Los Angeles, Calif., April 2, 1945. Producers Association,
Hollywood, Calif.: In answer to your wire of April 2, 1945, members of our union have refused to report to work since March 12. 1945, because the Producers Association refused to abide by decision of the War Labor Board. WLB has requested that you settle this strike before they will hear your appeal to change the decision rendered, which was made in our favor. As you know, this is not a jurisdictional strike and can be settled any time you decide to deal with us and do not hide behind Richard Walsh's empty threats. If it is your desire that we report for work April 4 you may have it that way, but if you still insist that you are in the middle and cannot settle this controversy, the strike will go on until you are
ready to deal with us.
Herbert K. Sorrell, President, Conference of Studio Unions.
