In New Rochelle, N. Y., members of the Guild's East coast branch struck the studio known for Mighty Mouse and Heckle and Jeckle.

The strike lasts eight months -- the longest cartoonists' strike in history. Although the strikers returned to work without a settlement, eventualy Paul Terry is forced to sign.
