A tilt of 25% for all Canadian musicians on commetcial radio programs, and 33% on station sus- talnersj is the current demand of Walter Murdoch, head of the Ca- nadian musicians’ union. Sugges^t- ed pay increases will be fought by independent stations across Can- ada but particularly by the three networks of the Canadian Broad- castinif CorpV, latter perpetually in the red under the present State- owned system., Murdoch takes the stand that musicians bn radio Station payrolls have not had. a raise In 11 years but that Other radio personnel, from actors and announcers to en^ gineers, have received union in- creases. Meanwhile, Murdoch is making a Canadian junket to the Coast, during which he will line up local unions of musicians for the radio pay tilt. He will present his findings when the Petrillo hierarchy hold their mid-suminer convention this year* Canadian musicians in radio are now being paid $6 a half-hour on audiehce or sustaining Shows; $8 on commercial shows. They may play several radio shows a day. Murdoch wants new Tate to apply to all originating stations across Canada; but danger is that the CBC, with its three Canadian ria- tiohaV networks, may cut down bn musicians’ usage.
