Automatic Music Operators
Ass’n., Inc.
Operators of music machines
in greater New York after
about six weeks of preliminary
conferences definitely organiz­
ed Tuesday, November 9th at
the Broadway Central Hotel
under the name of Automatic
Music Operators Association,
Inc.
Lee Rubin )w, who com­
mands the respect of local coin
machine men because of his
sound judgment and construc­
tive activity in other organiza­
tions was elected president.
William Suesens was elected
Vice President. His many years
experience as an operator of
music machines exclusively
qualifies him to lead and guide
the association in the right di­
rection.
William Alberg, because of
his undoubted integrity was
elected Treasurer.
Alfred Bloom, known in New
York as King Al of Harlem and
nationally as a writer of trade
journal articles on music ma­
chine operation, was elected
secretary.
The Board of Directors was
completed by the elections of
Messrs. Bogin, Dandio, Fein-
stein, Wasserman and Tucker,
whose diversified experiences
will undoubtedly command the
respect and support of mem­
bership.
The first act of the member­
ship after the officers were in­
stalled was to employ a counsel,
Sidney H. Levine, whose activ­

AGE
ities in the music machine busi­
ness are well known to every
operator in this district.
A constructive program of
proposed activities was outlin­
ed ; and it was apparent that
the organization would be con­
ducted on a democratic basis
and not be dominated by any
faction or self advancement
group.
In every respect it was a sat­
isfactory event. Men who had
been bitterly fighting each oth­
er less than a week ago, shook
hands and promised to forget
the past. Two men who had
not spoken to each other for al­
most a year, sat together and
discussed the association’s prob­
lems in the most friendly man­
ner.
If this spirit continues, mem­
bership in the AUTOMATIC
MUSIC OPERATORS ASSOCI­
ATION, INC., is going to be a
valuable asset.

Our Association has for years
been a militant force in pre­
venting legislation adverse to
the coin operated machine in­
dustry. We played an import­
ant part in defeating the bills
which are herein enclosed.
We hope that other operators’
organizations will follow suit
and, by taking a determined
stand, will swing public senti­
ment to our business.
