MARINE BAND MUST STAY.

Washington and Not Philadelphia
Should Have 1t on Labor Day.
The National Association of Letter Car
riers yesterday petitioned the Navy De-
partnlent for the detail Of the Marine Band
TO participate in the Labor Day parade at
it's convention in Philadelphia.
1t was stated that the detail would
be made If the consent Of the Musicians
Union OF Philadelphia could be obtained.
Mr E. J. Rea, secretary OF the Labor Day
conference committee, said last night this
would be contrary TO all plans forth Marine
Band already made, and it seemed impos-
sible anything of the kind suggested would
be done. As already announced in The
Times one section of the band has been en-
gagged by the Plate Printers for the day
and the other section by the plasterers.
Itis understood these two sections include
the whole band, and how any part of it
can go TO Philadelphia he thought hard to
understand.
OF course, he said, the Marine Band is
absolutely under the direction of the Secre-
tary of the Navy but it seems very unlikely
that he viii detail the organization to go to
Philadelphia, without any apparent reason,
when it has already been engaged by labor
societies here.
II is understood that if the band goes to
Philadelphia it is expected to play without
pay further than it receives from the gov
ernnlent, while here it will receive its usual
price ia addition.
