Federation to spread increased employment as widely as possible throughout its jurisdiction in the United States and Canada, and provided further, that the aggregate expenditure for staff musicians by Affiliates as a group shall in no event be less than Three Million ($3,000,000) Dollars per annum.
6. It is the desire of the Federation Board and of the Negotiating Committee of the Affiliates to agree upon basic terms and conditions and provisions in so far as staff musicians are concerned which will be used as part of each individual agreement to be executed by the individual Affiliate stations and the respective Local Unions affiliated with the American Federation of Musicians.
All other conditions under which musicians are to be employed by the individual Affiliate stations are to be negotiated between the individual Affiliate stations and the respective Local Unions.
7. The Negotiating Committee of the Affiliates has devised a formula for calculating a quota of expenditure to be allocated to each Affiliate in order to increase by not less than One Million Five Hundred Thousand ($1,500,000.00) Dollars per annum, the expenditures for staff musicians by Affiliates as a group as compared with such aggregate expenditures during the base year September 1, 1936, to August 31st, 1937, and bring the same up to a total in excess of Three Million ($3,000,000.00) Dollars per annum, no Affiliate to reduce its expenditures for staff musicians below that made by it during the base year. The Negotiating Committee has applied this formula and submitted to the Federation Board the figures so derived for the allocated quota of annual expenditure for staff musicians to be recommended to each Affiliate under the terms of this Plan of Settlement. This allocation has been approved by the Federation Board.

9. Since it is the declared intention of the Federation of Musicians not to perform their services for broadcasting stations unless the Affiliate stations and the network Key stations as herein defined make agreements satisfactory to the Federation, members of the Federation will not perform as herein outlined unless by the deadline date set forth herein agreements shall have been executed by Affiliate and Key stations satisfactory both as to form and number to the Federation. By a satisfactory number is meant substantially all of the Affiliate and Key stations as demanded by the Federation.
It is understood that no contract will become binding either upon the Federation or any of its Local Unions or upon the Affiliate signing same until the aforementioned satisfactory number of contracts shall have been reached, executed and actually exchanged.
