Ban on Army Bands Raised by Federation of Musicians
Detroit May 2 The American Federation of Musicians voted to meet in Boston next year and modified the standing resolution barring army bands from parading. Army bands will be allowed if the union’s entire band supply is exhausted. The executive board report approving Walter Damrasch of the New York Symphony over an importation case was received. Delegates backed a universal band uniform and rejected biennial sessions. A ninety nine year contract claim by a band director was cited as an example in debates. The Mattoon Illinois offer for a home for aged musicians was sent back for referendum. The universal initiation fee was also set for referendum.
