HOLLYWOOD, Nov. 26 (U. P.). —Hollywood, city of never-ceasing wonders, now presents the strippicket. . Greta Roan, Austrian actress, disgruntled because her small part in a new movie was eliminated in the final production, began picketing Universal studio. But this, she announced, was to be no commonplace picket.
She, said she would vemove a garment a day until the producers agreed to replace e scenes in which she appeared. She marched yesterday fully clothed. Today, she promised, she would remove the blouse; tomorrow the skirt, “and so on.” “It is the only protest a weak woman could make,” she explained.

A. F. L. COUNCIL POWER LIMITED §
THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES
Can’t Punish Unions-Except For Dual Activity; Perkins Asks Peace Effort.
NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 26 (U. P).| —American Federation of Labor convention delegates today stripped | the executive council of power to
punish unions, except for dual activity, and approved a report demanding that the labor movement be “kept clean.” The . demand that Federation! unions be “kept clean” came in the, final report of the committee on the | executive council's reports and paved the way toward considera-| tion, possibly later today, of the anti-racketeering resolution. | Swinging into high gear, the con- | vention roared its approval of the first proposal to come from the resolutions committee which called | on the Government to set the pace! for higher wages during the na-| tional defense emergency. The measure recommended that A. F. of L. leaders confer with Gov-| ernment officials to have set aside a schedule of wages fixed by the, naval wage review board for skilled! workers in navy yards,
Perkins Urges Peace Try
John P. Frey, head of the Metal Trades Department, assured the] convention that the fight would be, carried to President Roosevelt, if necessary. Labor Secretary Frances Perkins earlier told the convention delegates! that labor’s advanced position under! the New Deal imposed upon labor a responsibility to make “a sincere] and conscientious effort” to end the
‘thwart influences from dishonest | or subversive sources” within the labor movement. Invited to address an A. F. of L.| convention for the first time since] 1936, Miss Perkins,said in a speech prepared for delivery that “seven| vears under the administration of Franklin D. Roosevelt have helped | things a good deal in this country.” “Labor has status today as never before, and that status carries with | it responsibility, responsibility to wage earners and responsibility to! all the people of the United States,” she said.
Calls for Vigilance
“The responsibility calls for vigil- | ance in the maintenance of high) standards so as to thwart influences from dishonest or subversive sources attempting to establish themselves within the labor movement. “That responsbility calls for co-' operation by labor with employers and with all responsible groups to avoid delays and interruptions—to increase production and efficiency, and to preserve and promote human welfare and labor stanghhas at the same time in the defeflse program which we as a nation have under taken.” In the months ahead, Miss Per-|
T0 RESIGN SOON,
WASHINGTON, Nov. 26 (U. P.).—| Informed labor men doubted today | that. Secretary of Labor Frances Perkins would serve through President Roosevelt's third term but be- | lieved that her resignation awaits| effectuation of a working agreement | {between the American Federation | of Labor and the Congress of In-| dustrial Organizations. | In New Orleans Miss Perkins,| when told of reports she might be given a top job in the social security setup, shrugged her shoulders and said: “I have no immediate plans to] leave the Cabinet.” Labor leaders said that the Roosevelt Administration had given |
(up hope—at least temporarily—for er
lany immediate structural merger of! the A. F. of L. and C. I. O. They believed Administration ef-
kins added, the nation’s wage earn-, ers, employers and all other groups! must co-operate “as never before! {in the interest of the national well-! {being and in the interest of nation- | al defense.”
Confident of A. F. of L. Help |
She declared that she was con-| fident that the A. F. of L. would do| {its part “unselfishly, unstintingly | and wholeheartedly” and that “the| wage earners of America will join| them and all other groups of our beloved country in an old fashioned |democratic American patriotic effort that we may be prepared to face the world with confidence, to plan and develop here a constantly better society in. the brotherhood of man until the “fatherhood of God becomes a daily reality.” Delegates sat long after the din- | hour yesterday to dispose of three controversial subjects: (1) the per capita assessment of one per cent; (2) salary increases for Presi- |
