Chicago film shows enter into injunction conflict
Chicago movie operators seek federal injunction to force film supply to independent theatres as a lockout by exhibitors and Film Board of Trade cripples industry. The dispute, rooted in a union strike and nonmember theatres, has left 25,000 workers unemployed and $100,000,000 in property tied up. The operators demand arbitration and say the Film Board violated federal law by withholding films.
