JACK JOHNSON.

[By Electric Telegraph—Copyright). [United Press Association.] (Received 10.35 a.m.) London, August 21. The Executive Committee of the Variety Artists’ Federation has strongly protested against the tendency of music halls to engage people of unsavoury notoriety from the law courts and elsewhere, and adds: “Jack Johnson’s engagement is a question of decency. We deeply regret that time did not allow ol drastic action. The music halls employing Johnson have offered to cancel or postpone the contracts of artists not wishing to appear on the same programme as Johnson.”
