OPEN LETTER

To the people of the city of Butte:
The city administration has made pub
lie charges that the abandonment of city
band concerts was caused by a disagree
ment among Butte musicians Hundreds
of inquiries from Butte people have
prompted this statement Of the position
of the Musicians Union
In 1921 the state legislature by H. B.
220 authorized cities to make a tax levy
not to exceed one mill per dollar for
the purpose of providing free band con-
certs. The city council in 1886 levied a
quarter of a mill for this purpose and
band concerts were held in each ward
of the city. In all about twenty con-
eerts were heard at a cost to the tax
payers Of only one fortieth Of a cent per
taxable dollar
There is no question that the concerts
were popular and that they attracted
thousands of appreciative listeners. It
is our belief that Butte citizens want
band concerts and that when the true
facts are made known they will demand
that the city provide these concerts
under pleasant and enjoyable circum-
stances. However, the musicians believe
that as employees Of the city they were
within their rights in asking that fair
and reasonable working conditions be
maintained. At the outset, the bands
were provided with a portable stand
and. following the abandonment of plans
for a permanent band shell, even this
makeshift affair was discontinued. This
resulted in a condition that was intoler-
able and unfair to the musicians as we'll
as the public The musicians sat on
chairs placed on the ground and dust
raised by children and dogs racing among
the band caused damage to musical in
struments and hampered the musicians
in their work
It would appear that Butte has not
made a reasonable effort to provide a
sufficient number of band concerts for
the Butte people under conditions fair
to the musicians ana the public We
also hold that if the city administration
will budget sufficient funds, which under
the law they have right to do, the
levy Of one-fourth of a mill will provide
ample funds for twenty or more con-
certs and also provide the Butte people
with a permanent band stand that
would be designed for the comfort and
convenience of the public There is no
reason why Butte, like other cities, can
not have a beautiful band shell and be
provided with summer band concerts
If the mayor and the city councilmen
are really interested in providing for
the entertainment and educational well
fare of Butte people they will find no
disagreement on the part of Butte musi-
clans On the contrary they will find
the musicians ready and willing to CO.
operate, as they have always done in the
past. with anyone at any time in any
undertaking designed for the betterment
Of our city and its people

FOR help In
SIXTH WAR LOAN

The Sixth War Loan was the most
successful sales program in the history
Of the world-total sales amounted to
S21 .621 100000. Preliminary Treasury
figures show that a greater amount Of
news and editorial space was devoted to
the Sixth Drive, than to any other,
That news, was made by news In
every department the press of the nation
pounded away with powerful front-page
-editorials-special articles-comic
strips-comic panels-editoria cartoons
special features pictures, etc, with the
urgent message of our nations financial
needs
The proof Of the power of that ire
mendous support by the press is shown
in the final sales figures of the greatest
Of all money raising programs-the Sixth
War Loan Drive. To say that newspapers
played a vital part in that great effort
is not enough. The job that they did in
answer to Americas call for funds rep
resents an accomplishment that is well
worthy Of special recognition.

onstrated again that there is no limita-
ton on what it can accomplish when
voluntarily united in a common cause
for the benefit Of mankind. The Ameri-
can people should feel proud of the job
that you have done.
The Importance Of War Bond sales
cannot be overemphasized. AS some of
our leaders have said on many occasions,
Next to the actual fighting, the War
Bond program is the most vital part of
our war effort"
Your cooperation with the Treasury
through the Allied Newspaper Council
and the Newspaper Editorial Advisory
Committee, both under the chairmanship
of Frank E. Trip, is proving most help
full to our program, and all Of us here
at the Treasury sincerely appreciate the
outstanding support that newspapers are
giving this vital cause.

From Vocalist Dick Haynes comes the
story Of the sailor on shore leave, happy
because he had found a girl as affec-
tionate as he. His Joy was dimmed be-
cause a policeman had warned him
against kissing in the park, and his girl
wouldn't stand for it in the streets. But
life took new turn for the sailor when,
in Grand Central Station, he saw man
kiss his wife goodbye. The sailor rushed
his girl towards a crowd hurrying for
the Philadelphia express ana babe her
a fond farewell. Then the two joined
crowd bound for Boston and repeated the
act, and again in front of the gate lead
ing to the Buffalo train. This was too
much for the red cap who had been
watching Boss he advised the sailor,
why don't you go downstairs to the sub
way2 Them trains laeve almost every
