A, the benefit Of the doubt and set these statements to the account of the chronic malcontents, It is interesting to note that at the Federal Trade Commission’s hearings a clause in the clubhouse lease was read, which provided that “the clubhouse is not to be used for political meetings, labor union meetings (1) or for the maintenance of a publie nuisance’. Reason No. 7—“It’s your New York office’ To a certain extent, yes. You can get your mail there, use the stationery in the writing room, employ the public stenographers, telephone, etc. teason No, 8—“‘It's your New York home"’. Yes, if you hire a room. Reason No, 9—‘‘It's your playground”. No comment. Reason No, 10—‘Becanse all the really big people in vaudeville, professionals and laymen, are members of the N. V. A., associations are valuable to you'’. Also no comment. In short, to call a spade a spade, the N. V. A. is a company union. It was formed so that the vaudeville artistes could be herded into an organization under the control of the vaudeville managers, The N. V. A. is a lightning rod down which the collective strength of the vaude. ville actor runs harmlessly into the ground. Arbitration The N. V. A. provides an arbitration committee which settles grievances between actors and also between theaters and actors. ‘This committee at the present time consists of Pat Casey, executive secretary of the V. M. P. A.; Henry Chestertield, secretary of the N. V. A., thru appointment by the V. M. P. A., and a Mr. Lee, an assistant of Mr. Casey, also an uppointee of the V, M. P. A. Disputes between actors which do not directly involve the management are usually settled by decision of Mr. Chesterfield alone. The personnel of this committee ts sufficient to indicate what chance an actor has in @ case brought by him against a house manager or by a house manager against him.
