the way of you getting better hours and wages and so be- cause of the antipathy felt toward it, we moved a few miles out so that the agreement we had already set- tled upon could be signed."

NEW YORK, -- The gool old days™ when a leading man lorded it on a $100 a week and- players in minor parts did ¢hemselves well on $30 were recalled by Henry Hull as he rested from taking nightly shots at himself as the Crown Prince Rudolph fn "The ' Masque Kings." In those days a leading man was paid $100 a week and felt positively imperial on it, while today he worries along on $350," remarked the veteran actor. "Margaret Anglin, or Maude Adams or Ethel Bariymore, of course got atout $1,500 a week, while now it is a poor week for Helen Hayes when she doesn't net a bit more than $4,000." Hull's first encounter with an aud- fence was way back in 1911 {n Pitts. burgh when he appeared as a colored man in a play called "The Nigger." As a debut, the job was unique for it required him to go through the pro- cess of lynching -himaelf as well as playing the offstage parts of blood. hounds, horses, and mobs.. At that time, Hull continued, "the great bulk of your cast received on an average somewhere between $30 and $50 a week, and lived very well on {t. To- day there same players are recelving when they are cast at all, between $50 and $100, and | doubt if they can make out as well at that figure, He went on to compare the cost of taking a show on the road in those' days -- and now, when eight separ- ate unions had to be dealt with, The new setup has this advantage, however, Hull said, that it quickly kills. a doubtful pluy and disembar- rasses Broadway of a lot of bad shows, Rozd Change | Is Authorized Railway Board Approves Elimin- ating 3 Crossings or Trans- Canada OTTAWA, -- The Board of Rall way - Commissioners recently made public a judgment recommending that $01,470 be contributed to divert a sec tion of the Trans-Canada Highway beteen -Mantreal and Quebec 80 as to elfminate three dangerous level cros- sings and reduce traffic over seven of the others, The board's judgment was unani- mous on ll points.
