Indianapolis Orchestra Cancels 1966 67 Season
The Indianapolis Symphony Society cancelled its 1966 67 season including a 23 city tour after failing to reach a 5 year contract with the American Federation of Musicians. Mayor Barton urged union members during a visit to Local 3 headquarters as negotiations stalled over pay and contract length. The New York booking firm warned engagements would be cancelled if no decision by Wednesday. The strike began six months ago threatening Ford Foundation grant of 2.5 million dollars. Tyler Solomon directed the symphony which would have started its 37th season.
