twill nodoubtsucceedinse nsecuringmus
Committees Were dispatched last night
to New York, Baltimore, Fortress Mon
roe, Annapolis and other cities with in
stractions TO get a band at any cost.
To say that the labor organizations
feel affronted by the treatment they have
received in the matter would be putting
it altogether too mildly. a leading of
ficial of the District Assembly stated
last night
1T viii be many day before the Marine
Band gets another Job from organized labor
in Washington"
BLAME PROF. FANCIULLI.
Prof. Fapciulh comes in for the greatest
share of the condemnation and it is the
freely expressed opinion that he violated
his agreement with the Plasterers and Plate
Printers solely for the greater financial
benefit TO accrue to him, personally from
going 10 Philadelphia.
The District Assembly met last night
S,P+
| up in discussing the Marine Band matter.
| The delegates poured hot shot into the
| musicians.
1t was reported that s. A. Clements. W
! H Sickle, John Fitzgerald, NJ. F. Hodges,
! John b. Ireland, and Charles Wells, repre-
senting the Plasterers' and the Plate
| Printers Unions of this city, had called in
| the morning on Mr. McAdoo and protested
against his order sending the musicians to
| Philadelphia.
The fact that Prof Fancuilli had agreed
| TO play in Washington on Labor Day was
brought TO his attention.
SURPRISED MR.. McADoo.
Mr.. McAdoo stated that he was unaware
of that circumstance and that the only re-
| quest for the services of the band received
by the Navy Department had come from
the Letter Carriers Association OF Phila-
deIphia, and that he had therefore granted
that request
| The Assembly was further Informed thai
| Mr. McAdoo told the commmittee that
Prof. Fanciuln had in person visited him
some time before, and made the request
that the band be sent to Philadelphia or
| Labor Day. Mr. McAdoo was very muct
| surprised to learn that, in view of this
| Prof FanciUlli had entered into an agree
| ment with the local labor organization!
| and, the committee reported, Mr.. McAdoC
| severely scored the professor for his share
in the transaction.
| WHAT HE TOLD THEM.
The committee also stated that, aftel
the interview, at which Prof. Fanciull
| was present, he stated to them that his
reason was that he would receive $10(
for directing the band in Philadelphia
and that the musicians would receive 81:
each, instead OF 81, that was TO be their pa,
here.
This statement drew out volley o
criticism, the burden of thich was tina
| Prof FanciulIi should have been enoug
of man 10 keep his word with the Wash
ington body, in spite of the additiona
dollars 10 be gained by going to Phil;
delphia.
The discussion was concluded by The
announcement that the Plasterers woul
get band from somewhere, and that tn
Plate Printers had taken time by the fore
lock and engaged the Fourth Artiller
Band
II is expected that resolutions will b.
adopted by the various organizations stat
