Mr. Petrillo minced no words in detailing his position,
"We're not going to make any transcriptions at any cost or at any price", Mr. Petrillo said. "I told the comoanies, *We're not going to make transcriptions for you at all any more because you haven't anything we want.'
"The guy really getting rich it isn't the transcription company is the radio station using the transcriptions and he's the guy we can't reach.
"The transcription people tell us that their gross busi¬ ness is $4,000,000, that they pay musicians $1,100,000 and that their net is $250,000, The companies can't give up anything. If they gave us their entire gross it's still small peanuts to the federation, "
