Says Strike Will Last
Until Workers Win
By the Associated Press.

~ sAS AsooSistS2 EAG1ss
HOLLYWOOD, Mar. 14.-Holly-
woods studio strike will be con-
tinued until it is won, Herbert K.
Sorrell, president Of the Conference
of Studio Workers, said today, de-
spite its characterization as "un-
authorized" by L. P. Lindelon,
general president Of the Interna-
tional Painters, Decorators and
|Paperhangers Of America.
Mr.. Sorrell said the AFL studio
union workers would not return to
their jobs, regardless of Mr.. Lindel-
offs instruction for them to do so.
THE international urged us to go
back to work when we were on
strike in 1887" Mr.. Sorrell pointed
out, "but we stayed out and won
the strike. That's what we are
going to do this time. We cooper
ate with the international, but this
strike will have to be won and
we're going to win It,"
Nations Theaters Threatened.
The already serious strike had
mushroomed today into threat
that could lead to the shutdown
of thousands of the Nations movie
theaters.
AS the controversy went into its
third day, Richard A. Walsh, presi-
dent of the powerful International
Alliance Of Theatrical Stage En-
ployes, sounded this warning in a
message to his unions, which include
motion picture projectionists, ma
chinists and stagehands:
Stand by for an order to stop
handling or exhibiting any motion
pictures made by any West Coast
producer"
Mr.. Walsh added further confu-
sion to complex situation-one
that has brought idleness to more
than 1900 film employees and
gradual production showdown Of the
industry's film fare.
Producers Make No Comment.
Reactions by the producers was
not Immediately forthcoming.
Hope was expressed that . COM
mittee from the screen directors,
writer's and actors guilds, formed to
propose peace terms to the two en-
battled unions and producers, might
achieve a truce pending final settle
ment by the National Labor Rela-
tionS Board.
The studio conference group ap-
parently was gaining headway as
additional organizations pledged
support, including 2,600 AFL car
penters who are not allied with the
conference.

American And National
Mines Take Field Again

NEW YORK, June 26.-WD-
Major League baseball teams, as
rested as anyone can be after two
days of wartime travel, were
scheduled to take field Wednesday
to begin what may be a decisive
week Of the pennant races.
The American League teams are
in the West and the National
League mines in the East. That
puts the pressure squarely on the
reputed sore spots Of two Of the
leading contenders - Brooklyn in
the National League and New York
in the American.
Manager Joe McCarthy's YAM
KEGS are not good road club. Nc
Carthy denies this but the record
speaks louder than Marse Joe -
Six losses in nine road games the
first time around. Another bounc-
ing around like that and the Yam
KEGS won't care if the Office of
Defense Transportation doesn't
allow World Series.
The Detroit Tigers, who lead the
league by little more than game
now, can forge into decisive mar
gin if the Yanks falter and if they
themselves do little winning. The
latter possibility is almost proba-
bility, since Hank Greenberg is
scheduled to return to tine lineup
Sunday, and Pitcher Al Benton
may be back by then, too. Green
berg may not be exactly the hitter
he was when he went into the
Army, but then the pitching he
will face is not exactly the Grade
A stuff that he once treated so dis
respectfully.
Brooklyn, with a surprisingly
fat cushion in the National League
race but a slim reserve of pitching
to keep that lead, must face the
Chicago Cubs and Pittsburgh Pr
ates during the next week at Eb-
bets Field.
Brooklyn can hit The Dodgers
have scored Al runs in winning
four of their last five games. They
needed that many runs to win
since the Brooklyn pitchers were
battling few of the opposition hit
tiers. The general feeling is thai
Dem Buns cannot take suct
liberties with the western teams.

game. A National League contest
