		Chicago-born James Caesar Petrillo was arguably one of the most colorful, powerful and controversial labour leaders of the 20th century.

		James C. Petrillo died of natural causes in 1984 at the age of 92.

		PETRILLO, JAMES CAESAR [Petrillo, James Caesar], 1892-1984, American labor leader, president of the American Federation of Musicians (1940-58), b.
		As national president of the American Federation of Musicians, he called several strikes against radio, television, and recording companies in order to strengthen the AFM and to combat the increased use of technological devices that lessened employment for musicians.
		Petrillo continued to serve (until 1963) as president of the Chicago branch of the AFM after his resignation as national president.

		In 1942, Petrillo said that canned music generated $3 million in revenue to musicians and $100 million to the music firms.
		In any event, Petrillo, who died in 1984, had served the union for almost 50 years and had changed the musical industry for better and for worse.
		His legacy can be seen in many well paid musicians, as opposed to the hand to mouth existence of all but a few, before his tenacity paid off.

		The suit had been brought by RCA (see Fred Waring) and the decision was wrong, the opposite of the decision preceding the formation of ASCAP (which see), but broadcasting helped to sell records.
		Selvin got a standing ovation, but Petrillo demanded that record companies refuse to allow records to be played on the radio and juke boxes without additional royalties being paid, though they'd already tried and failed to do that; then he ordered musicians to stop recording on 1 Aug. '42.
		Just in case he hadn't done enough damage, Petrillo called a second recording ban in '48, when many of the bands had already folded.

		They might have conferred inside the building instead-one of them, James Caesar Petrillo, was the local's vice president-but he thought the walls had ears, and the message he wanted to deliver was confidential.
		To Petrillo, this was tantamount to a declaration of war; he considered the Chinese restaurants his personal fiefdom.
		Petrillo was given the name Caesar at birth, but Stein took it for himself when he was a teenager.

		Meanwhile, the American Federation of Musicians, under the leadership of James Caesar Petrillo, were involved in a major recording strike against the four major record companies.
		This continued until the intervention of recording pioneer George Robert Vincent, who was at that point a lieutenant.
		On October 27, 1943, Vincent convinced Petrillo to allow his union musicians to record sides for the military, as long as the records were not offered for purchase in the United States.

		What I didn’t know is that my delusional world was the dream of a tough union leader in the first half of the 20th century, James Caesar Petrillo of the American Federation of Musicians (AFM).
		He saw that recorded music, and the broadcasting of that music on radio and jukeboxes, was a threat to his boys’ jobs (and his).
		There are no more AFM bosses like Petrillo, who in the ’30s had enough clout to make all the radio stations in Chicago hire union musicians to flip records.

		In 1941, James Caesar Petrillo, the outspoken president of the American Federation of Musicians (AFM), commissioned a study to determine whether the use of recorded music took away jobs from musicians.
		The survey found that the record companies paid millions of dollars to AFM members and any problems caused by records could not be solved by a musicians strike.
		Nevertheless, Petrillo wanted to restrict the commercial use of recordings, particularly juke boxes and radio play.

	Rudy Schrager
		The American Federation of Musicians, led by James Caesar Petrillo, had periodically sparred over money and employment practices with the radio and recording industries during the early and mid-'40s, but late in the decade, Petrillo decided to draw a new line in the sand over television.
		Conversely, dozens of composers, including Schrager, Gilbert, and Mullendore, saw their opportunities in movies fading away amid the growth of television, and were now prevented by their union from earning anything from the new medium to make up the loss.
		Yet they dared not defy Petrillo, who ruled the AFM with an iron hand (he was known in the press as "the Mussolini of Music") and had even defied President Franklin Roosevelt's efforts at averting a strike by musicians at the outset of World War II.
