old-time disagreement between the two
organizations of musicans-the Chica-
go Musical society and the American
Musical union.
The former, which belongs to the Amer
lean Federation of Labor. has the larger
support, but the latter body, which is an
assembly of the knights of Labor, be-
lieves it has a right to furnish music for
organized labor; but the Chicago Musical
society says it hasn't ana that if any of
its bands attempt to enter the parade the
Chicago Musical society bands will strike
