HOLLYWOOD CUT
TEMPORARY EXPEDIENT
ACCEPTED BY CONTRACT STARS
UNIONS REJECT PROPOSAL. By Telegraph—Press Assn.—Copyright. (Received 11, 10.30 a.m.) Hollywood (Calif.), March 10. Employees in the film industry were promised to-day by the Motion Picture Producers’ Association, that their acceptance of a 25 to 50 per cent, salary cut for eight weeks will in no way serve as a precedent for the fixing of Pay. The producers said that the proposed reduction was for only a short period and was brought about by the banking emergency. Acceptance of the reduction was necessary if the studios were to remain open, the producers said. The studios announced that 97 per cent, of the film stars holding contracts had accepted a 50 per cent, reduction. The members of five unions, however, rejected the cut.
