is expected to present a particularly knotty problem for NRA officials, as any business flying a Blue Eagle is assumed to have subscribed to a code of fair practices with respect to labor. Such matters probably will be settled by NRA local representatives, instead of being carried to Washington.
A. F. of L. CONVENTION TO SETTLE STUDIO FIGHT
'T'HE West Coast fight between the '■ I. A. and I. B. E. W, has been "settled" through the medium of referring the matter to the forthcoming A. F. of L. Convention. The "settlement' provided for the immediate rehiring of all strikers pending ruling on the jurisdictional dispute — ^that is, "when a vacancy occurs." The effect of this latter phrase is to keep in the studios the men who displaced I. A. workers, because the studio has absolute control over the "occurrence of vacancies." Some of the West Coast I. A. men solved the problem presented by this ruling by immediately affiliating with the I. B. E. W. and thus becoming the holders of two cards.
I. A. officials present in Washington when the decision of the Labor Board was announced protested vigorously and immediately started to prepare for the impending battle on the floor of the A. F. of L. Convention, While it is an open secret that the A. F. of L. has not settled decisively any jurisdictional dispute submitted to it within the past 20 years, it is felt that the I. B. E. W. will force the issue this time, culminating its efforts of many years to wrest motion picture work from the I. A. Those who know intimately the workings of the A. F. of L. inner circle are convinced that the least the I. B. E. W. can get out of the fight is a "gift" of studio work. Theatre maintenance work, already handled by I. B. E. W. in certain cities, and projection room operation are considered as certain to be retained by the I. A.
No Unity on Coast
It is understood that the I. A. has already circularized every I. A. Local with a full report of the developments in the case, with which is tied up an appeal for hard work by every I. A. local in lining up votes for the impending convention fight. The action of the I. B. E. W. in seeking to wrest amusement field work from the I. A. is characterized in the circular as an unprecedented "double-cross" by a sister international. The language throughout the statement referring to the I. B. E. W. is unusually strong.
One of the most interesting sidelights to the whole affair is the lack of unity and cohesion displayed by the West Coast I. A. units. Wholesale desertions of I. A. Locals by their members are known to have occurred, with the pro
