THEATER BOYCOTT
ASKED IN STRIKE
Nationwide Picketing Is
Urged by Film Labor
Group.
8y the Associated Press.

~ tne Associated Press.
HOLLYWOOD, May e.-Strikine
motion picture craftsmen appealed
today for a Nationwide boycott and
plcketing Of movie theaters after re-
jecting a peace proposal that omitted
mention of the closed shop and union
recognition
Producers accepted uneQuivocally
the terms OF the peace plan, submitted
by the Los Angeles Central Labor
Council, American Federation of Labor
group, with which the striking crafts
men are affiliated. The proposal pro-
vided that:
l. All striking crafts return to work
Immediately without prejudice, and
2. Negotiations be conducted by rep
resentatives of each of the II striking
unions for esta tablishment of wage
scales and working conditions.
THE strike is still on" said Charles
Lessing. head of the Federated Motion
Picture Crafts, which called the walk
out.
mot Interested"
II am In no way interested in that
plan Of settlement. It's a closed shop,
signed, sealed and delivered, or we
don't go back to work..
Shortly afterward Lessing sent tele-
grams to general headquarters of the
Painters Union, requesting that pick
cts be stationed in front of movie
theaters throughout the Nation. He
also wired labor groups in all key
cities, asking for cooperation in movie
boycotting and picketing.
Speaking for the federated crafts,
Charles Kimberlin said the strikers
had received a commitment from a
powerful labor organization" which
he refused to name, Offering to picket
within SO hours every motion picture
theater in the United States"
Strikers, attending mass meeting
In Hollywood, were offered pickets
from the Los Angeles branch of the
Committee for Industrial Organiza-
tion. and from the International
Longshoremen's Association
In New York, William Green, presi-
dent of the American Federation Of
Labor, said he was not certain whether
he would support proposed boycott
OF motion pictures by organized labor
John Brophy, c. l. o. director in
Washington, asked the support of all
labor groups for the movie strikers.
Says Actors Not Needed.
Discussing reports that negotiations
between the producers and the power
ful Screen Actors Guild, which are
to be resumed tonight, had progressed
satisfactorily, Kimberlin said:
I'VE don't need the actors out on
strike to win our fight for union
recognition and closed shop. Natur-
ally, we'd like to have them with us,
but we are receiving financial support
from them, and I am sure we have
their moral support. If they win their
points in their disputes with the pro-
ducers, we'll still have their financial
support. If they lose them, We'll still
have their moral support and perhaps
their physical support"
The actors are seeking improved
studio conditions.

Meanwhile, independent steel pro-
ducers who refused to recognize the
steel workers Organizing Committee
faced blunt threat Of strikes in their
plants and coal mines
Philip Murray, lieutenant Of John
L. Lewis in the campaign to unionize
the country's steel workers, warned
the independents last night that the
union would call strike, if neces-
sary, to win agreements on wages,
hours and working conditions
The independents, he charged, have
formed an "unholy alliance" against
contracts with the committee and as
result would face a crisis in their
coal mines within 48 hours"
The committee, he reiterated for
the third time this week, would not
be responsible for keeping its men,
bers at work for independents who
decline to sign agreements.

with Alderman Charles P. Sciullo offering prompt seconds. On an immediately following motion TOT adoptlcn of the c0ntrollerS budget provisions as presented, Alderman Joseph wilhelm (R), likewise dropped in Fusion nominations, cast his vote with the Democrats.
 The appropriation for auditing city accounts, formerly appearing m the controllers estimates in bud- gets of the past years, in the l03S budget, is an item transferred to the mayors office. Alderman Kings ton pointed out that e5,00O more than necessary" for this expense was stipulated in the salary provis. ions of the budget as concerns the controllers office.
 Rowland Makes Demand
 Tn an aldermanic chamber crowd. cd with observers, in majority Ne- puhlicaYR, with the four Repuhli- ean aldermen -elect and their friends overseeing procedure, the board heard a bng demand by Controller. Elect Rowland for placement of e fund of 5000 in the 1888 controllers office appropriation to allow audit ing of all city departments since start of the Hayes regime.
 "Without wanting to bring in the name of a late, highly-respected city official (City Engineer Robert A. Cairns), would like to tell MT. Rowland that an undertaking ot this sort, going back over the ten- ure of the office in question some forty-odd years, would take about four years to accomplish" Alderman 0,lilfoile interposed before the mos ton for amendment about the auditing item was made by Alder- man Kingston.
 COP. Out In Force
 Meanwhile, Q stenographer seated with Alderman. Elect Thomas F Bane (R), was making hurried transcript of all the proceedings and the meeting took on aspect ot 0 Ee- publican rally. Beside Controller Elect Rowland sat his campaign chieftain, John J. Bergin, comforting | Wltn the SepupuChl icuoSA WiV "'~N rumored as mayoralty.bound dur' ing the October campaign.
 Seconded by Alderman 0. Arthur DuBois, Alderman wilhelm Suc' ceeded in passing e motion to have the opinion of Corporation Council Charles s. o'Connor, given the Board of Finance at a meeting yes- terdny afternoon, read into the record. The corporation counsel, in an opinion to Mayor Hayes, found that the mayor had the right to direct handling of the audiS (and matters of personnel in the con- troller's office. Sections Of the City Charter, as amended In 1881, to give the "strong mayor" aspect. were quoted in standardization of this ruling.
 Alderman Phillips Objects

