ELECTRICIANS WAR
ON MOVIES WORK
Disagreement Over "Talk'
les" installation -- May
Spread From New York.
Nv the Associated Press.

~ the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, August disagree
ment between two unions as TO which
nhould have the work OF installing talk
ing movie equipment In theaters has
halted work here and in several other
cities Motion picture companies fear
that hundreds of theaterS throughout
the country may be affected.
When most of the large movie COM
panies recently got together on the
use OF q single sound reproduction de-
vice for use in all their films, tnStalla-
tion OF necessary theater equipment was
begun at once. The Western Electric
CO. said today that some 400 theaterS
already have been equipped fully for
che "taikies" and that the company
has orders for equipping 500 more.
Done by Building Electrician.
The installation work, which takes
about two weeks for one theater, was
being done by electricians of the build
ing trades union. A protest now has
been made. however. by the stage elec-
tricians, on the ground that because
the equipment is being put in theaters,
II falls within their preserve.
Both unions are members of the
American Federation of Labor and
n1pNle EleIl bcitSFC dliAe uAkiCSS tlhns
body adjudicates the quarrel quickly
stage electricians everywhere may make
ike demands and installation work will
be held up in all the 900 theaters
awaiting equipment.
Held Inter Union Affair.
Leaders OF the unions could not be
reached today to comment on the diff
ferences or to predict how long tie-up
seemed likely, or how likely 1t was to
spread.
The Western Electric Co. preferred
not to issue any statement on the
ground that the trouble. while affecting
Il. vas entirely an inter-union affair
and must be settled between the
unions.
