BVentS Wilmington, Saturday, Sept. 20, 1975 11 Musicians close 8 Broadway shows Claymont plans parade llllllliPl llttf cussion group, Diocese 17th and Union Mid-City Group, 1212 Market St. LECTURE "POMPEII: GRAFFITI AND GRANDEUR' will be discussed tomorrow night at 8 In Padua Academy Theater, 10th St. at Rodney. Speaker: Dr.

David G. Or, assistant professor, University of NEW YORK (UPI) Theater negotiators met yesterday in an effort to end a strike that has stilled the sound of music on Broadway. The strike by union musicians forced eight broadway musicals, including such hits as "Pippin," "Grease," "A Chorus Line" and "Chicago," to turn away audiences. Dramatic productions were not affected. Representatives of the American Federation of Musicians and the League of New York.

Theaters and Producers met with Vincent McDonnell, chairman of the state mediation board, trying to find an agreement to end the strike. Mayor Abraham Beame asked McDonnell to step in after the walkout by some 300 union members closed the theaters Thursday night. "The Broadway theater is more than a multimillion dollar industry, it is a priceless asset to the city of New York," the mayor said. Gerald Schoenfeld, chairman of the league's negotiating committee, said refunds or exchanges would be made for tickets sold to canceled performances. Union lawyer I.

Philip Sipser said wages were the key issue in the dispute, with the league offering a $17.50 increase in the first year of a new three-year contract and $10 each in the second and third years. He said musicians currently average $290 a week and work and average of 10 weeks per show. Sipser said the union demanded an average of $380 a week the first year. In the second year salaries would jump to $405 and to $425 the third year.
