time and one-half for overtime above
eight hours daily and 40 hours week.

they sought to examine company books

"By more or less concealed methods
they penetrated the various agencies
of education and public opinion, in
cluding the public schools, colleges

courses of study. and the thought OF

American people, for such it was, was
finally and fully exposed by an eX'

Musicians Chief
Turns On Accusers
Petrillo Tells Solons He's
More Sinned Against
Than Shining

Washington, d. C.-James c. Pet
rillo. president of the American Fed
GRAFTON of Musicians, who has been
bounded by the press and radio, and
by Thurman Arnold, Assistant Attor-
ney General, turned the guns on his
accusers this week.
Petrillo has been under fire since
last August when, on instructions OF
his union, he ordered all members t.
stop playing for ''juke boxes and re-
cordings until companies making
canned music" agreed TO Il plan TO
stop the wholesale slaughter of the
jobs of live musicians.
In the interval, he has been pictured
as "A ruthless car, houting the inter
ests of the American people Arnold
has tried desperately, but without sue
cess so far to indict Petrillo as Il viO-
lator of the Sherman Antitrust Act.
Stampeded Congress
Arnold led the smear of Petrillo
and almost stampeded Congress to
crack down. on the Musicians chief.
However, this week PetrillO got his
first chance to tell his side Of the
story before the Senate Interstate
Commerce Committee.
He made so impressive a showing
that when he mad finished the members
of the committee admitted they had
been misled, and that they now have
an entirely different slant.
In fact, the Senators decided to haul
the representatives of the corporations
which PetrillO had been fighting-the
record makers, radio broadcasters, and
.julle box agnates-before the com
mittee.
Demands Full Exposure
Before we get through, we are go
ing to have complete exposure OF
this recDrd-making business" declared

Petrillo declared his union would
lift its ban, even without winning the
obHctives of its battle, if President
Roosevelt should so order.

that we should stop the ban and con
