The Rainbow division in train-
ing at Camp Gruber has the as-
surance from Undersecretary of

the new Rainbow or 42nd divi-

said it will be soon.
Patterson spoke to men of the

Ward and company and the CIO

of contention can be settled ex-

maintenance of membership. He
asserts that union insistence up-
on such a clause a clause is the
only thing that stands in the
way of a contract.

Petrillo Defies WLB
Record Making Order
CHICAGO. (UP)—The presi-
dent of the American Federa-
tion of Musicians—James Petril-
lo—says his musicians will not
resume making commercial re-
cordings as ordered by the War
Labor Board yesterday.
Petrillo claims the WLB has
no jurisdiction in the 22-months-
old dispute because the musi-
cians are not part of a war in-
dustry.
The union demands that all
recording companies pay a fea
for every record made by the
musicians. The money would be
used in a union employment
fund. The WLB decision ordered
that machinery be set up for
the payment of some sort of
royalties. However, these royal-
ties would be placed in a special
fund outside union control. The
WLB order gives the recording
companies and the union 20 days
in which to agree on the amount
and method of the payments.
Petrillo says the union has 86
contracts containing its own
demands in the "canned music"
industry. The three contracts
lacking are those with the Na-
tional Broadcasting company,
the Columbia Recoi'ding corpora-
tion and the Victor division of
the Radio Corporation of Am-
erica.
Petrillo declares that, until
these three contracts have be"-i
signed, no member of the Am-
erican Federation of Musicians
will make any record for any |
company.
