"SHOOT TO KILL"
ALLMAN'S ORDER
Chicago Police Head Deter
mined to Halt Bombing
of TheaterS.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, october 15.--An order to
''shoot to kill'. was issued by Police
Commissioner James p. Altman TO halt
theater bombings.
The bombers can't keep getting
away he said last night. I'VE expect
to kill few Of them IL they keep this
bombing up"
Altman acted in compliance with
Mayor Anton j. Cermak's insistence
that drastic measures be taken at
once.
Thirteen theaters have been bombed
over a period of two months during
which labor controversy has been
raging between the motion picture
Operators union and the hundred
theater owners who are members of the
Allied independent Motion Picture
TheaterS Association.
Four attempts to end the dispute
have failed. The theater owners have
refused to comply with the unions de-
mand that two operators per shift be
employed in each of the hundred out
lying houses scattered through Cook,
Dupage and Lake Counties. Owners
claimed the $500 to SITS per week sal
airy paid the extra operator represented
the difference between their operating
at profit or less.
Offer to Accept Cuts.
The union offered to accept salary
cuts to offset the owners loss, but the
association rejected this.
The first indication of trouble was
given August ?, when owners notified
Thomas E. Maloy, business agent of
the union. who was recently indicted
for conspiracy and graft, that they
would close their theaters August
unless he consented that they operate
with one projectionist a shift. Maloy
refused. The theaterS closed, and re-
manned dark until August %. when
100 operators. brought from New York
and other Eastern cities, were licensed
to operate here. During this licensing
Joseph Maloy. Thomas brother, was
ousted as head Of the Licensing Bureau.
Police guards were installed at each
theater, and injunctions were obtained
to prevent the local union operators
from picketing and canvaSsing. Mat
tiers appeared to be moving smoothly
until August %, when the Ray. Ridge
and Olympia Theaters were bombed.
Since then the imported operators
have said they were slugged and shot at
and stencil bombs have been set of in
many theaters-not always those in
volved in the controversy.
Owners Blame Union.
The twelfth bomb was exploded late
Monday at the Monroe Theater while
the show was in progress. The thir-
tenth was tossed yesterday morning at
the Easterly Theater.
When the bombings started. the Cwn-
ers blamed the union Maloy denied the
allegations and offered $4,000 reward
for capture of the bombers. He added
that the owners were having their own
theaters bombed to create sympathy.
Last night officials of the union offered
to post their unemployed members as
guards at theaters to help police guards
prevent further violence. They made
this proposition as police took James
Aducci and five others into custody for
questioning.
