FAvoRs THE MARINE BAND.
Miller Says A. F. of NJ. Is Not Try
ing to Wreck 1t.

.Owen Miller. secretary Of the American
Federation of Musicians. declares that his
organization has not entered upon war
fare to destroy the Marine Band, which
has been the idol Of the people for so many
years.
Concerning the charges emanating from
Washington against the musicians organ
ization. Mr.. Miller said yesterday:
1T is not true that the A. F. of NJ, in
conjunction with the A. F. of L., is or ever
did attempt to reduce the pay, or member
ship Of the Marine Band. On the contrary.
the A. F. of NJ. Is on record as always adj
vocating an increase Of pay and raising of
the rank Of not only the Marine Band. but
all enlisted musicians.
TT is not true that the A. F. Of NJ, with
the help of the labor organizations. pro-
poses to deprive the people of the country
OF the opportunity to hear the band On
the contrary, the A. F.S Of NJ not only
proposes. but insists, that. as the people pay
that purpose. instead Of entering the COM
petitive field against civilian musicians. who
have not the advantage Of being supported
by the people.
Musicians are the only class in the COM
munity Disseminated against by Govern
ment competition: What would be said IL the
Government established bureaus Of carpen-
tiers. bricklayers. masons. tailors. shoe
makers. ETC.. composed of enlisted men, and
then insisted on placing such In competition
with civilians OF the same crafts7 Public
opinion would not tolerate such an outrage.
In what way is civilian musician. who
earns his living as such. any different from
members of other crafts or professions? His
needs are the same as others. and he Is
certainly entitled to as much consideration
as any other citizen. and has the right to
demand it.
ANY fair-minded person can readily
recognize that men with all these ,advant-
ages have tremendous advantage in COM
petition with men who receive no bonus OF
pay and other allowances.
Instead of being used for the pleasure
and entertainment of the people who pay
fof them, the Marine Band has been used
for the benefit Of few SPECTATORS, who.
as agents, have farmed them out for every
imaginable purpose in competition with
civilians. 1t was utterly impossible 70.
civilian musician to make a decent living
in Washington until the A. F. of NJ. secured
a footing there, and through affiliated or
ganizations induced employ rs to give pref
erence to men who did not have the adj
vantage Of being supported and equipped at
public expense.
Instead of being opposed to the Marine
Band playing for the people, the A. F. Of NJ.
insists that it is the duty OF this band to
devote Its entire time to that purpose, but
not in competition with civilians in the In
terest of American padrones."
