UNION BANDS CREATE DIsCORD.
Fight Against Drum Corps May Stop
Paterson's Labor Day Parade.

PATERSON, N. j., Sept. "A special
meeting Of all the musicians in this city
affiliated with the American Federation OF
Musicians is called for tomorrow morning
to decide whether they shall take part in
the Labor Day parade.
The union musicians have already issued
an edict to the managers Of the parade
that they will not take part unless all nom
union bands and drum corps are with
drawn from positions in line. As the
various labor bodies have signed con-
tracts with the non-union bands and drum
corps, the marshal and his aides have been
placed in a quandary and the whole parade
may be called OF.
The war against drum corps appearing
In parades with members of the American
Federation of Musicians was begun a few
weeks ago by the national body. Drum
mers and fifers demand 81 so less a man
for each parade than the band musicians,
and the national officers are endeavoring
to compel the din producing musicians
to become members of the federation,
and thereby be on a par with the band
for an ordinary parade.
Organizations which could not afford
bands at such price have heretofore
been content with the drum corps. II
organizations would have them. The OBJ
ject Of the national body of musicians,
therefore, is to assimilate them and then
let them die Of inaction. In that event
the bands would have the monopoly of
the political parades in the next two months,

itself somewhat II the members of the

All Its Northern Division to Do Equipped
With Side Trolley ContrIyance.


With Side Trolley Continuance.
ALBANY, Sept. s-Following the an
nouncement Of the New York Central Rail-
road Company that it proposes to use
electric power on several of its upstate
branch lines, comes report that the Della
ware and Hudson company has almost
completed preparations to operate electric
trolleys on all its northern divisions, in the
endeavor to retain the patronage which
has been going lately to the electric roads
in it's territory.
The Delaware and Hudson company
some months ago secured the serv ices
OF Axel Eckstrom, an engineer OF the Gen
eral Electric Company. and set him at work
on the problem Of ielectrifying the COM
pany's upstate divisions for purposes of
short haul business. He was to devise a
scheme whereby the company could operate
trolleys over the rails OF the steam roads
trains. Upon his report the company,
it is said, has decided to employ what is
known as the side trolley, This continuance
Is identical with the overhead trolley. ex
cept that the trolley rod ia fastened to the
top Of the car at one side instead of in the
middle, 30 that there ia no interference
with the use Of the road by the steam loco
motives.
The first Of the Delaware and Hudson
lines TO be electrically equipped probably
Will be the line between Albany and Sara
branch lines will be similarly equipped.
II Is the expectation that the new electric
lines will be in operation by the early part
of next year.

Secretary Morton Fixes q Scale OF Maxi.
mum Daily Expenses While Travelling.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 3.-The advantage
OF having an experienced railroad man at
the head Of the Navy Department is shown
in a special order just issued by Secretary
Paul Morton governing the question of
travelling expenses. This has been sore
point in the navy for a long time Officers
have had difficulty in persuading the pay
master that hotel bills were high, that
tipping was universal and necessary, both
at home and alb road and that meals on
trains could not be procured for less than
81 each. Secretary Mortons order reme-
dies this. He fixes scale Of maximum
daily expenses as follows:
Actual cost Of transportation, includ-
ing Pullman fare; meals on train, 81 each;
hotel bills, IS per day; single meals not on
train, $l.50 each; tips on train. so cents per
diem; tips at hotels, so cents per diem; trans
fer Of baggage, 81; carriage hire when neces-
sity for such expense is clearly shown.
When officers are travelling in foreign
countries Secretary Morton allows them to
pay 81 per diem for hotel tips and 81 so per
diem for tips on merchant vessels. As this is
rank discrimination against the Amalga-
mated Union Of. Pullman Porters and the
Conglomerated Association OF Bellboys
in favor Of the pauper labor OF Europe.
there Is likely to be something doing"
