The trouble is that in this reckoning the American Fedora
ton of Musicians, allied with the American Federation Of Labor,
asks for more money than the poor managers can afford to pay, with
tickets down to 81. 80 and SIS per.
At this juncturc a Tonawanda man comes forward with a new
invention that combines in a single instrument organ and piano,
strings and wood winds. bass and snare drums, and doubles in the
lrasses. The independent managers are looking this musical
dradnought over and contemplate using it as a strikcbreaker in
cne of need.
They might do worse. This condensed Marine Band and Phil

answer the purpose of drowning the comments Of the small
