Old Controversy RACES as
Fiercely as Ever.
VIEWS OF ALL THE PARTIES
Statements by Officers of Marine Corps
and a Member of the Must
cal Union.

The controversy going on between the
members Of the Marine Band and the
civilian musicians as 20 the justice of
the former entering into competition
with them seems no nearer to a solution
than several years ago, when it was be-
gun. There appears to be no point in
the argument on which the contending
parties can agree, IN fact, one accuses
the other OF doing exactly what the OPP
position contends it should not do.
The civilians charge that the members
of the Marine Band, receiving pay from
the Government, should not be per-
mitted to enter into competition with
them in their field of making a liveli-
hood. On the other hand, it is contend
ed by the members OF the Marine Band
that many persons who are members of
the musicians union and accept con-
tracts TO play with the civilians are en-
ployed by the Government and receive
good salaries for the work.
The civilian musicians also contend
that because the members of the Marine
Band receive extra pay for attending the
concerts at the Capitol and the White
House they should be debarred from ac-
cepting outside engagements to furnish
music. The union men say that Con-
gTess orders these concerts and pays
each bandsman 81 a month extra for
playing at them. The union men argue,
therefore, that members of the Marine
Band receive double pay for playing
once, and that the whole band should
attend these concerts and not take work
which would otherwise fall to the
civilian union men.
Official Opinions.
In discussing the matter General Hey
wood, commanding officer OF the Marine
Corps, said the union should be careful
TO ascertain the facts Of the case before
criticising the members of the band He
said whenever members of the band do
not play at the White House and Capt.
tol concerts their pay is docked-in
other words. that part of the extra "a
which they would earn at one concert
is subtracted from their pay. The band
men, he said, do not receive double pay
for playing once.
As for the whole band attending these
concerts, General Haywood said the
leader selects the proper men TO play
the scheduled program. He may take
the whole band. The order for. the
White House and Capitol concerts,
which have become a tradition in
Washington, are given by the command
ing officer of the Marine Corps
For some time complaints have been
made by the musical union against the
Marine Band being allowed to accept
outside engagements at ALL" said Cap
tain Leonard. of the Marine Corps. when
the matter was submitted TO him. The
members Of the musical unions seem
to forget that there are men In their
own ranks-and some of these are max
ing the strongest kicks against the
Marine Band-whO are employed by the
Government and receive salaries rang
ing from $500 to $500 a year In view

A Shower of Meteors.

"If this comet met the earth" said
Prof Peters, Il believe the result would
be a shower of meteors, a marvelously
beautiful spectacle attended by the ig-
milton of the meteoric particles compos-
ing the body of the comet.
Many people are not aware what a
perfect shield the transparent air around
the earth is. II you run hard against the
wind you feel the resistance. When this
forward motion is reckOned in miles in
stead OF feet per second-it is said that
the comet travels at the rate Of 100
miles in a second-yOu get some appre-
citation OF what the resistance, the frIc-
ton. and consequently what the heat en-
gendered. would be.
"A comet entering this cushion. this
armor OF air, would have its particles
heated instantly to very great degree.
they would be dissipatod IN dust and
Yapor. possibly before they reached the
earth. But there is no danger of the
comets striking the earth

MARINE BAND VERSUS
CIVILIAN MUSICIANS

Of this fact, it would seem that the boot
is on the other foot.
Members of the Marine Band receive
only $54 to $50 a month. and the extra
81 for the White House and Capitol
concerts. Yet men who receive more
than double that amount of pay from
the same Government and who fail to
see any reason why they should not
make money by playing in union bands
object to the members of the Marine
Band filling outside contracts. These
contracts are filled, too. during the few
hours that the men are not on duty
and they have a hundred and one duties
to perform about the barracks every
day.
The Unions Contention.
The members of the musicians union
take an entirely different view of tho
matter. In speaking of the situation a
prominent union man said:
We have always been very careful
in criticising the action of the members
Of the Marine Band. In fact. we do not
contend that they are individually to
natural that they should want to in
crease their earnings. The question is.
however, should they be permitted to do
so at the expense and to the detriment
of the civilian musicians We think not.
When we say that a member Of the
Marine Band who does not attend a
concert at the White House or Capitol
l. 81 Con-.
he is certainly receiving double pay for
one service. He is receiving his per
diem from the Government as a member
of the Marine Band, and also pay from
a private source for the labor he per-
forms II that is not double pay for one
service, we would like to know what
1t is
Then 1t must be remembered also
that many of the members of the must
cal unions contribute 10 the pay of the
members of the Marine Band by payment
of taxes to the Government.
An Erroneous Idea.
Now. as to members of the Marine
Band and persons in Government
employment standing in the same rela-
tive position to the musicians unions,
the idea is erroneous. The members of
the Marine Band, II can readily be seen,
enter. into competition with civilian mu-
sicians. in the same field of labor, and
every engagement taken by a Marine
Band musician Just so much reduces
the opportunity for the civilian to earn
a livelihood.
1T Will be seen and must be admitted
that other employees OF the Government,
clerks, expert accountants, and scfent
lists, do not enter the field OF labor in
competition with civilian workers en-
gagged In similar occupations. II they
did we would hear complaints from
those engaged in all branches OF
trade Then it must be remembered that
the Government clerk is not an enlisted
man He may be dismissed any day and
thrown out TO battle for q livelihood
with union men Not so with the MEN,
bers of the Marine Band; they are IN
der contract for a certain period.
Why Do They Enter the Band?
'If civilian musicians can make as
much monthly as 1t is said. will any
member Of the Marine Band or anyone
else explain why they prefer to enter
into long contracts to work for half
the amount? II must be remembered
that the members OF the Marine Band
entered that organize ton Of their own
free will If they are not satisfied why
do they not leave the band on the frst
opportunity
