4« YASIETT BfUSIC-DANCE Wednesday, November 2, 1938 DECCAPICKErS DO THE SHAG United Electrical, Radio and Ma- chine Workers, an affiliate of the ClO, put a picket line in front of the offices and studios of the Decca Record Co. last week, after the Arm refused to recognize the union as the collective bargaining agency for the Decca staff. Strike was called while the union's application for au- thority over the workers in the plant was still to be acted upon by the National Labor Relations Board. Jack Kapp, Decca prez, stated yes- terday (Tuesday) that less than'50% of the cutting room staff was out on strike. Sttike made the dailies when four young couples sought to call atten- tion to the picketing line by shag- ging >nd doing the big ap^le on the sidewalk. A cop seipFtr^ted them and threatened arrests if the dancing was repeated. ■ Willistm Mitchell, international rep for the CIO union, contended ye-sterday ;that operations at Decca were practically at a standstill, since the teamsters' have, refused to de- liver or receive material. He said that Kapp precipitated , the strike ^ by^ firing a.man -in-the'sbipping room. New ' York musicians ■ imion,. in ; a statement^ expressed v its'^ • sympathy with the strikers but stated that it. coyJd not extend its fullest coopera- tion. Kapp denied the tieup claim.

MORE CHIZ BIZ Bookings Agents Want Publishers to Pay Line Costs Indie band booking agents have become the latest class to attempt horning themselves in on the ex- ploitation bankrolls of music pub- lishers. After landing a dine-and- dance spot these agents make the round of publishers asking whether they would be interested in under- writing the weekly cost of a net- work wire. Previous practice had been for the band leader himself to do the propositioning. New chiseling twist was brought sharply to the attention of the pub- lishing trade last week when one of the indie agents openly stated that unless lie could get some publishers to put up $160 a week for a wire a niterie that he had just tied up in upper New. York state would have to do without a network outlet. The place had been booked by one of the larger band organizations but as soon as it lost the connection out came the wire, which action is con- trary to the rules of the American Federation of Musicians.
