ARTISTS’ ORGANIZATION (Continued ‘from page 8) and settlement of grievances, and also with a view to discussing details of the proposed new equitable contract which the managers have signified their willingness to adopt. At this conference a committee was named to take up the matter of a contract, and within the next ten days it will submit for final approval the drafted document. As _ previously stated in The Billboard an agreement had already been reached by the vaudeville managers that they would meet with the members of the new organjzation to treat all grievances that may arise, and Thursday's conference was for the purpose of discussing just how these conferences would be arra > Following the conference with the performers the Vaudeville Managers’ Protective Association held a business meeting at which time there was presented a list of the performers who had sent membership applications for the new order. | Every week the managers will be furnished With a complete list of all members, and it does not take much figuring to agree that it will be policy for the managers to favor the members of the N. V, A. with booking, as they will know where these artists stand, and know that in case of any dissension the controversy can and will easily be settled by arbitration. The heads of the National Vaudeville Artists, Inc., are going to profit by the experiences of j previous associations organized for q day and | then allowed to lapse into oblivion through lack | ' of interest. Already several thousand applications for membership have been received and a | large force of clerks is at work sending out the | necessary blanks and receiving initiation fees ; and dues, | By the latter part of the week it is expected the formal call for the first annual meeting, at ae the organization will be made permanent, ‘sete issued ‘ACTORS’ EQUITY MEMBERS FAVOR | ALLIANCE WITH FED. OF LABOR (Continued from page 3) Nash, David Warfield. A resolution was unani| mously adopted increasing the number of council men from twenty-one to thirty-six, the remaining fifteen to be named as soon as possible. Between five and six hundred members attended the meeting, which was marked by great enthusiasm, Approximately 800 votes were received in advance of the meeting by mail, and out of the total there were but thirteen of the members who voted against affiliating with organized labor. The election today was held in the Hotel Astor, and immediately afterwards q meeting of the officers was held in Equity headquarters, Longacre Building, for the purpose of ratifying the election. The decision to affiliate with the American Federation of Labor by no means indicates that the Actors’ Equity Association will become a part or branch of the White Rats Actors’ Union. The question of just how the association will affiliate with the A. F. of L. will now be determined by the councilmen, It is pretty safe to assume, however, that it will be under a separate and distinct charter, and that the Equity Association will in no wise become subservient to the White Rats’ organization. Harry Mountford, executive secretary of the Rats, has announced that he would strongly oppose giving the Actors’ Equity Association a separate charter, with equal rights, but The Billboard learns from pretty reliable authority that such action will result. Few, if any, of the A. E. A. are in sympathy with the plan to become a part of the White Rats, and it is believed that the council of the association will act for the best rests of the order in its evinced intention become affiliated with the American Federation of Labor.
