13 THE MORNIXG OREGOJflAN. TUESDAY, JUNE 22, 1915. STAGE HANDS MAY BE ASKED TO STRIKE Musicians May Call on Affili ated Unions to Help in Dis pute With Managers. THEATERS "STAND PAT' Abolition of Orchestra Discussed by Several and Attempt to Do Without Music Is Proposed. Men Defend Position Taken. Efforts to call a strike of the theatri cal stage employes doubtless will be attempted by the Musicians' Mutual As sociation, if the Portland theatrical managers persist in. their intentions to discharge all musicians employed in their orchestras. The theatrical men have given the musicians the customary two weeks' notice of - discharge, and the musicians eay that they are prepared to quit at the end of that time. The managers' action followed submission by the mu sicians of a sliding scale fixing a maxi mum number of men to be employed In each theater after September 1. The musicians justified this proposed scale on the ground that it has been adopted in a number of other cities. It provides a minimum number of men in the first place, but permits the theaters to employ a lesser number if they in crease the wages of the remaining mu sicians in fixed ratios named in the schedule. Haucen Rcfue PnptuL This Droposal met with Instant dis favor by the managers. They held a series of meetings, and on Sunday de cided that they would oust all union musicians. But their troubles promise not to end there. The musicians are affiliated with the Central Labor Council and with the American Federation of Labor. They have a separate and close-working al liance with the stage employes union, and it is reported that they are plan ning to call a strike of the stage em ployes in the event that the theatrical managers employ nonunion men in their orchestras. The managers, however, have given no intimation of their intentions fur ther than discharging the union musi cians. It is possible that they will try to get along without orchestras. George B. Jeffrey, president of the local union of the Musical Mutual As sociation, declares that the Portland theaters are alone in their opposition to the minimum-number-of-men rule. Others Recognize, Thry Say. "At the recent convention of our or ganization at San Francisco," he said yesterday, "a representative requested the convention on behalf of the pro ducers and managers to request the different locals to keep their minimums as low as possible, and not to raise them at this time, on account of the un settled condition in the theatrical world caused by the war and the competition of the moving-picture theaters. Thi will go to show that the principal man agers of the United States recognize the minimum number of men law as a working condition. Up to the first week In September the musicians have sim ply insisted that the managers adhere to their old number; that is, five in the Heilig, five in the Baker, six in the BmpresB, six in Pantages, eight for the Orpheum, three for the Lyric and five at the house at Eleventh and Morrison streets. Scale Proponed Defended. "As regards the sliding scale, which has been submitted to the managers, to go into effect the first week in Sep tember, I can only say that it is based Upon the principle that, with our past experience, we feel that we cannot do satisfactory work either in justice to the public or to ourselves with less men than this standard calls for, and, though, of course, we do not say in any way that we will not work with less men, still we feel that when any num ber below this standard is used it en tails just that much more work and strain on the men who are left, and it is only in justice to them that they should receive extra compensation." G. L. BAKER SPENT $269 William Adams' Report Shows Ex penditures of $639. To elect George L. Baker to the po sition of City Commissioner cost Mr. Baker $1:69.15. and the Baker Booster Club $100, according to the statement of expenditures filed yesterday with City Auditor Barbur. The statement of William Adams as filed shows that he expended $639.30. The Non-Partisan League spent $79 for its part in the campaign. Today is the last day for the filing of the statements of expenditures and the statements of the source of the money expended. So far the majority of the candidates have not filed their statements. Failure to do so by 5 o'clock tonight will subject the candi dates to arrest for violation of the corrupt practices act. This same ap plies to expenditures for campaigning for or against measures.

Numbers of Other Entertaining Acts Are on Programme That Is Delight to His Audiences "Everybody," an allegorical playlet with a message that all can understand, is the headline attraction at the Em press this week. The offering is well staged. Is full of epigramatic lines and is presented in a way that makes it one of the biggest vaudeville hits of the year. There are four scenes. In the first, "the luncheon hour," Every body deserts work for Pleasure and Shirk. In "the pleasure hour" Everybody plays the races, is deserted by Luck, and the third scene finds him in the depths of misfortune. The final journey back to Work and Honesty brings to the hero, Fortune. The playlet is along the line of "Everywoman," but is, perhaps, wider in Its appeal. John Lester takes the role cleverly, and each of the 12 mem bers of the cast gives a faithful Inter pretation of his part. The keynote of the act found in the lines is "Much of life is largely what we make it." A beautiful girl, a genius with the violin and a- vocalist of great ability is Elizabeth Cutty. One of the triumphs of her act is her interpretation of "The Mocking Bird." An Irish lullaby is another gem. George Yeomans delighted everyone in the big audiences yesterday with his bunch of original nonsense in the form of a mirth-provoking monologue. George got several encores, which he well de served. Shaw and Lee, two nifty dancers, dapper fellows in smart attire, gave an exhibition of lively steps and received their share of appreciation. They are nimble and graceful actors. A brilliantly staged feature is the act of the two acrobats, the Ahrens, who come direct from the New York Hippodrome. The movies are especially funny, and round out the dandy bill.
