Petrillo Prosecution Under Sea Act Begins
Washington reports Attorney General Tom Clark announced the filing of a criminal information against James C. Petrillo and his United Musician’s Union for coercive practices in radio broadcasting. The case cites the Lea Act, a federal law enacted April 1946, offering up to one year imprisonment and a $1000 fine for unions that force broadcasters to hire more staff than desired. Petrillo, head of the AFL American Federation of Musicians, challenged the act as unconstitutional and had called a May 28 strike at Chicago’s WAAF station to protest a librarian hire refusal.
