HOUSE TO CONSIDER BILL TO CURB PETRILLO FEB. 22
Following the usual Washington Birthday eulogies, the House is scheduled Friday, February 22nd, to take up the bill design¬ ed to curb the practice of James C. Petrillo’s American Federation of Musicians of charging broadcasting stations and other concerns for time when members of his union do not work.
The bill was offered by Representative Clarence F. Lea (D), of California, Chairman of the House Interstate Commerce Com¬ mittee, which approved it by a vote of 14 to 5. Representative Vito Marcantonio (ALP), New York, was one of those who voted against reporting out the measure.
Representative Clarence J. Brown ( R) , of Ohio, said that Mr. Petrillo in declining to testify at the hearings had virtually told the Lea Committee to "go ahead and do whatever you want to do".
The bill would impose a $1,000 fine or a year’s imprison¬ ment, or both, on anyone who "by express or implied threat of the use of force, violence, intimidation or duress" tried to make broad¬ casting companies hire musicians if they did not want them. Another purpose of the measure is to outlaw efforts to bar the broadcasts of educational or foreign broadcasts.
