and artists alike.
Some Doubt Closing.
Some did not believe the associa-
ton would stand by its decision,
which would mark the first time In
50 years the Met has not presented
. season Of opera.
An association spokesman, how
ever. indicated the decision was
final.
This business Of long drawn-out
negotiations with the unions has
been going on every year." he said.
The directors think it Is time to
meet the issue"
The cancellation brought an i'm
mediate protest from Local 802 of
the American Federation of Musi-
clans tAFD-one Of several with
which the Met has failed to reach
agreement.
The union said it had dropped
wage demands in an effort to reach
= settlement and had insisted only
on an employment insurance plan
and old-age benefits. It's statement
added:
The Metropolitan Opera is not
q private venture, but q world
renowned institution; it is q civic
institution; it is one which belongs
not to small group of people, not
to the board Of directors, but to al
the people, those thousands OF
Americans who have contributed
money 50 that the Metropolitan
could continue its existence"
Musicians Minimum $139.50.
The union said 1t was confident
that this unilateral action will not
stand for long, that those to whom
the Metropolitan represents an in
tegral part of our culture will assert
themselves and make possible the
next season."
The Opera Association spokesman
said the principal union beside the
musicians with which the Met was
unable to reach, an agreement was
the International Alliance of Thea
trical Stage Employees and Moving
Picture Machine Operators (AFL),
representing the stagehands.
In addition, no settlement was
reached with the theatrical ward
robe attendants, the operating engi-
neers and the firemen and oilers.

The Opera Association said it had

other unions, including the AFL
American Guild Of Musical Artists
representing singers, the chorus and

Edward johnson, general manager
Of the Met since 1885, said simply
that he was going on a vacation.
