BOH SIDES 'STAND FIRM
NEITHER THEATERS MR MUSI
CIANS INCLINED TO YIELD.
Managers' Association Backs Up
Orpbeam's Resistance to Demand
for Higher Scale.
Unless the Musicians' Union recedes
from Its demands for an Increased scale
for all players at the Orpheum, all the
theaters In Portland in less, than two
-Weeks will dispense with orchestras and
substitute pianos. The Orpheum opened
last night and, rather than accede to the
' demands of the musicians, the only" music
from the pit waa that furnished by a
piano. Manager J. W. Considlne .had
promised an orchestra of ten pieces, but
he refused to grant the wages demanded
by the members of the union, ft sub
stituted a piano Instead. Two weeks' no
tice has been served on the orchestras in
the other theaters of the city that the
advance In- wages will not be granted.
Four daya of that period have elapsed
and when the two weeks are up the or
chestras In all of the playhouses will be
dismissed. By this action about, 50 men
will be thrown out of employment.
At the opening of the Orpheum Jast
night, George L. Baker, president of the
Theatrical Managers' Association, ad
dressed the audience in explanation of the
absence of the promised orchestra. He
aid that the members of the association
regarded the attempt of the musicians
to raise the scale as against the one play
house, ' the Orpheum, unwarranted, and
for that reason, rather than submit to
the discrimination, the managers of the
other theaters had decided to etand by
the Orpheum management and unless the
musicians would agree to a settlement or
the controversy on what the' managers
regarded a reasonable basis, all of the
other theaters would resort to piano
music and release their orchestras.
Mr. Baker said that for years repeated
efforts had been made unsuccessfully to
secure for this, city the attractions con
trolled by the Orpheum, and that now,
. when Mr. Considlne had undertaken the
venture, the action of the musicians In
seeking to Increase their wage scale at
this resort was not advisable. He Insist
ed that If the musicians had made, a
study of conditions locally they would
have recognised the Injustice of their de
mands and abided by the scale already In
effect. He -maintained that It Was hot
fair to compare the wafces paid musicians
In Portland to those paid by the Orpheum
aianeaement In cities like San. Francisco.
In their fight to enforce the payment
of higher wares by the Orpheum people
the musicians have been counting on the
support of the stage mechanics, who are
thoroughly organised Into a union of
their own. But at a meeting yesterday
this organization decided to keep its
hands off the fight between the musicians
and the theatrical managers.
At a meeting yesterday the musicians
by a vote of S3 to 27 decided not to re
cede from the new scale of wages de
manded of the Orpheum management.
George L. Baker, representing the me
trical managers, attended the meetmg
and Insisted that It was an Inopportune
time for the players to demand an ar
bitrary advance in wages. He explained
that all local managers were willing to
pay the same scale of wages that pre
vailed in other Pacific Northwest cities,
and pointed out the fact that every tne
ater was employing aa many musicians
as the business would Justify, consider
ing that the year had been one of tne
poorest in the history of these resorts,
while the prospects for the future were
not bright by reason of the fact that It
was Presidential year.
- The musicians are demanding an In
crease of from $27 to $35 a week for what
are designated side men and a raise of
from $33 to $46 a week for orchestra
leaders, for an orchestra at the Orpheum.
In view of the position taken by "the musi
cians, John W. Considlne, who owns the
Orpheum, Grand and Star Theaters, yes
terday declared that while Tie had origi
nally Intended supplying the Orpheum
with a 10-plece orchestra, under no cir
cumstances now would he employ more
than seven men even should the musicians
adjust their differences with him.:
Members of the musicians' union last
night said they Would prepare a detailed
statement In answer to the contentions of
the theatrical managers and give the
same out for publication some time 'this
week.
