Fiddlers Three
"[M ready to face the: music, and I don’t mean amateur or foreign music," said James Caesar Petrillo, referring to a fine of more than £300 or a year’s imprisonment for violation of the Lea ("anti-Petrillo"): Bill recently passed by the United States Congress. This Bill forbids any attempt to compel radio broadcasters to engage more people than they need, says Time. Petrillo claimed that the Chicago station WAAF, a onekilowatt independent station, should double its staff of three record librarians. When the station demurred Petrillo informed the three union members that they were thenceforth on strike. He told reporters: "If they don’t want three more men to take care of the discs, they can well afford to hire three more music-ians-an organist, a pianist and a violinist. . . . The Lea Bill was conceived in malice and anger resulting from one of the most expensive and bitter antiLabour propaganda campaigns in the country." He added that he would fight the Bill in the Supreme Court.
