HOLLYWOOD STRIKE
6000 WORKERS IDLE
(Received May 4, 9 a.m.)
HOLLYWOOD, May 3,
The striking cinema workers have been increased to 6000 owing to the votes being taken by eleven unions and nine studios are now affected. The Actors' Guild met and voted to defer action in the strike for a week to permit the board of directors to confer with the producers and press the demands. Actors will be allowed to continue to penetrate the picket lines pending a report. It is likely that production will be virtually halted.
The new strikers include engineers, moulders, plumbers, costumers, machinists, boilermakers, and welders.
