28 INTERNATIONAL PROJECTIONIST July-August 1933 plaintiflFs, the procedure was as follows: An application for membership, signed by the applicant, was filed with the Union. Subsequently "a permit man's agreement" was submitted to the applicant for signature at the time of the filing of the respective applications, and thereafter varying sums of money were paid by the applicant for which receipts were given by the Union from time to time. It is the claim of the defendants that in each instance of the sums so paid, $200.00 was retained by Local 306 as security to indemnify it in the event of any claims being made against it by theatre owners or others by reason of the negligence of such applicant during the course of his employment as a moving picture operator. The applicant was thereafter given a working permit, issued temporarily for a specific job only and revocable at any time without notice at the discretion of the proper officials of Local 306. This permit entitled the applicant to work in theatres under the jurisdiction of the Local. For that privilege, in accordance with the terms of the permit men's agreement, the applicant agreed to pay a certain percentage of his weekly wages to the Union. The Union admits that such payments were made but claims that no dues, assessments, sick fund and death benefit contributions were ever paid by these permit men as required to be paid by the regular members of Local 306. ^'^'^ men for whom employment was thus provided came to be known as "permit men", although no provision for such classification is to be found in the Constitution and By-Laws of Local 306 or the Constitution and ByLaws of the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees and Moving Picture Machine Operators of the United States and Canada. It is the contention of the defendants that the plaintiffs knew at all times their status to be that of permit men, that they did not enjoy the privileges accorded the regular members, and that th^-"/ were not entitled to membership in Local 306 until the requirements of its Constitution and By-Laws and the Constitution and By-Laws of the International Alliance were complied with. /. A. Membership Requirements The defendant Local 306 is an unincorporated association, composed of more than seven persons having its principal place of business in the Borough of Manhattan, City and State of New York. Admission to membership therein is governed by its Constitution and By-Laws and the Constitution and By-Laws of the International Alliance, of which it is a subordinate local. Briefly, the following requirements are necessary for membership in the Local: After an applicant has filed his application in the proper form with the proper authorities and has successfully passed the prescribed examination he may become a member only after (1) his application is approved by the General SecretaryTreasurer of the International Alliance; (2) he is voted upon at a meeting of the Union and receives a favorable vote of more than two-thirds of the members present; (3) "he is obligated as a member" — that is, takes Important New Books In The Field THEORY OF THERMIONIC VACUUM TUBES FUNDAMENTALS— AMPLIFIERSDETECTORS BY E. LEON CHAFFEE Professor of Physics, Harvard University A thorough and authoritative treatment of vacuum tube fundamentals containing: much new and hitherto unpublished material. It covers the foundation of the subject fully and should be of high reference value to engineers concerned with any branch of vacuum tube technique. 666 pages, 6x9, fully illustrated. ^6.00 RADIO ENGINEERING BY FREDERICK EMMONS TERMAN Associate Professor of Electrical Engineering, Stanford University Gives a comprehensive engineering treatment of the more important vacuum tube and radio phenomena. The first part is devoted to the theory of tuned circuits and the fundamentals properties of vacuum tubes and vacuum tube applications, in the light of their importance and interest to every electrical engineer. The latter part takes up more specialized radio topics, such as radio receivers and transmitters, wave propagation, antennas, and direction finding, as well as aids to navigation, radio measurements, and sound and sound equipment. 688 page, 6x9, 417 illustrations. ^5.00 RADIO ENGINEERING HANDBOOK Prepared by a staff of 22 specialists. KEITH HENNEY, Editor-in-Chief Associate Editor, Electronics This book makes available to the radio field an engineering handbook measuring up to all the standards of competent authorship, careful and thorough selection of material, and accuracy of presentation, to be found in other McGraw-Hill handbooks in various fields of engineering. Here is a fund of constantly needed reference material covering all fields of radio engineering, from fundamentals to latest practical applications. 583 pages, 4% x 7, 507 illustrations. ^5.00 THE PRINCIPLES OF OPTICS By Arthur C. Hardy, Associate Professor of Optics and Photography, and Fred H. Perrin, Instructor in Physics, Massachusetts Institute of Technology Combines the purely mathematical with the practical treatment of optics, and emphasizes the design of optical instruments. Designed chiefly as a college text book for students of physics, it can also be used as a reference work for specialists in the fields of illumination, optometry, motion pictures, television, etc. 600 pages, 6x9, illustrated. ^6.00 Order from INTERNATIONAL PROJECTIONIST 580 FIFTH AVENUE NEW YORK, N.
