WAR OF FHE BANDS.
Trades Assembly, Tries to Bring
HarmonyUOut of 1t.


A committee from othe Trades and
Labor assembly, consisting of j. H.
Krieger, chairman; ]. L. Hughes, G.
H. Becker, Ed Christopherson and T. f.
Thomas, met committees from the
musicians organizations Monday even
ing, with the object in view Of getting
them to bury their differences and pull
together In future. 1t seems that at
one time all the bands Of the city, in
GLIDING Seibert's, STEMS and Kleist's,
were members Of the National Musi-
clans Protective alliance and were
represented at the meetings of the
Trades and Labor assembly by regular
ly chosen delegates. Discussions finally
crept in among them, the result being
that they allowed themselves to be-
come delinquent on the books Of the
treasurer of the Trades and Labor as
sembly, and also quit sending dele
gates to that body. Not long since, Mr..
Stein applied to the American Fedora
ton of Labor for a charter and Mr..
Weide, one of the musicians connected
with his band, was admitted to the
Trades and Labor assembly as dele
gate. Seibert's organization, through
Mr.. Brahy, learning that this body
had recognized STEMS band, at the
last meeting of the assembly rendered
It an amount of money which, If 1t had
been accepted, would have placed the
members of this band in good standing
up to April last, but would have left
them still three months in arrears. The
assembly, however, not deeming it wise
to have two warning factions repre-
sented before it, appointed the above
committee, with the understanding
that they would endeavor to bring
cosmos out of chaos. The outcome of
ind 10
a near and peaceful settlement Of exist
ing conditions. Charges and counter
charges. by the musicians in attend
ance, were made against each other
and at one time the lie was passed be-
tween two of thelfmembers. AS the
case stands now, Mr.. Stein, with forty
nine musicians behind him, has the
recognized union band of the CITY,
while the others, some forty, are left
out in the cold. 4Itais hoped that with
another conference in the near future
the breach between these two bands
will be narrowed down to point
where a speedy adjustment of the
present difficulty may be brought
about and both organizations be given
representation beforey the Trades and
Labor assembly.
The hack and cabf drivers union have
unanimously voted ito furnish, free of
charge, carriages to the lady members
of organized labor 1who desire to take
part in the Labor day parade.
The Labor day committee will meet
at Assembly hall this evening at
prompt eight o'clock, to select a suit
able site forothe picnic to- rbeoheld eon
Monday, Sept. Z, and to transact such
other business as may come before it.
The subcommittee will also report,
through their chairman, the action
taken by them. The committee on
transportation and grounds consist of
