PETRILLO BAN CREATES FEAR AT INTERLOCKEN MUSIC CAMP
The shadoe of James C. Petrillo, President of the American Federation of Labor Musicians, is again hanging over this Summer* s session of the National Music Camp at Interlochen, Mich., according to Norma Lee Browning, writing for the Chicago Tribune press ser¬ vice. The Camp's musicprograms were once an established network feature until they ran into Union difficulties.
Threats have been made of Union retaliation against non¬ union music teachers at the Camp, the Chicago Tribune writer said, resulting in many former members of the Camp's music faculty refus¬ ing to participate in this year’s functions because of fear that the Petrillo ban on such activities would result not only in loss of jobs but heavy Union fines as well if they were later to join the Union.
According to the writer, one symphony conductor in a West Coast city, who had signed a contract to teach at Interlochen this Summer broke the contract under the influence of Union pressure.
This man explained, according to the Tribune, that all Union members of his orchestra would be obliged to quit if he taught at Interloch¬ en and that he himself would be forced to pay a $1,000 fine if he ever applied for Union membership.
It was added that some "big name" guest conductors and symphony men who taught at the music camp until the Petrillo ban have arrived to spend the season in their own Summer homes near Interlochen but they are not permitted to attend the concerts.
The Chicago Tribune article was accompanied by a cartoon showing the familiar three figures of "The Spirit of *76" with a fourth figure added Petrillo marching alongside carrying an "Unfair" Union picket placard. The cartoon was captioned, "The Spirit of *46".
