ORCHESTRA BOARD ENDS WAGE TANGLE Body of Musicians, Headed by Kindler, Awards Increases to All Players , TO SETTLE ALL DISPUTES A permanent committee of sevcu players in the Philadelphia Orchestra will, from now ou, serve ns n sort of arbitration board in nny differences on the alary question which may arise between the men and tho management. Yesterday afternoon, nt a conference with Arthur Judson, business manager of the Orchestra, the committee wns made permanent. Hans Kindler is its present head. After tho conference, n compromise salary plan was announced, wheteby nn increase of $5 a week will be guar anteed tho lesser members ot the or chestra, giving them n minimum of $50 a week. There is a sliding scale of in creased pay for the others, uccording to merit and years of service. To Stop Outside Raids This step has been tnken to counter raids on the orchestra by organiza tions in other cities. Some of the orchestra's best players are certain to go, but it is hoped the compromise plan on advances will hold others who nre wnverlng. However, Richard Griegcr. second bassoon, said that the rise of ?." the management had arranged to give to those commanding a minimum salary would not be satisfactory to him. "I asked for n substantial rise in pay," he said, "aud such n rise ns ?5 n week would not hold me. I would like to continue playing withj the or chestra if they will pay me what I want." With the formation of the committee with power to act for tho men Mr. Jud son believes he has made a permanent and Kntisfnetory arrnnccincnt.
