MUSICIANS ARE
JUBILANT over
BIG WAGE CAIN
Chicago Players Are the
Best Paid and Happy

The union musicians of Chicago
have won big victory over the
theatrical managers in their fight for
an increase in wages. A new wage
agreement has been signed giving the
musicians an increase of 71z per cent
in their wages.
This increase will go into effect
Sept. 1 and will bring the musicians
wages up to $74.5O and $92.5O a week.
All the city's musical comedy, bur.
lesque, vaudeville and dramatic the
aires come in on this new wage scale.
These wages, because of the short
season, bring the average wage of a
musician to about $50 per week.
Thank Daily Worker. I
President James c. Petrilla yester-
day thanked the DAILY WORKER
for the assistance it gave the musi-
clans during the last two weeks in
bringing the unions story to the
workers of Chicago, and in denouncing
the lying statements that came out
In the local press thru, Harry Riding,
representing the managers, in an
effort to break the backbone Of the
fight.
Best Paid In Country.
He said the musicians were jubilant
over their victory. "And tell your
readers that the musicians in Chicago
are the best paid musicians in the
country" Petrllla proudly asserted.
The managers of the moving picture
houses, with the exception Of the two
a-day houses which are all settled up,
will meet with the officers Of the union
to day to arrange for definite season
terms for musicians as against the
present fire and hire system.

Christopher Party
Members Discuss
Organization Work

CHRISTOPHER, ILL.,, Aug. ga
general membership meeting of the
Workers Party was held here to dis
cuss the reorganization tour Of Arne
Swabek, the speaking trip of Mother"
Ella Reeve Bloor, and to discuss the
DAILY WORKER drive with Karl
Reeve. Comrades from Waller also at
tended. Reeve spoke on the tendency
of the Christopher miners locals to
isolate themselves, and urged the
Comrades to re-enter the Trades and
Labor Assembly here and endeavor to
have their local unions afiliate and
build it up, in spite of the fact that at
the present time it is dominated by
Kluxers.
The party members decided to ap-
point a man in each branch to write
in DAILY WORKER news. The
DAILY WORKER agent, Mike Bace-
vich, is doing well, not only with the
DAILY WORKER, but with all Of the
Party publications.
Those present from Waller included
Dick Swift, William Potesak, Charles
Grudich andJack Katich. The Chris.
TOPPER Comrades who attended were:
Victor Cernich, Arley Staples, John

The l. w. w. case will next
come before Fred Bernstein,

Bernstein will hear evidence in
the case and make a final de-
cision.
In the meantime the lock is still on
the door Of the Wobbly headquarters
at 1901 w. Madison st.
Judge David of the Superior court
instructed the attorneys on both sides
to get together and reach a temper
airy agreement that will make it pos
sible for the editors and industrial
union officers to enter the building and
take whatever papers are necessary
for carrying on the organizations
work.
Attorney John A. Ryan, acting in
Attorney William H. Cunnea's alb
sence, informed the DAILY WORKER

Chancellor Marx holds UP the

believes in the aboIishing of the

ers who gathered to hear him at
the Workers Party picnic.
Numerous Socialist Party and
trades union members were
present despite the active oppo-
.sition of the union bureaucracy
and the S. P. machine. The Mil
waukee Leader, fearing attend
ance of socialists at the COM
munist meeting, ordered its
business manager to stop the
advertisement of the gathering.
Verboten by Victor.
To those who know the Socialist
Party and its Milwaukee ruler, Vic
tor Berger, this action came as a
great surprise. Berger has no
scruples about accepting ads from
the Boston Store, Fischer Furniture
Co., and the Traction Co., but when
it came to accepting an ad about a
workers meeting, he turned it down.
The new political policy of Berger
Hillquit-Co. has brought the former
into nice kettle of fsh. While he,
running for congress, and Herbert
Quick, running for governor. both
take great pleasure in displaying La
Follette's picture in the middle of
their campaign posters, they are fight
ing against Blaine as a reactionary
enemy to labor. Blaine, running again
for the governorship, has the endorse
ment of LaFollette.
May Ditch Quick.
1t is rumored that Quick may be
ditched by the Berger machine in
favor of Cummings. who is aiming to
cop the governorship via the republi-
can ticket.
Foster, in dealing with the Socialist
Party here and in other countries,
said: in Germany the social demo
Gratis agreed to allow capitalism to
exist in return for mess of pottage
and so betrayed the revolution of Ger
many. If the social democrats did
that what would LaFollette do IL the
capitalist class was being threatened
by the growing organized workers
Would LaFollette stick with the work
ers? MOI
LaFollette Breaks =. l. P.'s
HE is now setting up LaFollette
clubs as rival organizations OF the
Farmer-Labor progressives all over
the state of Minnesota. This is an
other attempt by him to destroy any
chances of a labor party because
Minnesota has the strongest F. L. P.

PershIna Makes Speech.

PARIS, Aug. 26.-General John J.
Pershing's speech suggesting a reduc-
ton Of Frances war debts to America
has aroused considerable interest
here. It is not likely that the General
is expounding merely his own opin-
ions, but has been used as a feeler by
the United States government.
Secretary Mellon is In Paris at the
present time, but has refused to com.
ment on the Pershing statement.
Those close to Mellon, however, have
reason to believe that in the event OF
Coolidge's recollection, immediate steps
will be taken to give France favorable
conditions on her debt. Some such
proceeding as followed in the case OF
England, would be applied to France.
