PUDDING PAYS $110 FOR FOUR-FOOT SCENERY SHIFT

With the return of the Pudding Show to the Cambridge stage, an example of Union dictatorship that has threatened to undermine the financial resources of the production was revealed yesterday.

The transportation of stage properties to New York was effected through the medium of privately engaged lorries in the service of the Club. Within four feet of its destination, the Mecca Temple, the van was stopped by members of the Stage Hands Union, and upon the protest of this latter group appealing to the regulations necessitating union labor, the properties were removed from the van.

Reloading the union truck, the properties were conveyed the remaining four feet to the stage door, and there deposited. This unusual circumstance found its conclusion in a bill for $110, subsequently presented to the Club.
