The forthcoming concert and operatic
tour which Pietro Mascagni, the Italian
composer, will make in the United States
is not without its complications, as his
managers ip this country have Just been
advised by cable that Mascagni contem-
plates legal suit against the directors
OF the Rossini Conservatory, at Pesaro.
The reason for this action is the out
come OF the attitude of the board OF III
rectors regarding Mascagni's coming
tour. The president OF the board has as
serted emphatically that he would not
consent to the composers professional
visit to this country. II is understood
that this official, for some reason. has Il
special objection to America. Maseagui
is incensed that his freedom of move
ment should be interfered with. and de-
clares that he will go when and where
ne pleases. He further AYERS that if he
is not reinstated he will leave Italy Tor

do not think him serious in his deelara-

certain of his bitterness toward the di-
rectors for the treatment which has
been accorded him. Mascagni will. how
ever, fight for his rights in the famous
school founded by Rossini, and viii

antasonism which its board Of directors
may see fit to offer.

great Napoleon moved him" in Corsica and
Germany after he strobe over the battle
fields of the Punic wars.

he is unless you see him face to face.

brains?"
''It was t. he replied. with a chuckle of

'.And did you not call Parliament "a free

SETTLEMENT" FAR OFF.

of Coal Questions.

of Coal Questions.
New York Commercial.
According to the general consesus of re-
ports from the anthracite region the princi-
pal objections among the strikers TO the
arbitration proposition of the operators
were that it contains no provision assuring
work to all the strikers and contemplates a
delay of several months. Meantime. the
argument was. the striking miners having
returned to work on the old terms. would
be working at the old rates without any
assurance of betterment in their wages
or general condition, and with no under
standing as to exactly when the new rates
If any changes are to be made at all
would become operative.
These reports, together with the turn that
newspaper discussion has taken in some
quarters, indicate current notion that the
commission Is to take up the whole matter
of arbitration on the general question once
at issue between the strikers and the coal
companies. The operators proposition is
not susceptible of such an Interpretation.
1t distinctly ''reaffirmed'' the operators
original offer made at the White House
conference OF October 3 that the operators
would take up at each colliery any alleged
grievance and consider 1t fairly and adjust
it IL it proved to be grievance, and in the
event of failure 10 make a satisfactory
adjustment the questions at issue should be
submitted to the final decision of the judge
of the Court OF Common Pleas of the dis
trict in which the colliery is located In
other words, there are no issues between
the operators and the u. NJ. w. strikers.
The former do not and never will "recog-
nize' the latter. They will treat with their
own employees directly-that is. each COM
pany, firm or Individual with the men en-
ployed at each particular colliery.
The only essential change in the present
proposition from the terms of the first is
the personnel OF the arbitrators. After re
Affirming the original offer IL says:
1--WE suggest that commission be ap-
pointed by the President of the United
States on he Is willing TO perform that pub
lie service) to whom shall be referred all
companies and their own employees, whether
they belong TO union or not, and the de-
cision of that commission shall be accepted
by u.s."
Presumably the questions that will arise
between the 147,oo0 workmen and the sew
enty-five operating companies and firms
will not be uniform at all the collieries.
Each colliery Is a separate proposition by
itself under the terms of the arbitration
agreement. The commission muss sit in
judgment on each disagreement separately
IL seems to US. The miners might. OF course
get together and make the issues at ali the
collieries approximately uniform; but can
union and nonunion men be depended upon
to pool their issues in that way?
II may take year or more 10 get through
the whole list OF grievances" for the
operators are to consider them first, and
only lin the event of failure TO make a
satisfactory adjustment" is the commission
TO be called upon to arbitrate.

THE NEW PARTY.
The Pops Predominated and
Dictated the Platform OF the
New Political Organization.

Louisville, April Under the
nameuf the Allied Peoples Party
OF the United States, u new poll
tica] organization was formed
here composed of reform ele.
ments opposed to the demo-
cratic and republican parties.
The platform of the new organ
ization embodies the platform
adopted at the conference held in
Kansas City last September
when the call for the convention
was issued ''to unite the reform
forces against plutocracy.
It reafirms the spirit of the
declaration of principles adopted
at the national convention of the
peoples party in st. Louis,
Omaha and Cincinnati, and de-
mands the initiative and referen-
dunn and government ownership
of all utilities as it's principal
planks.
The white peoples party,
fusion populists, sosialists, re-
ferendum league, union labor
party, public ownership party
Of ST. Louis, prohibition party
and United Christian party were
represented on the floor of the
convention by accredited or by
volunteer delegates. Only two
national organizations, the peo-
ple's party and public owner
ship party, had given their dele
gates any authority to form an
alliance.
It is the hope, however. of the
allied peoples party that the re-
form forces will later decide to
unite with the new organization.
The convention was practically
dominated by the peoples party.
At times discussions of a lively
nature took place and for q while
it seemed as though the move
ment was about to fail owing to
the unwillingness of the popu.
lists to make any concessions to
the other reform forces present.
