MOVIE OPERATORS TO BACK ACTORS’ STRIKE.

Chicago, Aug. 21.—Prospects of an early settlement of the actors’ strike faded still further today when the Billposters’ union, the Baggage and Parcel Delivery Drivers’ union and the Switchmen’s union joined in the sympathetic strike of musicians and stage hands. Officials of the Stage Employes’ union said that the International Union of Motion Picture Operators had voted to support the actors. They said that a message to this effect had been received from the headquarters in New York. A Delphi man, W. 8. Margowski, democrat, has been named as a member of the commission to select a site for the feeble-minded colony, recently appointed by Governor J. P. Goodrich. The commission is composed of four members, two of whom are democrats and two republicans. The creation of the commission was provided for by the 1919 legislature and $250,000 was appropriated for the purchase of at least 1,000 acres of land and the erection of buildings. The act provides that the colony be located in the southern part of the state. The other members of the commission are Charles A. MoGonagle, superintendent of the Indiana Boys’ school; Rep. Charles E. ToHdngton, superintendent' of the Indiana state farm, democrat, and J. E. Green, of Muncie, republican.—Monticello Herald.
