Dispute With Orchestra and Strike
of Stagehands Keeps Flame Away

musicians union had given no.
tice to the theater management
that the union scale for orches-
tras would have to be lived up
to in the Tacoma theater here
after.
This scale provides for five
musicians when the admission
price of 81 or less and six men
when the admission price goes
over 81
II a travelling show brings its
own musicians, the local union
scale provides that the regular
orchestra will assist them, ex-
cept in cases where the troupe
orchestra numbers 10 men or
more, when the local musicians
will not appear.
Manager Herald held that he
would be forced to pay for Is
musicians IL a travelling show
brought nine men with 1t, and de-
clared that this was exorbitant.
After the matter had been
threshed out between the must
clans, the Central Labor council
and the theater management for
two months, notice was given that
the musicians scale would be en-
forced beginning Dec. 3, or the
theater would be termed "un-
fair"
When Manager Herald refused
to hire the full orchestra Tues
day, stagehands walked out. The
craft is affiliated with the The
atrical Federation of Tacoma, in
which motion picture operators
are also united.
The theatrical production of
1.-THE Flame" brought with it two
orchestra musicians and a staff
Of eight stage mechanics, but the
stage workers did not form a
sufficient staff to handle the big
scenic settings Of the production.
