One of the rules of the Denver Musicians' Union
is that the members are to receive 50 per cent over
the standard wages if they are asked to play within
range of a radio microphone so that the tune may be
broadcasted. The municipal band will soon start
playing at the various parks, the city paying the
wages, but then the city officials suggested that the
program be broadcasted so those who are unable to
come to the parks may still hear the music. Cooper-
ating with the city fathers is the General Electric
Company's big KOA radio broadcasting station,
which agrees to pick up the program and send it
along.
The union musicians objected to the broadcasting,
and when the city officials stated that they could not
see any reason for such a rule, as the broadcasting"
places no extra work on the band, Henry Waldman,
president of the union, replied:
"There is another angle. Last winter I made a
personal investigation after the music of a local
dance was broadcasted on New Year's Eve. I found
that at least two other places, which ordinarily hired
their own orchestra, had saved this added expense by
picking up the radio broadcasting of the first
orchestra. There alone were 18 men or so thrown
out of employment. The musicians and the musi-
cians' union do not hold any grudge against any-
body and we are not fighting with anybody. When
KOA started broadcasting we made arrangements to
give them an orchestra at the regular scale, but when
it came to the advertising angle of radio broadcast-
ing, when theaters and dance halls broadcast the
music of their orchestras, the musicians voted to add
the extra charge. These places are paying this.
"From the viewpoint of discrimination alone, the
musicians could not play for the city cheaper for ten
weeks each summer than we must charge the man-
agers who hire us all the year round."
Presto's correspondent agrees with President Wald-
man. "He who dances to the fiddle must pay."
