UNIONTSTS SEEK
INJUNCTION IN
MOVIE LOCKOUT

CHICAGO, Aug. 81 (P)-The movie
theatre lockout on it's third day spread
to additional picture houses as ma
chine operators prepared to seek an
injunction against distributors who re-
fuse to supply films.
A fifteen cent house, the only one
that has been open in the downtown
district, and two chains of neighbor-
hood theatres operating the first two
days of the lockout, were dark today.
The exhibitors association claimed
all theatres in the Chicago district
were closed. Union leaders said this
was an eXaggeration.
Machine operators, whose difference
with the Orpheum circuit, precipitated
the crisis, will test the film denial de-
cree in the state courts, according to
Thomas F. Maloy, business manager
They hope to force the exchanges to
supply films to independent houses.
The distributors say they rely on
strike clause in their contracts to pro-
tect them.
G. C. Pettijohn, general counsel for
the film exhibitors and producers Or
ganization, of which Will Hays is the
head, arriving here today from Cali
fornia on his way to New York, de-
cided to regain a few days. The sit
uation, he said, appeared serious, and
he declared he hoped to prevent the
Chicago film board of trade from
making any mistakes" The film
BOARD stopped distribution.
