Of MArCMh The following letter is sent as a reply from the standpoint of the projecâ€" tors‘ union concerned:â€" To the Editor of The Advance, Timmins. Dear Sir:â€"Permit us through the cclumns of your valuable publication to present the truth to the theatreâ€"going public, and refute most of the stateâ€" ments made by Mr. Mascioli as quoted in vour issue of March 19th. It is true that we distributed handâ€" bills throughout the town and again we repsat our warning of safety to the theatreâ€"going public, emcrhasizing the danger of one man having to do two men‘s work which is contrary to the Ontario Government Cinematographs Act. The various theatres which we declared unfair to organized labour may be under control of two different comâ€" panies, but, let it be clearly understood, that one president governs both synâ€" dicates and negotiations have heretoâ€" fore always been conducted with Mr. Mascioli, who is the president. The general public were not aware of the Northern Theatres, Limited, being separate concern from the Timmins Theatres, Limited, until the controversy arase. The Northern Theatres, Limitâ€" ed, claim to have had a contract with the Union for the Empire theatre of New Liskeard. This statement is not owin true. Differert union officials apâ€" proached the one prresident of the theaâ€" tre companies on more than one ocâ€" casion with regards to having the conâ€" tracks signed, but the nearest they could come to securing the contract was a hurried exit from the places of conâ€" versation. A contract for the Goldâ€" fields theatre at Timmins was secured a year ago where two experienced unâ€" ion men were employed, and the start of the existing controversy began when the president of the company interâ€" viewed the oldsst union man at the Goldfields and asked him to withdraw from the union. This member reâ€" plying in the negative, that he would not, was instantly dismissed, without the due notice of two weeks which the contract clearly states both parties must adhere to, or in default must forâ€" feit the wages for two weeks. This clause was not objected to by the union, in order to avoid unnecessary Arguâ€". ments with the president, and with the hope of coming to terms in view of this member being so unjustly discharged. The president then ordered the reâ€" maining theatres locked up. On Tuesâ€" day afternoon, March 3rd, this procedâ€" ure was carried out at both theatres in ‘Timmins and the one in Ansonville, also the one at New Liskeard. Purther, in the article mentioned, it was stated that these theatres were the finest in !the North and were built according to Government regulations. True enough, the theatres are beautiful, but let it be remembered that before a theatre can be opened it must comply to the regulaâ€" ticns and be approved by the Ontario Government before a license can be granted. This subject is not for us to bring up for public criticism, but we maintain and will impress that the heart of all theatres is the "Projection Booth," where, in the hands of our exâ€" projectionists, lies the amuseâ€" ment and safety of the public. Furâ€" ther, the advanced stages of our craft with the additional equipment for sound pictures requires more care and time of the projectionist, and while in operâ€" ation the equipment does require two experienced men, and if these theatres wish to continue the practice of one man doing the work of two, again we say the safeguard of the public is greatly endangered. The president of these companies states he was not alâ€" lowed to call a meeting of the directors. The rresident did not consider one whole year ample time, so a few more days was granted. Let us point out here a few conditions which our men were compelled to work under at the Empire theatre in New Liskeard. Two union men were engaged tnere without a contract at a salary of $55.00 for the first man and $45.00 per week for the The Advance has received the folâ€" wing. letter for publication in conâ€" ction with the controversy between o Timmins theatres and the I. A. T. E. M. P. M. O., Local 634, Sudbury. h case as viewed by the Timmins heatres was presented in these ‘lumns in the issue of March 19th. he following letter is sent as a reply on the standpoint of the projecâ€" second. The higher paid man had to act in the capacity of manager, billâ€" poster, furnace tender, see that everyâ€" thing went all right, besides operating the machines. He has to be firstâ€" class electrician, a mechanic, a radioâ€" trician, or what have you, etc. This work requires about sixty hours per week cf cne man‘s time. The $45.00 per week man was then taken out to be used to better advantage at Timmins. He was reâ€"paced by an inexperienced n ‘assistant who received the large sum, of |$2.00 per week for 18 hours‘ work and Case at this time the first man‘s wage was cut down to $45.00 per week. This is putting the affair in very brief form sudbury, |and as mentioned previcusly they are i Conâ€" _|positive facts.

We thank you, Mr. Editor, for the space you have given us and appreciate the effort you have extended in order that our story may be told. I am, Local 634, Sudbury, Ont. dEditor‘s Noteâ€"Both jkides of the question have been given now at conâ€" siderable length. The public will be able to draw its own conclusions. It may be said however, that the original statement in The Advance does not apâ€" pear to need much reâ€"stating or amendâ€" ment. The trouble appeared to be cenâ€" tred more around Liskeard and Ansonâ€" ville theatres (owned by the Northern Theatres, Ltd.) rather than at Timmins theatres (owned by the Timmins Theaâ€" tres, Ltd.). One point of sprcial pubâ€" lic interest is the fact of safety. The letter from the union admits that the theatres are safe, and virtually suggests that the Government will not allow them to be otherwise. It seems to be admitted also that there were two operâ€" ators at the Timmins theatres, and that there are still two for each projection booth, thus assuring safety to the pubâ€" lic. The present operators at Timmins are members of the Canadian Indeâ€" pendent Projectionists Unin â€"Editor The Advance) Mrs. McCendie Honoured on her 74th Birthday On Tuesday afternoon at the home of Mrs. Lyman McFadden, 9 Tamarack street, a very pleasant afterncon was spent when a number of ladies surprisâ€" ed her mother, Mrs. McCendie, on the cczcasion of her 74th birthday. A very pleasant afternoon was spent with music and singing. Then a@a dainty lunch was served, after which the guest of honour, Mrs. McCendle, received a number of gifts, including a beautiâ€" ful bouquet of flowers presented by litâ€" tle Edith Golding, while there was also a regular shower of good wishes for many happy returns of the day.

Radio tock a prominent ;Nace this year in the celebration of the 175thy anniversary of the birth of Mozart. One of the most interesting broadcasts went out from Salzburg, where Mozart was born, and includéd one of his youthful compositions, "Ave Verum," played on his own pianoforte. The whole of Europe united in homage to the genius who as a child sat in the laps of empresses and charmed kings with his brilliant music, only to die at Mozart‘s "Magic Flute" Over Radio on Sunday the age of 35 in destitution and to be buried in a pauper‘s grave that has never been found. "The Magic Flute," the enchanting cpera of Mozart‘s last year, fell flat on its first performance but afterwards earned fabulous rewards, though never a farthing for the unfortunate comp)sâ€" er. Sunday afterncon, the Toronto Symphony Orchestra, broadcast Over the Canadian National Railways‘ transâ€" continental network, will pay its tribute by performing the overture to "The Magic Flute". The occasion will be of particular interest to cne member of the orchestra, the violaâ€"player and librarian, Louis Waizman, who was born in the same house where Mozart first saw the light, Waizman‘s father, like Mozart‘s was organist in Salzburg cathedral. On Sunday afternoon, the orchestra will also play Suite: G Minor, Bachâ€"Reger, and Smetana‘s symphonic co>m, ‘"Vitava." Harry L. Walker, Secretary and Treasurer of
