CONTINUANCE OF
FREE CONCERTS
ASSURED PUBLIC

NEW YORK. - A major public
gain resulting from the accord
reached between the phonograph re-
cording industry and the AFL's
American Federation of Musicians is
the continuation, subject to Wash
ington approval of the trusteeship
plan, of a program that has brought
more than 100000 worth of free
music across the continent.
\ trustee yet to be selected will
hcnccforth administer the fund. The
public in the United States and Can
ada will benefit through free music in
parks. halls and many worthy insti-
tutions.
The original plan. which encountered
obstacles under recently enacted fed
eral labor legislation. was first pro-
posed on a nationwide scale by James
{. Petrillo. president Of the Federation,
early in 1913. In its first year OF op-
Grafton. l9l7, the administrative cos
wa, less than per cent. Costs for the
current year are not expected to be
substantially greater.
The fund created under contracts
first signed in September. 1913. and
later extended to cover the entire re-
cording industry constituted a land
mark in the field OF labor relations. It
was the first time such a plan was
used to preserve a craft against threat
cncd extinction by reason OF unhridIcd
use OF reproduced music.
Payments into the fund Of a small
royalty on each record by the manuiac-
turers did not result in a price increase
10 the consumer.
The money collected was used solely
TO furnish free music for such worthy
causes as veterans hospitals. tcen-age
dances III programs for combating
juvenile delinquency, concerts in pub
lie parks and auditoriums, etc. 1t was
widely hailed as one Of the major cul-
tural contributions OF our time.
In l947. the expenditure OF 81 ,444,70(
Tor these purposes supplied l0,764 per-
iormances and employed Isl ,4S2 mar
units at local union scales. Music was
supplied in as states, 7 Canadian prov
inces and the territory OF Hawaii. This
years program will have a similar
scope.
After Pctrillo became president Of
the international union in 1910. he wa.
directed by a unanimous vote Of thu
l94l convention to call a halt to all re.
cording activities. The supporters 0
this action included the representative
Of the locals whose members make tn,
bulk OF all records manufactured. TIL,

The first resumption OF record making
came in September, 1913, when a nun

formula and agreed to a contrac

since the first of the year. Durin'
