There's one woman who

Sometimes there's something
besides money. This case

talk about il.
"A man came in," said Ryan,
"and told Madge Walker, Il

went on, "about what one of our

Antitrust Suit
Is Filed Against
'Petri||o Order
Justice Department
Complaint Charges
Music Monopoly

The Justice Department today
invoked the Federal antitrust
laws in an effort to outlaw the
order OF James c. Petrillo, presi-
dent Of the American Federation
Of Musicians, forbidding union
members to make phonograph
records for luke" boxes and ra-
dio stations.
A complaint, filed in the United
States District Court in Chicago.
charged that Mr.. Petrillo's order
Will eliminate competition between
music produced by mechanical
means and that produced by live
musicians and deprive the public
of inexpensive means of entertain
ment over the radio, in restaurants,
hotels and dance halls and in the
homes"
In Chicago, Judge Michael L. Igoe
directed Mr.. Petrillo and other de-
PENDANTS to come into court Friday
and show cause why the injunction
should not be issued.
The Petrillo decree, which affects
about 138, 900 musicians, became ef-
fective at midnight July 81. It re-
suited In protest by Elmer Davis,
director of the ONCE of War Infor-
nation, and Chairman James Law

cations Commission who said he
would investigate the matter.

Mr.. Petrillo estimated his ban on
Canned music" for public use would
affect 95 per cent of the music
heard in the United States and
Canada.
The complaint, filed by United
States Attorney J.. Albert Woll on
behalf of Attorney General Biddle
and Assistant Attorney General
Thurman Arnold, listed eight spe-
cific charges of attempted monopoly
in the music field. The AIM, Mr..
Petrillo and eight union officers
were named as defendants.
The charge alleged that the Pet
rillo order did not grow out of a
labor dispute but is being carried
out for the purpose Of eliminating
entirely from the market manufac-
ture, sale and use Of musical COM
positions mechanically recorded on
phunograph records and electrical
transcriptions."
The purported conspiracy, the
complaint alleged, was aimed not
only at eliminating recordings from
radio stations, juke boxes, hotels,
restaurants and dance halls, but at
the hiring OF unnecessary stand
by musicians " whose services
are neither necessary nor desired by
requiring radio networks to boycott
Af1iliated stations which refuse to
meet the defendants demands"
Musicians Displaced.
Mr.. Petrillo contends that SOC, 900
juke boxes in the country have dis
placed about 5000 musicians and
that some 500 broadcasting stations
which employ no musicians have
denied jobs to several thousands Of
others by using phonograph records
and transcriptions.

used canned music are getting rich
