Be Discussed.

musicians, from the hill-billy to the symphony artist, are coming to| Indianapolis—but nary a one of them will bring his instrument or eyen play a note. They won't ‘here until .June 10, but right now a little violin player and a trap drummer are directing arrangements for the influx. The 700 will be here strictly on business; they’ll| attend the 45th annual conventipn of the American Federation of Musicians at which

they will seek solutions to at least five problems which are sour notes to their profession and livelihood. Leading convention plans are A. Hammerschlag, business agent of Indianapolis Local 3 (he’s the violin player) and John H. Goll, local president. ’

700 Locals [Send Delegates ‘They estimated that wives and

others accompanying the delegates will swell the number of visitors here for the six-day convention to between 1200 and 1500. - More than 700 locals in the United States and Canada will be| represented. ] It will be the third time the con"vention has been held here. Indian- * apolis had the [Federations first in 1896 and another in 1903. This year’s conclave will help the local celebrate its 50th anniversary. When it entertained the first convention, the local had about 25 members. It| observes its silver jubilee with 50. : Joseph N. Weber, New York, Federation president, will preside at his 37th convention here at 73. While musicians are expected to attend—on business only —convention officials also expect William Green, president of the

tion is affiliated. Headquarters

Hotel will be convention headquarters, but sessions will be held in the Indiana Ball Room because, of the method of seating delegates. An open floor is needed because delegates sit at long tables. Every, delegate gets a printed copy of every resolution and since some of the documents are as big as two feet square, large (accommodations are needed. Sessions will be open : the public. | One of the major problems to be acted upon is sound recording for the movies. Mr. Hammerschlag said Federation statistics show that only 300 musicians |in-Hollywaod provid music for pictures which are sho all over the country and take mu sicians out of| the local theaters.

Radio| Problem Too

- Another problem is radio employ+ ment. The musicians also want t work out a plan whereby they ma benefit from records made by on band and then cast into thousands and played all over the country. Arrangements are to be reached on the playing of traveling band which deprive the locals of work. Social security is to be studied. Problems before the Indianapolis local are the same as those before ‘other locals, Mr. Hammerschlag said, and action taken will be beneficial locally. : | _ “Our organization is for the pro- ~ tection of musicians in the matter of wages and conditions,” he said. “Impossible as it seems to many people, the vacation of music is the sole means of livelihood to many musicians,

Deplores Exploitation | “Persons who would ere sma

condemn any policy whereby amateur tradesmen in other fields woul render service free of charge or fora very small pittance, think nothin of not only wanting, but practicall demanding the free services of musicians. | “Unable to services, they

secure free professional turn to the high school and amateur prganizations. If a pro- . test is made [the union is critici as a usurper of gonshitusions! rights.” Mr. Hammerschlag, adding that the union here has donated servic to community enterprises, prai children seeking musical education, but deplored the trend to exploit their talents at the expense of depriving professions] musicians ot needed employment. A “The amateur must stay in his place and npt compete with those with whom music is a bread winner,” he said. :

Wishard Sr. rode horseback when he started practice in Southport with his father after graduation from the Indiana Medical College and the Miami Medical College at Cincinnati. i Always active in his field in addition to his regular practice, Dr. Wishard was responsible for obtaining a city appropriation in 1883 for the building of the first City Hospital of any size.

When he accepted the chair, he further fitted himself for the task with post graduate work in New York, London and Berlin. In his work with the medical society, Dr. Wishard in 1897 wrote the present Indiana Medical Law. Before its enactment there were seven medical schools in the state, but the new regulations eventually resuited in the closing of all but Indiana. While Dr. Wishard divides his time between his home at 2050 N. Delaware St. and his office at 1711 N.

Dr. Taylor specialized in pediatrics from the beginning of his practice. The chair of pediatrics was created for him at Indiana Medical College from which he
