HOLLYWOOD STRIKE
TROUBLE OVER SOUND MEN
JURISDICTION OF UNIONS
(Received July 26, 2 p.m.)
HOLLYWOOD, July 25.
Tho motion picture studios endeavoured to maintain production on Tuesday as five thousand more technicians struck. The' union workers left their jobs, so the spokesmen said, because the studios on Monday hired non-union men to replace 665 sound technicians who struck on Saturday. Tho producers attributed tho trouble to an argument between two unions as to which had jurisdiction over the sound men. The sound men's organisation announced that tho studio musicians might strike by virtue of their trade agreements with the International Alliance of Theatrical and Stage Employees.
A complete tie-up of production would affect, it is estimated, 2?,000 to 30,000 persons gaining a livelihood in Hollywood.
