Gus. A. Schuldt, director Of the Elite Or
chestra, and a wel-known local civilian
musician. has the following to say:
THE statements of Assistant Secretary
Roosevelt and Col Haywood that the Ma
rine Band will be allowed to compete with
local civilian musicians in the District of
Columbia. and not in other cities and
states, has excited indignation in the fra
ternity. Musicians here do not see why
they ara singled out to have the burden of
this competition from which those in other
cities are freed. 1t, however, demonstrates,
that. as with politics, the District has
again been ignored. 1t will be seen that the
Chicago protest has stopped the band s
jaunts to other cities.
Colonel Haywood Is quoted as having re-
cause of the Chicago protests. I am not
prepared to vouch for other cities, but as
far as the District is concerned this state
ment is ridiculous. The very fact that the
majority OF the bandsmen are members of
the Washington Musical Assembly is evil
dence in support of its reputation. Motions
have been made upon the floor of the as
sembly to disbar the band, but these were
always promptly voted down by the civil
1ans who outEumber the bandSmen three to
one. The assembly has also frequently
drafted and supported bills TO secure the
band increased salaries. These facts tend
to show that there Is no truth in the jeal-
cusy statement
THE local civilian musicians contend
that justice to one should be justice TO ALL
and now that the other cities have secured
their>labor freedom they mean to fight for
their own. They claim. and rightfully,
think. that # a privilege is extended to one
city 1t should be given to all, and there
fore ask that ho discrimination be made
against Washington civilian musicians.
1t has been said that as long as the
bandsmen receive such small salaries they
cannot be censured for accepting extra en-
gagements Why. then, does not the gov
eminent increase their beggarly pittance?
Surely the civilian musician must not be
made to suffer for governmental parsi-
n1ony.
Being enlisted men and receiving gov
eminent pay, they are. strictly speaking, the
property OF the government, and should
therefore, be required only for govern
mental purposes"
Mr.. Schuldt states his intention of offer
ing petition to the Secretary of the Navy,
signed by all the local civilian musicians
praying that the Marine Band be prohibited
from competing with the local musicians,
and that he use his influence to secure the
band better salaries.
