The exclusive publication IN THE
JERSEY CITY NEWS last night of the
trouble In the Junior O.U.A.M. Baud
caused great excitement among the NOM
bers of the order. Many feared this
trouble would ~refisctl IN the patriotism
Of the members. while others c%ontendsd
thess petty jeaiousies should have never
entered into the business OF the band.
A prominent member of Industry Coun-
Gil was interviewed last evening in refer
euce to the assertions OF members of the
band. He said:-
THE COUNCILS DEFENDED.
I'm the first place we never denied that
we owed the band $5l for services. We
will pay that a MOUNT Co the organization
just as soon as 1t carries out its part of
the coutracs. You see the hand took OUT
a joint mortgag 9 for $500. $3.50 each with
mouey has never been paid us. When it
is we will give them S51.
"Has the mortgage been foreclosed." l
asked.
mo. but we have engaged a lawyer
aud he will do SO as soon a. possible"
do you think you will be able to
realiza the amount of the mortgage and
interest from the sale OF the instru>
meuts?o
81 hardly think so il they were sold to
outside parties, but / think the councils
will buy them IN for $500. I would not
like TO say so. for certain, until hesr
what tbs official report Is from the trus-
tees meeting"
The aud olsiuis the Instruments cost
$685.. Do you think se?n
"Yes, they might have cost that much
when new. but l doubt II they would
bring much over 5000 now. II they were
sold under the hammer"
at seems that the band and the couu>
ellis could never get along together or
agree upon anything; what was the
trouble with themf".
"Weil you see, 10 the first plac3 thu
band discharged a couple of It's m ,nbsrs,
aud hired two other to taks their ptaces
who wers not members OF tina Jr. Order,
This was contrary to the laws OF the or
der. Then the members played in front
Of a saloon one night st It's opening and
disgraced the name of ths Jr. o. U. A. M
They did ouher Things which were any
thing but q credit to the me mbers. They
have also acted In an outra geous manner
toward the council ever since a certain
few members undertook TO run the
band's entertainment on July 4
Most of the members of the
council sided with the band On
that occasion. and condemned the actions
Of those few, yet the members of the band,
with the exception Of the President, Mr..
F. P. Schroeder. got incen sed. and
thought the council wautsd to ruin them.
Tl admit that the baud would have mad
more money at that entertaiDm II
those certain few had let it alone. That
Is why Mr.. Schroeder is no: a mem Der of
'Dilley's Electric Band which consists
OF most of the old members. II he had
condemned the whole council for a GER
tain few, like the rest of the band. he no
doubt would have been 4 me mber of the
new one. There Is no doubt In my nj ID
that II the bsnd had acted UPON a SOU are
and fair oasis with the councils but what
ir could have had the extension it asked
for, and been running today"
WILL ORGANIZE A NEW BAND.
IL is said that the couuctls VIII buy in
the old instruments aud orxaulze an
other baud.
