RAILROAD UNION FLAYS ROBIMSOH Urges Removal of Senator and Ralph Updike. By Times Special WASHINGTON, April 19. — "Labor,” the weekly national newspaper of the railroad brotherhoods, has taken two sizzling smashes at Senator Arthur R. Robinson, in his campaign for renomination and re-election. The paper, which is extremely influential among railroad workers and other organized labor, and has thousands of subscribers in Indiana, also recommends defeat for Representative Ralph E. Updike of Indianapolis. It recommends renomination and re-election of Represenatives Noble Johnson, Republican, Terre Haute, and the three Indiana Democrats in the House, A. H. Greenwood, Harry Canfield and Frank Garner. Its first wallop at Robinson was taken in its issue of a wees ago, in response to a query from Terre Haute. “We can say nothing good of Senator Robinson. He is a leader of the vile machine which has disgraced the Hoosier State and should be defeated,” the weekly said. It returned to the attack today in response to a query from Indianapolis on both Robinson and Updike. “Eoth men should be retired. Both are members of the discredited Indiana machine, and in Washington they have been the servants of “big business,” the newspaper stated. No advice has yet been given on Representative Rowbottom of Evansville and other House members.

12,850 Extras Crowd Hollywood; Movie Jobs Open for Only Half

How They Live Is Mystery; Pay Is Low, Work Only Part Time. This is the third of a series of twelve articles on movie-making from the inside. Tomorrow’s story will deal with preparation oi the sets and wardrobe. BY DAN THOMAS NEA Service Writer HOLLYWOOD. Cal., April 19. The biggest problem make-believe | village faces today is the care of its extras. Every train that arrives in the movie hamlet brings its cargo of movie-struck flappers, sheiks and even middle-aged men and women. All are lured by the desire for fame and riches. ) They have heard of the enormous salaries paid to film folk and have read stories of those who “rose to fame overnight.” And way down deep in his heart, each believes that he will be one of those “discoveries.” 12,850 Registered The truth is that Hollywood has far too many extras. The supply, in this case, is more than double the demand. There are today 12,850 extras registered with the Central Casting Bureau, the clearing house through which all extra talent is hired. And there are fully a thousand others here who are clamoring to get their names on the bureau’s lists. Statistics show that not more than a hundred in the whole colony of extras work on an average of four days a week or better. The rest work various lengths of time, many of them only a few days out of a month. And when they do'work, they earn only $5, $7.50 or $lO a day. Occasionally sls a day is paid, but those jobs are rare. How these people live has always been one of the mysteries of moviana. No More Extras Accepted All of the major studios do their hiring of extras through the Central Casting Bureau, established by the Will Hays organization for that purpose. A few of the minor independent studios engage their people directly, but they have work for only a very few. Therefore, those who are not registered have practically no chance of getting work. And the bureau is accepting no more registrations ■ in an effort to stop the flow of people into an already over-crowded village. Every person registered at the bureau is catalogued in a very elaborate system. Their complexion, color of their hair and eyes, height, weight, figure, legs, size of feet, age, nationality and experience are among the things listed. By its system, the bureau can se- | cure any type of person on an instant’s notice. If a casting director finds out

that he Is going to have a big Russian set, he advises the bureau that on a certain day he will want a mixed crowd of Russians. That’s the end of his worries. On the specified day the Russians report to tire studio. If a group of girls with pretty figures are desired for a bathing scene, they, too. are secured by the bureau. Or, it may be a hunchback that is wanted. Whatever type of person is wanted the procedure is the same. There are times when the casting director desires some particular person or group. In such instances he merely advises the bureau. The casting director never hires an extra directly —he always works through the bureau. Securing of the extras Is the final step in the casting oi a picture. At the same time this is being done, preparation also is going forward A Simple Application That Dissolves Blackheads No more squeezing and pinching to get rid of those ugly blockhead Bet a little - Caionite powder from any drug store, sprinkle a little on a hot. wet cloth, rail over the blackheads, and in two minutes every blackhead will be dissolved away entirely.

WIDOW TO PAY ARMRDE6TS Daughter Will Help Settle $25,000,000 Liability. B.y ( nih il Press CHICAGO, April 19.—The entire resources of the widow of J. Ogden Armour and her daughter, Mrs. Lolita Armour Mitchell, will be used to settle the debts of the late packer, estimated at $25,000,000, it was announced today. Ten million dollars of their personal fortunes and all marketable securities will be converted into cash to defray the outstanding accounts against the Armour estate. At the time of the packer’s death it was estimated that he owed Armour & Cos. approximately $lB,000,000 and an additional liability of payment of $7,000,000 worth of bonds of the Sutter Basin Company, was assumed. The widow and her daughter declare the Armour Company debt will be paid in full when the securities are sold, and that funds to refinance the Sutter Basin Company will be made available. At one time the Armour wealth was estimated at $l2O 000,000, but when he died in London last summer his fortune had dwindled away to the point that the estate was believed to have been insolvent. However, his holdings at that time were tied up in securities and other investments which now may be converted into cash. The announcement today was unusual, involving ns it does a stupendous financial attempt cl two women to reconstruct the icmnants of one of the largest fortunes in America.
