By December 1948 “the book finally was closed” on the lockout, with the levying of fines totaling $9,650 on thirty-two of the picketers and jail sentences for five others. In October 1949 the “last victim” of the lockout, Emil Freed—a Communist—was released after serving a one-year jail term; he had been selling party newspapers across the street from the picket lines when arrested. By November 1950 there was “no picketline for the first time in almost five years: the United Brotherhood of Carpenters has called off the token picket line it had maintained ever since the so-called jurisdictional fight that started in 1946.”217 Toward the end, Edmond DePatie, a vice president at Warner Bros., recalled that many were feeling sorry for CSU: at times there was only a solitary picket marching resolutely in front of the studio.218
