In a picture house it was decreed that the orchestra should not play more than 40 minutes out of one hour, or over 30 minutes if continuous, and that musicians for operas, musical shows and burlesque should receive $4.50 for a matinee and $5.50 for night preformances. For dramatic plays musicians ask for the new scale with not less than $3 for matinees and $4 for night performances. If back stage playing was required per man was demanded andlhe hours for daily playing were not to exceed five hours, exclusive of rehearsals, $1.50 for every hour overtime and time and a half for Sunday work. In a letter to the officers of the local union the board of directors of the Ithaca Theater Company, owners of the Crescent and Strand, stated it was impossible to consider any increase whatsoever, owing to the general decrease of attendance at the performances. On Thursday all musicians at the Strand and Crescent Theaters received two weeks' notice to quit and it is the assertion of the union men that the theaters are planning to use non-union musicians.

William A. Dillon, president of the Ithaca Theater Company, today denied that all theater musicians had been given notice of discharge and, commenting on the wage increase sought by the musicians, stated that the increase would amount to $1,000 a year per man or $12,000 for the 12 men which is the usual number carried.

In a statement this morning, Mr. McManus declared that he had arranged for a joint meeting of the citizen's committee named by the mayor, the traction officials and representatives of the strikers this afternoon.

At that session the whole situation is to be threshed out and he will endeavor to bring about a settlement which will result in the operation of the cars. While he would not make any comments on the possible outcome of the conference this afternoon, indications were this morning that it would end in a deadlock between the two factions despite the desire of the public to have car service resumed. The men are declared to be firm in their request for not less than 47 cents an hour as part of a sliding wage scale, and the traction officials have stated that they cannot go about 46 cents.
