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. r Amusements What Mm Pre Agent Boy Wrestles Huge Ape at The Oak.
