THE MUSIC TRADE REVIEW
Unions at War.
War was declared Wednesday between the
musical unions of this city, which threatens
a split in the Musical Mutual Protective
Union, which has a membership of 3,000.
The trouble began a year ago, when the
trades union element in the Musical Protec-
tive Union formed an organization known
as Local No. 41 of the American Federation.
This action was taken because the leaders
of the Musical Mutual Protective Union were
against affiliating with the regular trades
unions. The members who formed Local
41 applied for recognition for their union in
the Central Federated Union and were ad-
mitted.
In the meantime the Musical Mutual Pro-
tective Union gave its members in Local 41
warnings that there would be trouble if they
kept up their trades union affiliations. The
climax came Wednesday when the Mutual
Protective Union put up a notice at its head-
quarters, Ninety-first Street and Third Av-
enue, that all of its members in Local 41 who
did not leave that body before next Tuesday
will be suspended.
There are 1,400 members of Local No. 41,
T,OOO of whom belong to the Musical Mutual
Protective. The local union will fight the
suspension order in the courts. It will be-
sides make a fight for the control of the
theater orchestras, and apply for co-operation
to the theatrical unions.
A member of Local Assembly 41 said that
the fight would involve not only New York
but every large city in the United States.
