Employers Petrillo Holds Up Are No Match For Him
( "Washington Post"7~
As we nave said before, Mr. Petrillo is not an isolated example of a labor leader wno believes his Highest duty to his union is to create jobs for its members. He is, however, unexcelled in tne effrontery with which he proclaims nis belief in the doctrine, regardless of tne damage done by his obstructive tactics. Once again he makes it clear that any invention, however beneficent, that tnreatens to deprive a single one of his musicians of a job will be suppressed if he can compass its destruction. "As television grows", he says, "the musician is going to grow with it, or we are not go¬ ing to assist its development. "
Flushed witn victory as he is after negotiating a highly advantageous contract with motion picture producers, it is not to be expected that Mr. Petrillo will be abashed by public criticism or intimidated by the restrictive and highly punitive legislation enacted by Congress to curb his activities. For the truth is that he is following a policy that pays if the policy-maker can get away witn it. The union leader who succeeds in making jobs for his fol¬ lowers gains their allegiance; the only way to overcome him is to fight his proposals. The employers whom he has held up repeatedly, with rare success, are no match for him.
The particularistic law aimed at Mr. Petrillo, as we said at the time, is a bad one, and is, moreover, open to attack on con¬ stitutional grounds. Until public opinion is roused to resist antisocial labor union practices wherever found and express its determination to extirpate them legally and forcibly if necessary, we might as well resign ourselves to the dictatorial rule of labor leaders of Mr. Petrillo* s kind.
Em i l.y Post on Radio
T"Life ", May 6)
Mrs. Emily Post has ten radios in her apartment, includ¬ ing a red enameled one in the bathroom and a mirrored one on her dining-room table. She used to have a successful program of her own but has given it up because she refuses to be sponsored by anytiling pertaining to the boudoir or bathroom. Mrs. Post has radio in her blood, however. "After eight years of it I would rather broadcast than eat", sue says wistfully.
In addition to listening to the radio, she follows news¬ paper columnists assiduously. She once wrote Westbrook Pegler, "Dear Mr. Pegler: I just love you", and received the reply, "Dear Mrs. Post: I love you, too", but has not carried the thing any further.
