HEAD THEM OFF.

Owing to the opposition of the musi-
cal unions in the United States the
Banda Mexicana, organized in the
City of Mexico, and composed of 75
pieces, will not tour the United
States Director Roche made efforts
to book the band in New York and
other large eastern cites. but found
the union too strong Now, if some of
the long haired acrobats who tour
the country with scab bands during
the summer season, could be headed
off. what great blessing it would be.
