IT'S Denied That the Musicians Are on tho
Point or Striking for Moro.
The story went around yesterday that the
members of the Banda Rosa, which is playing
now at tho Metropolitan Opera House had dis.
covered that the United States was a consider
ably more expensive place to live in than San
Severe. from which they hail. and were on the
point OF striking for higher pay, and would then
return to Europe unless their demand was met.
Tho members Of the Banda Rossa," said a
man who professed to represent the musicians,
receive So a day in this country. or this 80

band. The men are quartered at a hotel which
charges them So q week. That leave them
$3.50 q week for their services. Unless the
Rosenfeld Brothers who brought them to this
country, are willing To pay them more the play
ers will all return TO Italy"
Mr.. Carl Resented said that his firm had
nothing to do with the engagement OF the musi-
clans, as their contract was with Sig. Eugenio

pays the men we have nothing to do. But
he assured me to-day that they received more
than 50 a day. The 3 francs which they pay
TO him Is sent back to Italy for the support Of
tions on which they were allowed to leave San
Severe. They knew all about the expense of
living before they came here. None OF them.
Signor Sorrentino tells me. is in the least dis.
