MlLLlONAlRES IN. STRIKE
Say you highbTow, silk-stockinged,

that the men who sing in the chorus
= OF your grand opera are getting only
$22 for six-day week? Did you
know that they get 81 if they work
all day Sunday at rehearsal or per-

Ihls means you, G. H. Mccormick,

and you, Harold F. Mccormick, who
have John D. Rockefeller for a faith
er-in-law; and J. J. Mitchell of the
Illinois Trust, Max Pam of SiegeI-
CoOper's, Julius ROsenwald of Sears
Roebuck's, Martin Ryerson, steel
magnate; John Shedd, boss of the
Marshall Field store, and Chas. A.
Stevens, ladies' goods millionaire,
and Eddie Swift, packingtown arts
tOcrat.
This crowd, pOssessors of billions
of dollars in money and property, are
known in society as the ''guarantOrs''
of ChicagO's attempt at grand opera.
When packinghOuse milliOnaires and
bank heads decided that Chicago was
too much burly, western city with
out the refinement of the east, they
decided to import opera.
Opera costs money. It's the high
brow indoor sport. So the pIutes
hired Cleofonte Campannini at a re-
ported salary of $4,000 a year to
provide opera for Chicago. Last year
it cost the millionaire guarantors
just $4,000 to pull opera in rough
neck Chicago.
And this $4,000 was over the
money taken in at the box Office.
Seats are SIS for a regular perform
ance, 81 for special attractions. Only
the wealthy have boxes; they cost
$50 a night And you have to hire
them by the season.
But of the hundreds of thousands
that grand opera will cost the mil