to an affirmative in the matter ot the treasurer's appropriations, the office for which he was unSucceSs- full candidate last election.
 His principal objection was voiced to including s6O0,00O from sale oi funding bonds for redemption of outstanding issues, on the opinion that this item "also represents Q debt and the budget, by the charter, should be based on cash receipts.
 "I haven't seen the semi-annual audlts of the controller which the corporation counsel says the con. troller has submitted to the Board of Aldermen" Alderman Phillips re- marked. How about this2" he de- manded of City Clerk John P. Fitz- maurice.
 T don't recall just now, Francis, the harassed city clerk responded T don't recall the dates, but the copies are filed"
 Alderman duilfolle remarked that copies have been filed every slN months and Mir. Phillips countereo with: T haven't seen them In the minutes"
 Budget Is Approved
 The budget as finally approved with Alderman Phillips and William Kolbeck (R.), refusing to sign tho boards approval, although the lat ter had voted for it, shows esti' mated tax returns of $5,l77, 900, witt total appropriations Of $6,2107lI provided. The former item is based on anticipated returns from the 3l mill rate, one-half mill less than foi 1887, but the budget discounts thI return by 9260, 0,583, leaving $4,o07,4 ,4l' as the estimated tax return, Res. cources of $l,300,000 are anticipated from other sources, including thu S5o0,00O sale of funding bond item.
 The board passed the major por' ton of the budget, to wit, from tht Item of tax commissioners througf nearly forty pages of the printet estimates, by one motion, witf Aldermen Phillips and Kolbeck op' posing.
 Phillips Surprised Them
 On motion to set the tax rate d 3i mills, however, Alderman Phil' lips. when called to vote, remarked
 "I'm going to surprise you and vote Yes" and the rate Wa' adopted unanimously.
 What significance the Republican turnout may have in future political alignment of the board and the current court proceedings Of MT Rowland against the mayor to re- termine right of hiring and firing in the controllers office, was not explained by members of either party. While the Republican alder men .elect were invited" by the board to attend the latterly meet- ings, no mention was made of Q stenographer, even aS an aid In the study Of parliamentary procedure.

(Continued from Page D He was questioned by the deputy coroner during the inquest.
 Mauzerol, whose car was going 60 miles on hour at the time, "knew he had struck someone" says Deputy Coroner Smyth, and made no effort whatsoever to stop or ren- der assistance"
 Witnesses examined by MT. smyth were: Mauserol, Patrolmen Grady and Dwyer, Joseph Cronin 10 0ll East Main street, Francis Doran Of GAO East Mai4l street, Francis Qil- roy of { Spencer avenue, Evelyn Mauzerol of 3b6 West Main street, James Mcdee of 30 Willow street and Joseph Phelan of GAO East Main street.
 COrOner's Verdict
 Deputy Coroner Smith made tho following finding:
 On December 3, i037, at about i2ib o'clock in the morning, the deceased was crossing from tho Southerly to the northerly side Of East Main street at the interSec- ton Of William street and East Main street. At this time Edward Mauzerol, who was 0 properly Il" ccnsed operator Of motor vehicles, was driving his own i037 Terra- plane automobile easterly on East Main street. In the car with Mauzerol was James McQee, of 50 Willow street. Mau2erol had spent the evening in tho company of his sister, Evelyn, and then, with his sister, went to q tavern called the Farmers Home or Farmers Garden, on East Main street. While there they met Mcdee. Mauzerol had two glasses of beer at the tavern and the three rc- maincd there for about half an hour. They then went to the El- ton Hotel, Mauzerol driving the car. At the hotel 0 dance was in progress and they remained there for three or four dances. Mauzerol having c straight shot" and e bottle of beer to drink.
 Mauzerol and McGee then left the Elton to go back to Farmers Home to get Mcdte's car. which was parked in the immediate vi- clnity. Mauzerol was driving the car and while proceeding out East Main street was observed to be travelling at a rate of speed este mated to be 50 miles an hour. At the William street intersection Mrs. Ryan was struck by the fender and side of Mauzerol's car. The impact was heavy and Mo- Gee, riding with Mauzerol, told him to stop as he had hit some- one. This he failed to do but drove to where McGee's car was parked, let McGee out of his car and then drove back to the Wackie Grill, at 435 West Main street, where he is employed.
 There is no doubt about the fact that Mauzerol knew he had struck someone and that he made no effort whatsoever to to stop or render assistance.
 I find that the death of the said Mrs. Nellie Ryan was due to a fractured skull, a compound com minuted fracture of the left from tai region. internal injuries and a laceration of the brain, sustain ed in the manner heretofore described, and that said injuries and death were due to the crim- inal negligence of the said Ed- ward Mauzerol.
 In compliance with the statute have filed with the clerk of the superior court for New Haven county at Waterbury my report of the inquest together with the tes- timony taken.
 Dated at Waterbury. Connecti- cut. this l7th day 0f December. A. D., l03T.
