Glad Stokowski

A treaty of peace has been signed; the orchestral war at Philadelphia (TIME, April 21, May 12) is over. Honor and pocketbooks--both are satisfied. Independent announcements of the settlement were issued by Arthur Judson, general manager of the orchestra, and Thomas M. Rivel, president of the local union of the American Federation of Musicians.

It was understood that the players would not get so large an increase in the minimum salary as they demanded ($75 per week), but that they had achieved a greater measure of control over the doings of the organization.

Conductor Leopold Stokowski is happy. His band finally saved, his job secure, his men merrily signing their new contracts, he will go to Paris for the Summer. And in October his great jubilee season (the orchestra's 25th) will open as planned.
