Show A PROTEST tfJiOAI MUSICIANS They Say there is no Necessity or Justice In Importing Players There is a lack of harmony in musical circles This time it may as well be stated the trouble does not arise from any action of the musicians A prominent musician who was seen yesterday unburdened himself as followst I dont think the railway people are acting act-ing as they should towards us It is conceded con-ceded that no city in America of the same population can furnish as many talented musicians as Salt Lake canhnd that being the case why should the railway people find i necessary to employ outside out-side musicians for their summer resorts re-sorts Here at Garfield Beach we find the baud engaged to consist of nearly all strangers here and now we hear it rumored that the Rio Grande Western is to send t Denver for musicians And all this in face of the fact that there is no end to the talented men lying around willing and anxious to go to work What I would like to know is why should strangers get tho preference over our home musicians I cannot be urged I that it is because they are are men of more I ability neither can it be said that the i proper material cannot be had here lOn no public occasion when charity has been the object have the Salt Lake musicians musi-cians ever been found lacking when called L upon They have not only contributed their time and talents but in many cases I have of necessity gone down into cses their L pocket in order to respond to calls that have been made upon them I the musical talent necessary for the railway companies was not to be obtained obtaned at home you would hear no complaints from me But under the circumstances I believe that the public will say with us that we have been unfairly treated |
