National and Columbia Theaters Start Season With New
Men in Musicians ChairS-Leaders Remain.

In accordance with the forecast made
in The Times several months ago, the
National and Columbia Theaters have
adhered TO their determination not to
accede TO the demands of the Musical
Union. and have engaged non-union men
tp fiji the chairs IN their orchestras.
Although in both houses the former
leaders. Chris Arth at the National, and
Sol Minister at the Columbia. were again
in their places last night. It was with
an orchestra Of free lance" musicians
that they furnished the necessary must
cal program
Anticipating that the management Of
the National and Columbia were firm in
their ruling against an increase in wages

ind themselves out of a position, Mr..
Arth and Mr.. Minister sent in their reslg-
nations as members of the union and

There is but enc house. Chase's, which
now employs union musicians. and the
fact that the other orchestras have been
made up of local musicians. has proFed
that Washington still has a number Of
unemployed inslrumentalists.
Delegates representing the local Nh
sicians' Union attended the meeting OF
the Central Labor Union in Typo
graphical Temple, last evening, ana
asked that Kernan's Iheater be placed
on the unfair list because the manager
employed musicians which had been eX-
PEELED from the union, as we'll as those
who remained in the theater when or
dered out by their union officers.
The central body refused TO take this
action and referred the matter TO the
grievance committee, which VIII re-

BILE.
In the matter of gloves, a washable
suede Isle is satisfactory for the half
holiday jaunt. Kid gloves are an aboIn-
ination in hot weather, and IL is a fad
this year to keep the hands covered
whenever one is out doors The dis
tinctly feminine, delicate hand is com $.
ing into vogue once more.
The same may be said about veiis.
The half-holiday girl who would be in
line with Dame Fashions followers has
veil, preferably washable chiffon. If
she wears an all-white costume, with
blue tie, belt and hat, her veil should
be blue, shirred snugly around the
crown of the hat dropping over the
face, then crossed in the back and tied
under her chin in a fluffy bow. A new
veil is plated chiffon, but the
plating is not proof against moisture
and dampness. Therefore the plain veil
is preferable.
