Orchestras at the Grand and
Novelty Are on Strike.
Walk Out in Sympathy With
the Stage Hands.

In accordance with the terms of a
contract of affiliation existing between
the American Federation of Musicians
and the international Association of
Theatrical Stage Employees and Mo-
ton Picture Operators the orchestras
of both the Grand and the Novelty
theaters were on strike today. The
walkOut, it was explained, is an after
math of the strike of stage hands and
moving picture operators at the same
theaterS a month ago. Two new or
chestras, non-union, were on the job
at the two theaters this afternoon.
H. E. Barnes, secretary of Topeka
Musical association No. So, American
Federation of Musicians, explained
today that the walkout is In conipii-
ance with orders from the Interna-
tional, which decreed tnat the two
LOCAL orchestras should give two
weeks notice of their intention to
quit.
Out of Hands of Local Union.
TT is a matter over which the To-
cal union has no control Mr.. Barnes
stated.
Roy Payne and A. ]. Schober, who
recently leased the two theaters from
L. NJ. Crawford, explained that the
original grievance of the stage hands
and operators concerned the hiring of
hands union demanded when the new
contract should be signed. The con-
tract between the stage hands and Mr..
Crawford expired at the same time
the lease was signed by Schober and
Payne The latter did not ask for
any contract nor did the stage hands
offer any. it was said. Thus the stage
hands grievance, as it rests today, is
practically a matter of recognition of
the union.
When the operators and stage hands
walked out a month ago, the lessees
of the two theaters, expecting the
orchestras to follow suit, had en-
ployed two orchestras to take their
places. The local musicians union:
however, did not see fit to call their
members out in sympathy with the
stage hands and operators and the
nonunion musicians were dismissed
after two weeks spent in rehearsal
only.
The non-union men were dismissed
only after the Topeka Musicians
union protested to the lessees against
a condition which they said indicated
that the lessees were considering dis
charging the Grand and Novelty or
chestra in violation of the contract
which the union had signed with Mr..
Crawford. and which the lessees were
bound to carry out. The lessees in
formed the Musicians union that it

Just an Ordinary Day in Life of
Chief Executive.
Usual Business This Forenoon,
Perhaps Golf Later.
S FIFTY-SEVEN YEARS OLD
Messages of Greetings From All
Parts of World.
President Enjoying Better
Health Than for Months.

Washington, Nov 2-President
Harding today celebrated the 57th an
niversary of his birth almost as
quietly and simply as the average
American citizens observes a birth
day. There were no indications at
the White House of anything more
than just an ordinary day in the life
of the chief executive of the land.
The presidents plans called for his
appearance at his office at the reg
ular time. the usual forenoon round
of conferences, the customary noon
day period devoted to meeting visitors
in the capitol from the towns and
hamlets of America who consider the
moment when they grasp the presi-
dents hand and hear his word of
greeting the climax of their visit;
luncheon, and then perhaps a few
hours Of golf over the course of a
nearby country club.
No Dinner Party.
Because Mrs. Harding still is con-
fined to her bed. altho recovering
from her recent illness there will not
even be a birthday dinner party, but
the president will spend the. evening
with her.
The fact that today was his BIRTH
day, however, was not forgotten by
the close friends of the executive or
by the nation and the world at large.
was yesterday-telegraph wires at the
White House licked and messenger
boys arrived carrying messages of
birthday greetings, many of them
from rulers Of other countries.
Close acquaintances of Mr.. Harding
remarked today on the recent i'm
provement in his physical condition.
A month ago the strain or two years
for it was just two years ago today
that Mr.. Harding was erected to the
presideney-had become noticeable
A summer of continuous work without
a vacation, the troubled industrial sit
uation and finally Mrs. Harding's ILL
ness had increased the strain.
Has Been Taking a Rest.
Adjournment of congress, adjust
ment of the major industrial contFo-
versies and the STEADY progress to-
ward recovery made by Mrs. Harding
allowed the tension to lessen. Heed
ing the advice of his physician, the
president for a month has been taking
things easier, has devoted more time
to rest and has spent more time on
the golf links.
The result, according to associates
of the president, is that President
Harding is in better physical condi-
tion on his 57th birthday than he has
been for months ana is looking for
ward with zest to tackling the prob
lens to come with the reconvening of
