sHUBERTS FIRE BROADSIDE.
No Anti-6yndicate, but Just IN Alliance q
Injured Managers and Stan.

Injured Managers ana DtAn.
A stir was caused in theatrical orioles
last evening by the initial appearance
Of press sheet or broadside, put out
by the Shuberts, representing the opposi-
ton to the theatrical syndicate. The
sheet was sent to TO newspapers through
out the country, and it Is thought by many
to be the real opening gun in the theatrical
warfare that is to be waged this season.
Although all parties to the opposition
have firmly denied from time to time that
there was any intention Of forming an anti
syndicate, this press sheet" seems to cause
doubt on that score. Despite the fact
that the Shuberts claim to be the authors
OF the whole thing, mention is made very
for chilly of the treatment received not only
by them at the hands Of Klaw Erlanger
as booking agents OF the syndicate but
also by David Belasco, Harrison Grey Fiske.

are mentioned as joined together In fight
against the syndicate as matter OF SELF
