i- Film Sludio Strike ; Now In Fourth Day t • Threats Hurled By Rival Union Heads i- ’’ ! Hollywood. Mar. 15. — tUPi —< ' I 19,000 man movie strike went inlc j its fourth day today with the mak 1 j ers of celluloid drama hoping i * wouldn’t spoil tonight’s siar-stndJ 1 ed academy award presentations. Whether the conference of Studit j union would carry its feud to the annual blow-out was almost as bi: ' a headache as was movie-makinj ! without set crews. Nobody knew . whether the gaudy Chinese theatei , would be picketed. Most studios were striigglins along with workers from the inter national alliance of theaterica ■ stage employes, rivals of the paint ers union in their bitter feud over representation of 78 set dressers. Tlie working force increased last night when 1,700 alliance technicians. who had respected the picket i line for three days, decided to go back to work. The technicians, who develop *h<? film, called the painters’ union walkout a “wildcat" strike” that had “nothing to do with wages, hours, or any local union cause.’ The rival union leaders fumed , ami threatened. I IATSE president Richard Walsh dumped hi* battle with the conference of studio unions, to which the painters belong, in the producers’ laps yesterday. If. he threatened, the studios recognized the painters as bargaining agents for the set tlressetw, the IATSE would go on a bigger strike than the CSV over dreamed of. “And what’s more." he said, "we ll take every movie theater in the country with us." Walsh said his men were stepping in to fill holes left by the strikers because they “wanted to see pictures produced.” "But." he warned, “if tlie producers t ecognize onr rivals we II go on strike al! over. And when our projectionists go witit us that means every movie house showing west coast film* will dose down." CSV chief Herbert Sorrell dared him to try it. "He’d smash his IATSE into kingdom come," he declared. "It would be a typical Willie BioffGeorge Browne tactic." Bioff and Browne, former IATSE leaders, served penitentiary sentences for extort ion. month. In its report the recommendations of the two senators who held hearings in Indianapolis last year were set forth. They included; l ( Overhauling the Indiana registration and election laws so ’hat future elections will not be carried on in the extreme partisan manner now permitted. 2. Final determination by the state whether the affidavit or the certificate or error is the proper means of enabling a qualified voter to rote in case his name is not on registration rolls.
