short subject will have its 16mm
counterpart making it possible
for people in isolated communi-
ties or towns too small to sup
port a regular theater, to enjoy
pictures.
War Gives Impetus
The war has given tremendous
impetus to the improvement of
16mm projectors, sound and
films and today it has been
proved that narrow-gauge film
approaches 35mm quality when
projected before audiences of
less than 1000. A special ad-
vantage of this film lies in the
fact that it will make possible
the use of mobile protector units
which will take their cue from
the mobile units that have fol-
lowed the troops whenever they
have gone, into jungleS, desert
w tes and villages perched
amid mountain Businesses. BY
using mobile units no location
on the face of the earth is too
remote to be reached.
Supplements Systems
The new 16mm division will
not supplant, but rather supple
ment the existing international
film distribution set-up. A staff
of specialists trained in 16mm
operation has already been Gre
ated to develop this new narrow
gauge film market.

its controlling big business inter
est to test whether labor will
fight to keep gains achieved
Since 1888, many other unions
are giving active support to the
strike.
The strike was called March
IL, 1945, when 78 studio set dec
orators exercised their legal right
under the Wagner Act and cast
a solid majority vote to choose
the Screen Set Designers Local
1927 as their bargaining agent.
The producers refused to bar
gain, even though they had
previously established contract
with the decorators and after a
WLB decision had ordered them
to bargain with Local 1927.
At this point the producers
called the reactionary leadership
of the International Alliance of
Theatrical Stage Employees into
the picture, and then raised the
loud cry of "jurisdictional dis
pute." 1t was clever trick, con-
Susing a lot of people both in
And out of the labor movement.
The IATSE, with its smelly
Bioff- Browne tradition of lead
ership, responded to the call of
the studio bosses. The producers
flooded the nation with plaintive
cries that they were caught in
the middle" the innocent victims
of another iurisditional beef.
Studio workers either struck
or were locked out by the thou
sands. AS the situation devel-
oped, the alliance between the
producers and the IATSE grew
bolder. Phony charters were
given by Dick Walsh, IATSE
leader, to scab organizations TAX
ing the jobs of AFL workers.
The AFL Executive Council in
Chicago ordered Walsh to revoke
those scab charters. So far he
I mas not done so.
In the meantime the strike is
attaining a real impack on the
entire American labor move
ment, as unions everywhere rec
ognize more and more clearly
that this seemingly small labor
dispute in Hollywood is a chal-
lenge from big business to the
democratic bargaining rights of
all organized labor.
Members of unions not in
volved in the strike are appear
ing in masses on studio and the
atre picket lines, Thousands of
CIO members have joined the
AFL picket lines to defend la
bor's basic gains.
