THEATER-MUS|C|AN
CONFERENCE HELD
Possible Modification of De.
mand for Orchestra of
Seven Discussed.

With the projected fifth annual season
of stock company productions at the
National Theater hanging in the bal
ance, S. E. Cochran. manager of the
National Theater Players, and officials
OF the Musicians Protective Union went
into conference today over the ulti-
matum of the theatrical manager that
unless the union organization receded
from its demand for the employment
of an orchestra of seven, he would
abandon all plans for the season.
Manager Cochran declared in public
statement today that the demands of
the union. based on contract signed
in September. 1927. and running to
September. 1880, were excessive and
unreasonable" and that due to popular
prices for seats for the stock company
season it would be impossible financially
to employ an orchestra of seven. which
be characterized as non-esSential and
rot demanded by the patrons of the
productions.
Contrariwise, A. c. Hayden, president
of the musicians union, declared this
morning that his organization bases its
claims on the terms of the contract
which. he insisted, specifies that an or
clcstra of seven be employed at all
elbows presented at the E street house
erisas from the claim of Manager Coch
rcn that stock company productions are
exempt from the operation of such con-
tracts, a position which, he contends,
has been upheld in other cases.
Notifications Discussed.
Possible notifications of the demands
o. the union were discussed today at the
conference, the results of which would
be subject to ratification by the board
OF directors of the union.
Mr.. Cochran in his ultimatum de-
clared that unless the musicians agreed
10 employment of smaller orchestra
l,e would be forced by the computed cost
cf the season, with the additional mu-
sician expenses, to abandon plans for
the season and release not only the IA
rayers in the stock company. but also
tiae - stage hands and IS house en-
p.oyes.
He said employment of an orchestra
OF seven would cost approximately
$4,000 for the sason. This. he con-
tended. would be utterly prohibitiye, !"
since top prices for seats for the per-
fermances would be 81 at night, so
