Local Stage Union and "If" Company Argue on Wages
Application for Injunction Against Organization of Workmen Is Filed
"Application for an injunction against the local organization of the Lawrence Stage hands Union has been filed," said Robert贝利, publicity agent for the Kansas Players. This action is the result of differences in the matter of salaries and numbers of stage hands to be used in the production of "HI" which is to be given out to maintenances and evening performances today.
Wages May Be Raised.
The Kansas Players offerl to engage four men at the wages of $8 a day. This is in accordance with the laws of the union.
Because the players appeared in four performances at the Shubert theater in Kansas City, Mo, the Lawrence stage hands have placed the company in the status of a traveling company. This fact would force Professor Craftson's group to engage three men at $17.50 a day and four at $8 a day to handle the situation. To comply with this demand, the stage hands threatened to impede or completely stop the matinee and evening performances. The injunction was filed to prevent such an action.
The Kansas Players are not legally bound to hire the professional stage hands, was the opinion of Richard B. Hale, a lawyer for the Kansas company.
