Petrillo's Progress
"[Mr. Petrillo is] a confused individual, drunk with power. He has delusions that he has more power than WLB, the courts and the Government itself. . . ."
Thus last week did angry Stanley Hubbard, boss of Minneapolis radio station KSTP, salute the latest impudence of cocky, stocky James Caesar Petrillo, boss of the American Federation of Musicians.
After a four-month contract dispute, Boss Petrillo had just pulled his musicians out of KSTP. He had done this despite a temporary injunction specifically forbidding him to do it.
Minneapolis Judge W. W. Bardwell, who thought that by issuing the injunction he had averted a strike threat, was as angry as Mr. Hubbard. He promptly is sued a warrant for Boss Petrillo's arrest. But the warrant could not be served--Boss Petrillo was well out of reach, in Chicago.
