Poe, Elizabeth | May 5, 1956 issue

add to cart   close window

For the first time in his career as a union leader, James Caesar Petrillo, who for many years has been calling the tune for the members of the American Federation of Musicians, has a serious revolt on his hands. The rebels are the 2,000 members of Local 47, who make the music for 97 per cent of the movies and for much Hollywood produced TV shows. Already the local has voted out of office its pro-Petrillo president, John te Groen, and his colleague, recording secretary Maury Paul. The oustings have been challenged as illegal by Petnillo and the matter may soon be going to the courts.
