”We are, in truth, helpless in this situation, in that it is one where we cannot bring the issue into the courts. We are faced with interference or stoppage of broadcasting by one union or the other, and until the courts decide the case, we will continue to be faced with this threat, '*
A. T. Powley, President of NABET, said:
"NABET will not capitulate. NABET will abide by the deci¬ sion of the NLRB and is ready to continue negotiations for new con¬ tracts with NBC and the Blue,
”We have acted in good faith and will not capitulate, Petrillo*s refusal to comply with the decision is an affront to the NLRB, This is not a jurisdictional dispute between two unions. The issue has been clearly defined and decided by the NLRB,
”The dispute is between the companies and the musicians.
If the musicians pull wildcat strikes, the companies should bring this to the attention of the War Labor Board and not be asking NABET to capitulate.
'’It is time for the networks to decide whether they should be dominated by Petrillo or conduct a business free from holdups,
"Should NABET capitulate, we would, in effect, be penaliz¬ ing every radio station in the country. In fact, we would be crucify¬ ing some small independent stations who play records all day.
"Faced with the prospe ct of paying $90 per week for a 25hour week, the small stations would be forced out of business,
"Radio, with the help of the technicians, made the name bands. By the same token radio can break them, NABET has stood alone in this fight for the past 10 months. We have conducted it in an nonest and straightforward way. Our only request is that justice be served, "
