International Head Replies Regarding Stage Hand Fray Meanwhile Local Will Drop Matter Until Dyer's Successor Is
Named
Still determined to "fight it out if it takes all summer," seem to be the attitude of both the University and the school. Three weeks after the music week squabble which brought to a head the dispute between two parties that has been brewing all year.
When the concert of the Minnesota symphony orchestra met union interference and had to be shifted at the State Capitol, the district ditto to the Lawrence high school, much to the incomvenience of several thousand patrons, Chancellor E. H. Lindley expressed the administration's concern that "the University will not yield."
Soundings of opinion among the members of the union revealed a no less determined attitude on the other hand. The board contended that it was only through orders of the international headquarter that the disturbance be best remedied.
"Up to Local," Says Head
The editor of the Kansas thereupon wrote a letter to the International Alamo Association, asking for union members referred, and the following reply was received, expressing exhilaration.
"Acknowledging receipt of you, May 2nd, concerning controversy between our local union at Lawrence, and our local union at Frasier Hall, in reply I would advise that I am not familiar enough with the local situation to give competent opinion. Our local union or self-autonomy basis on all affairs that are internal in character, and the authority of the International office on home or inter-office only. Wherever our local unions feel they have reasonable cause for controversy and satisfactory adjustment to the theater or enterprise as unfair to them and request through their International office the issuance of what we prohibit any traveling member of our international organization from rendering any service on the premises that such call is effective against. This prohibition must be the assistance of the American Federation of Musicians, who take the same stand in conformity with a trade association of the two International organizations.
Kansan Writes Headquarters
Sinclair Here Half Year
"In reply to your last two paragraphs, I would advise that if the local union is agreeable to excluding campus entertainments by the student body, I would call for a national Road Call, there would be no objection from the international office.
