Lawrence Ignored by Play Companies During Union Ban
Manager of Local Theaters Refuses to Recognize Organized Labor Demand
"Richelieu," starring *Robert Mantell*, which was to have been presented at the Bowery theater week before last, did not appear because the management of the Lawrence theaters is not employing union labor, according to R. O. Baker, secretary of the local operator's union.
Baker, who will be graduated from the University this year, is in receipt of a letter from Herman Lewis, manager of the company, who states that the theatrereal company canceled its engagement in Lawrence because G. W. Dickenson, manager of the Bowiecker, Varity and Orpheum剧院, should request to employ only menion for the stage crew on the night of the showing here.
Local Union Out of Work
Mr. Lewis stated in this letter that a crew of green men which would have been used here would not be efficient in the handling of scenery and were liable to damage it. The crew was supposed to have substantially large amount of scenery and equipment, and the management of the company will permit only experienced stage hands to handle their equipment. Hence, "Brehlein" played Emperor instead of Lawnress, and a stage man with regard to Mr. Mantell was ill.
The local union has been out of employment since Nov. 8, 1924, according to Baker, and has only been employed by three members. There are 10 members in the organization. The union was formed for the purpose of contracting with the local theater management for all work activities as a unit instead of as an individual.
Productions Are Re-Routed
"Many of the leading play companies are kept from booking engagements in Lawrence because of the labor situation here," Mr. Pappas said, producing company owner most of their own crew which is a strictly union organization, and will refuse to show in a town where union employees are not used. That is the reason why several leading productions have already been routed from Lawrence to other cities.
"Even the musicians which a company carries with them will not play where union stage hands and operators are not employed. This fact was made apparent when the composer staged in Lawrence a short time ago. The orchestra which accompanied this play cast refused to play in the local theater because of the labor situation and it was necessary for the theater to furnish an orchestral of its own.
"We have been attempting to make a settlement with the management of the local theater for some time, but as the audience has grown more informed said Mr. Baker." "But there is one assurance, that the students and people of Lawrence will not have an opportunity to return," he said until union men have been re-employed in the local theater."

Right now we are anxious for each fraternity and security to turn in a glass of their heirmother. Also we would appreciate very much the time we spend with our bikes, stea kets and athletic events to bring them to the office to go in the humor section.
