Chicago — Although threatening to quit work 400 operators in various moving picture theaters throughout the city are at work. They demanded a minimum wage scale of 90 cents an hour or would go on strike if this was not granted immediately. Judge Charles M. Foel, on motion of Lewis F. Jacobson, attorney for the Allied Amusements Association, granted a temporary injunction against the members of Local No. 110. requiring them to keen an agreement entered into last October, and which has four more years to run, while an investigation of their demands are being made. According to Attorney Jacobson the demands of the operators are excessive and would result in many theaters being compelled to close. j^/Cpo/j^ru^ The Average Exchange can incii the income on old pictures bv rehal tating it with a new lobby display Inrge percentage of the public has' •ten the average (food picture and new Lobby Display will Ket man,' return date.
