A DIscoRpANT NOTE.
Musicians to Express Disapproval II
Government Bands Are Emploved.

Some confusion Of present plans for the
encampnent Of the Grand Army Of the Re-
public in this city next October is threat
ened by the attitude Of the professional
musicians OF the city. which has been In
formally announced TO many persons inter-
ested in the encampment. 1t is the purpose
of the local professional musicians, tacitly
agreed upon. to withdraw from the encamp-
ment parades If any government band is
permitted to march for pay. Such a course
is expected to exclude from the line OF
march not only all locsl bands not in the
government service. bet also all visiting
bands affiliated with thh Federation Of La
bOr.
A local musician expressed the attitude Of
the Federation membcss this morning as
follows:
Our opposition to competing with en-
listed men from the arl:y and navy is now
very we'll known, l thihk. to the people of
Washington. We object to having to bid
paid by the general government. who can
attend rehearsals without sacrificing their
time and who are provided with instru-
mentS. The government men can and do
underbid the citizen musician time after
time. We believe this competition to be- un-
fair. We hope to obtain congressional legis-
lation which will make it impossible in the
future. But failing In that, we think we
See in the encampment Of the Grand Army
OF the Republic an opportunity to help our
cause more than We could help it in any
other way. The city will be full Of bands
hired to march in that parade. We will be
prepared to march also. If the committee
insists on using the government bands all
the union musicians in the city Will be in
structed to walk out That will mean that
two or. three government bands will provide
all the music for all the parades. and We do
not expect the committee to invite any such
happening as that"

the throng which had closed around

several seconds In profound silence.

quiver in his lip. and a still more un-
usual tear on his shrivele1 cheek. His

as full of melancholy eloquence as any

which had lifted him from the lowest

weary road which had brought him to
this lofty summit? OF his poor mother
lying beneath the tangled underbrush
In distant forest? or that other
