Prospect of a quick settlement of the motion picture strike faded last night when William Lessing, strike chieftain, bluntly remarked he was “not even Interested” in a peace proposal film producers had accepted.
The plan, authored by the Los Angeles central labor council, proposed that strikers return to work Immediately, pending negotiations of W’age demands.
