HOLLYWOOD, Nov. 24.-Motion
picture producers and representa-
tives of the A. F. L.-affliated Con-
ference of Studio Workers met late
today for showdown on the unions
demand for 10 per cent salary in
creases for $4,000 workers in the
film industry.
Union spokesmen said they were
confident the raise would be granted,
but that if it were not the strike
ultimatum given by William j.
Bioff, chairman of the conference,
last week would be invoked.
The ultimatum set today as the
deadline for a strike if the producers
did not accede to the unions de-
mand.
A strike would involve, in addition
to those seeking pay increases, 12,-
600 technicians affiliated with the
International Alliance of Theatrical
Stage Employees. who already have
been granted increases.
Bioff's attorney, George M. Bres-
lin, announced meanwhile the union
leader would surrender to a tele-
graphic warrant received by local
police from Cook County, Ill, for
his arrest on 17-year-old charge of
pandering.
'This appears to be prear-
ranged scheme to prevent Bioff from
representing his group at the con-
ference with the producers" Breslin
said.
"But we are going to be ready with
writ and Biof is going to attend
