HIGHEST PAY ONLY $40

Members from Earning Money
by Private Engagements.

That the United States Marine Band
must, of necessity. pass out of existence
If its members are restricted from ac-
cepting private employment without raise
in their pay was the assertion made last
evening by Lieut. william H. SanteI-
mann, the conductor.
The Senate and House conferees on the
army bill have kept in that proposed
measure an amendment inserted in the
Senate which prevents the army. navy,
and Marine Corps musicians from as
suming engagements which might inter-
fere with the customary employment and
regular engagements of local civilians.
Should this clause be adopted" said
Lieut.. Santelmann, our band as 1t now
stands would be broken up. It's members
would be forced to accept engagements
with private musical organizations All
OF them could make more money with
those bands than with the Marine Band,
and all OF them would have to make more
money than their government pay in or
der to subsist.
The highest priced musician in the Ma
rine Band is receiving a salary of $50 a
month and an allowance OF $40 a month,
or $40 in all. Approximately twenty of
them receive $50 a month"; With the ex-
ception Of the highest paG man. none Of
them are given any allowances so that
they have to pay the expenses of them
selves and families out of their salaries
together with the pay they receive from
private sources
You can therefore see that il they
are held strictly to their Federal salaries,
few. If any of them, can at the most
make both ends meet
