Studio Picket Lines Smashed; 3OOArested

10 temporary restraining order signed late yesterday by Superior Judge Henry N. Willis limiting pick cts ct Paramount and RKo Studios to 22 each. About 50 of those ar- rested today were pickets who sat down and refused to hudge when police ordered them to disperse.
 The arrested pickets, laughing, booing and singing patriotic songs, were hauled away in police vans. Seven large buses. carrying workers, were driven into the Paramount lot almost immediately.
 At RKO more than 1000 Strik- CTS gathered in vacant lot across from the studio. Police quickly ar- rested 75 strikers, and about 50 other workers went through the picket line as rapidly as 1t was reduced to the legal number of pickets.
 The arrests came as film czar Eric Johnston at Cincinnati laid the film dispute before the Amer ican Federation of Labor Executive Council. The strike started eight months ago when AFL painters walked out in an effort to gain rec- ognitlon as bargaining agent for 7s set decorators.

 The immediate apparent apathy toward the forthcoming city elec- ton on the part of ,Waterbury's voters is better paraphrased, as to it's ultimate influence, by Shake spears King Lear when Burgundy Hsa:sr utters the phrase: Pardon me, but election makes not up on such con- ditions."
 We rather doubt (despite, the ardent claims of lovers of the Bard as to his precedence of things to coine) that he had in mind Water burys 1945 election when he wrote those words, but 1t must be ad- rnitted they are sufficient unto the day all things considered. For apathy in elections does not make for healthy elections-and certain ly not for practicable ones.
 Yet such an attitude concerns both political and. civic observers who hold that 1t does not speak well for the voting public on the prem ise that failure to vote because of indifference or disinterest is far from healthy democratic procedure. That this apathy is not pertinent just to this years election is of still more concern as review of the past four city election voting figures reveals 1t to. be on the increase.

Washington, Oct. 24-(UP)-Solid Fuels Administrator Harold L.. Ickes said today that there should be enough coal to go around this winter even though some consum- CTS may not be able to get their fa- vorite aShless, smokeleSs brand.
 Ickes' shin-war1ning reinsurance was included in an announcement that the Solid Fuels Administration was relaxing most of it's wartime controls over anthracite coal and coke shipments by producers, whole salers and retailers, effective Nov. l.
 He added, however, that the gov- ernment woul dretain its right to divert emergency shipments of an- thracite to critical areas if the need should arise. A few communities. principally in Rhode Island, still are rationing coal on a voluntary basis.

 Harry w. Anderson. General MoT tors vice president. said the coms pany would have no statement on the conferences progress fiftu nio unions brief had been heard. HoW~ ever, he said there was no basis for settlement for the wage issue so long as the union insisted on dis cussing profits as Q part of the wage question.

 Strike action is entirely lip to the union." he said. They are the claiming party and they have the power to call out the men"
