THEATRE CASE
BEFORE COURT
Injunction on Boycott
Petition Granted
by Judge

Russell Henreci and Sol Burka,
representing the Hippodroms
Amusement company, through their
counsel, Attorney Ward Lanham,
presented a petition before Judge
W. S. Meredith in circuit court,
seeking an injunction against
Frank Shears, Carl Kerns and
Charles White, members Of the In
ternational Alliance OF Theatre
Employees, alleging that the defend.
ants since their discharge as stage
hands at the, Hippodrome about two
weeks ago have been conducting a
boycott against the institution
through picket system maintained
in tho vicinity OF the theatre. An
injunction restraining the defendS
ants from further participation in
such action was granted by Judge
Meredith. Attorney Curt Amos rep
resented the defendants, and 1t is
thought that a petition to dissolve
the injunction will be filed soon.
About two weeks ago, the defend
ants, in accordance with alleged
terms OF contract between the
Hippodrome owners and the Inter
national Alliance OF Theatre EN-
.ployes regarding the number Of
stage hands required when a show
ran over a certain psrIod of time In
presentation, demand Re ScsSTf

fendants in the injunction case TO.
day struck and were dismissed from
the service Of the theatre
1t Is alleged that since that time,
the defendants have conducted n
boycott against the amusement
house and have stopped prospective
patrons near the theatre and urged
them not to enter the playhouse as
II was non union in character, and
that by other methods OF intimida-
tion they have caused an erroneous
impression to be broadcasted in the
city concerning the Hippodrom
Amusement company
Russell Henrecl and Sol BurEa,
plaintiffs In the action today, en-.
phatically deny that the Hippodrome
theatre Is non.union in character
and point out that union musicians
are in the pit.
There has been much local inter.
est in the development at the Hip.
podrome since the three stage
hands, named as defendants today,
left the service Of the theatre.
Whether the defendants will at once
take action to have the injunction
handed down this morning dis
solved could not be learned this
afternoon, but such action is anticI
pated.
