historic events here has been de-
rived directly from the military
bands, great and small, that
have taken part in them.
The influence of George Wash
ington, the father of our coun-
try and our city, will never be
forgotten when reviewing our po-
litical foundations. In like man.
ner we are justified in crediting
him with many of our cultural
foundations, particularly music.
Under General Washington, mill
tary music received life and vi
tally, that, though retarded at
times, have never been lost.
These small seeds of culture
have grown steadily, gaining
much of the polish of the pure
science and art of music without
outgrowing the purposes for
which they were created. In any
consideration of the activities of
military bands in local circles, the
aids and limitations imposed by
their normal characteristics and
purposes must be taken into con-
Sideration.
The musical activities and in
terestS in Washington are so nu-
merous and varied that it is not
possible to mention all of them.
Five general classes of endeavor
deserve special mention, as fol
lows: Educational, creative, COM
mercial, public concerts and Ii.

Dear Mr.. Denies: In compliance
with your request, 1 shall be glad

think that both you and The

musical activities in this city.
I have great confidence in your

SEATTLE AIDING
PAPER TO END
STRIKE

Special to American Newspapers. Inc.
SEATTLE, Wash, Sept. IT.
Prominent Seattle business men,
at an emergency meeting yester-
day requested the management of
the Seattle Post-Intelligencer to
take no action toward permanently
Suspending publication until the
business interests Of the city could
exert their influence on conserva-
tive labor leaders to bring an end
to the strike boycott against Sc
attle'S Oldest newspaper.
Later, Charles B. Lindeman, as
sociate publisher, issued a state
ment announcing the decision of
the acknowledgements manage
ment to defer action for "a brief
period"
Down Since August
The PoSt-Intelligencer has been
closed down since August Is when
mob rioting, melted by a strike Of
two dozen members of the Amer
lean Newspaper Guild, editorial
workers union, forced suspension
of publication.
The newspapers management
declared that an article in the
Guild strike publication this morn
ing to the effect that the PoSt-In'
telligencer had announced perma-
nent abandonment of it's plant had
grossly miSrepreSented the facts
and that the statements in the
Guild article credited to the Post
1ntelligencer management were
entirely unauthorized.
At a meeting of the strikers
Tuesday night j. M. Litonius,
president of the Seattle Typo
graphical Union whose members
have been barred from their en-
ployment on the acknowledgement
by the Guild strike, urged the
Guild to vote to return to work.
He told the strikers he understood
that if the strike were not ended,
the acknowledgement would begin
moving out machinery.
The Statement
Lindeman'S statement yesterday
follows:
"At the invitation Of a group
Of business men / was called
down to the Chamber of Com
merce at 8 o'clock this morning
and this group asked that we
defer action on the permanent
closing of the POst-Intelligencer
for q short time; that they
hoped to be able to bring con-
sentative organized labor ele-
mentS to the realization that it
would be a terrific blow to the
community If the POSt.Intel-
ligencer was forced to suspend
permanently. They were anxi.
Gus over the loss of the pay roll:
the bad name it would give the
city, and that new industries
would fear to come here.
1--WE have decided to defer
action for a brief period.
TRADE GROUPS
"A group from the Allied
Printing Trades Council, headed
by LitOniuS, came to the manage
ment yesterday voluntarily and
said that much pressure had
been brought to bear on them
and they wanted to end the
strike. They thought that by
sitting down with the manage
ment they could do this, and
asked on what basis the manage
ment would resume.
"The management told them
that if they thought they saw a
fair chance Of ending the strike
they were privileged to act un-
officially in conveying to the
members of the Guild the basis
on which the paper would re-
sumo publication"
Frank Lynch, Guild member
and dismissed Post-Intelligencer
photographer, said that a new
proposal for ending the strike was
to be suggested to the striking
