Union Objects to Contract
SEATTLE, April 5.-The Seattle mu-
sicians' union has served notice on the
park board and the symphony orchestra
that the contract entered into by the
two organiza tions for two concerts a
week in city parks is not considered
valid by the union, which will not
permit the orchestra, all of whose
members are union men, to carry il
out.
The union rule provides that only q
union man may sign a contract on
behalf of musical organization
whereas the president of the orchestra
Herman Chaplin, a wealthy banker. is
not a musician and says he knows
nothing about union rules.
Accompanying the musicians notice
is an offer to furnish brass band music
at a vastly higher price than is asked
by the orchestra.
Rich people interested in music have
contributed literally to establish the
orchestra and have just got an or
ganization paying expenses.
