portaace Transacted.

| There was a good deal of discussion a
the meeting last night of the Plasterers
| Union over the disappointment that tn
| members will probably experience by no
| getting one section of the Marine Band t,
accompany them in the Labor day parade
as the band had contracted to do, ant
! Prof. Fanciulli came in for a very larg,
snare OF censure. The Plate Printers
Union, which was to have the second sec
llon OF the band, went to work as soon a.
1t became known that Assistant Secretar,
McAdoo would issue an order for the ban6
to go to Philadelphia on that day, and
managed to secure the band of the fourth
artillery regiment
1T is quite unlikely that the plasterers
VIII have to do without music altogether
aGrlns Inc parade, as committees have
peen sent to several points where there are
excellent bands, and they have instructions
to secure band no matter what the ex-
pense may be.
In the discussion of the matter Assistant
secretary McAdoo was held to be blame
less, and the generally expressed opinion
was that the fault in causing the trouble
rested entirely on Prof Fanculli.
Assembly No. &c.
The action of the Marine Band toward
the Plate Printers and Plasterers' Unions
formed the chief topic of consideration at
No. GO, Knights CT Labor
The report of the committee appointed to
call on Assistant Secretary McAdoo to pro-
test against the sending of the band to
Philadelphia, which was composed of
Messrs. NJ F. Hobbs, W. H. Stickel. S. A.
Clements, Charles ]. Wells and John Il
ireland, was submitted, and stated that
Mr.. McAdoo had informed the committee
that some time ago he was called on per-
Eappi1IIli -bn
mat the band be sent to PHILADELPHIA on
Labor day and that he was astonished to
learn that Prof Fanciulli had entered into
contracts with Washinston organizations
stated that Mr.. McAdoo did not mince his
words in giving his opinion of the course of
Prof. Fanciuifi in the matter.
IN tne course OF the discussion of the
subject several members of the committee
stated that Prof. Fanciulii yesterday adj
m1tted to them that he wanted to go to
Philadelphia because for his services there
he is to receive 500, and that each n,en,her
of the band will get S12. which is much
more than they had agreed to play for
here.
