PetriIlo Is
The Winner

CHICAGO, Jan. 21 (LPA)
--Labor-haters started trum-
peting their anti-union tunes
all over again when Federal
Judge Walter j. LaBuy re-
fused last week to find James
c. Petrillo, president of the
Musicians-AFL, guilty of vlo-
lating the lynch Petrillo law
otherwise known as the Lea
Act.
That's the act which Congress
passed at the last session 10
curb the Musicians leader. A
mone other things, it forbids
the union from using coercion
or any "other means" to induce
broadcasting stations to hlre
more musicians than they think
they need.
First attempt to use the law
came when Petrillo called a
strike of union members at
Station WAAF in Chicago be-
cause of refusal of the manage
ment to add three more musi-
clans. which would bring It's
musical staff up to the standard
level for Chicago stations OF
that size.
The Justice Department
brought proceedings against
PetriIlo. In the first trial OF the
case, Judge LaBuy held the act
to be unconstitutional, but on
appeal the Supreme Court over
ruled him and ordered the case
back for trial on its merits.
Court Acquits PetrillO
This time, Judge LaBuX de
cided there was not merit to
the case and acquitted Petrillo
He said the evidence did moi
sustain charges that Petrillc
was trying to impose feather
bedding" on the station, anc
furthermore he held that Pc
trillo did mot use force, viol
ence, intimidation or duress."
Since this was criminal pro
ceeding, under which Petrillt
could have been jailed if foune
guilty, the government coulc
not appeal the decision.
Daniel D. CARMEL, attorney
for Petrillo, hailed the ruling
declaring that it means "th'
Lea Act is dead"
Hartley Gets Going
Meanwhile, in Washington
Rep. Fred Hartley, Jr., anti
labor Republican Congressman
from New Jersey, fumed ovei
the decision, and insisted tina
new legislation be passed t
"curb Petrillo."
Hartley started a new set o
hearings at which broadcaster
were given a field day to air al
sorts of charges against Petrillo
He made it clear that the aim o
his hearings is to lay tn
groundwork for Legislation
which would extend the anti
trust laws to the Musicians Un
ion and all other labor organi
cations.
His efforts, Petrillo told re
porters, are aimed at a wage in
crease for radio musicians, an,
at persuading the radio station
to hire "a few more men," TIL
Musicians leader is also conf
dent of reaching "some kind o
deal" for FM and televisiol
employment of musicians, bu
is not willing to involve tn
network negotiations with dis
cussion of the unions ban o
recordings.

Both issues must be settled with
in so days.
Final settlement of the record
breaking strike was accomplish
ed principally through the L-M-C
which entered the dispute five
weeks ago after state officials
had failed to make any progress
in bringing the two sides into
agreement.
The stoppage began March %,
1947 when an industry-wide
strike was called by the union
in the three plants of the Pure
Oil Co. located at Smiths Bluff
Texas; Cabin Creek, w. Va. and
Toledo. The two strikes outside
of Toledo were settled last sum
mer after a 22-cents an hour
wage boost had been granted
The Toledo workers were given
an additional scents an hour
increase in lieu of back pay.
Calls Contract Good
Roy Freeman, international
union representative expressed
the opinion that the new con
tract was "as good as, if not
better than, any ever signed by
the Oil Workers Union"

FTC Opens
Steel Probe

WASHINGTON, Jan. Il
.IPA)-The demand for steel
continued to rise last week
as the Federal Trade Com
mission opened hearings on
its charges that the American
Iron and Steel Institute and lOl
steel producers conspired to TX
prices and restrain competition.
The opening assertion of the
ETC was that refusal of the
steel companies to sell fob at
the plant has resulted in buyers
distant from. the stel mills be-
ing unable to secure steel.
Reports from Pittsburgh last
week showed that many Gus
toners ordered as much steel
as possible whether they can
get it or not, because they fear
ed the results of an ALLEGATION
plan on an industry-wide basis.
In the Detroit area many buy
ers absorbed as much as $5.4O
a ton in freight costs in order
to remain competitive.
Producers Cut Quota
At the same time, producers
of sheet and bar steel actually
cut their quotas for the first
quarter of 1948. The building
Industry revealed that even al
the current rate of construction
their steel needs would go ur
1870 this year.
The Iron and Steel Institute
has announced in its annual re-
port that the nations steel in
Idustry increased its productive
capacity in 1947 by 100000
tons. They plan to increase i
only 100000 more tons in the
next two years.
In Britain, Sir Stafford
Cripps, Chancellor of the Elk
chequer, disclosed plans to GU
shipbuilding 20% because o
the steel shortage there. Fac
tory and government building
will get a two-third reduction
in steel supplies and the gas in
dustry will also be cut.
