Our trouble with Drew and Hall, and
lastly our lockout from the Times Union,
has but one meaning to we Of the
printer ilk. 1t is the same old story
from the corporation side-"an endeavor
to run the business of the paper" etc.
It is the same old story from the union
lists standpoint-an endeavor to right
the wrongs of their fellow-workers and
brothers.
Fortunately for the upper dog-the
corporations-they can state their side
of all questions in their own language
through their own megaphonous mouth
pieces to a gullible public, and the most
of the readers of those papers believe,
and in this belief condemn the union
men, however much RIGHT the union
men may have on their side.
/ merely state these facts that the
readers of this most excellent newspaper
may see that we care not to indulge in
idle words; will not lay aside q noble

pose-to throw mud at our enemies and
those who seek to crush us out of ex.
istence because we dare ask of them our
rights--yea, even demand that which is
ours by every law that bears the stamp
Of liberty upon its face.
We look upon the Times.Union as
mere link in the chain with which we
have to contend for an existence. That
the management of that paper Is wholly
responsible for the lockout does not have
the least impression Of truth upon our
minds, because we knOw-and all the
money world knows we know--that this
little link has been selected to grasp
the union cog, to break our gear and
stop our progress If possible. Therefore,
it is not a local fight alone. 1t is one
in which the whole labor world is in
tensely interested and will stand shout

our position clearly before the readers of

Were the whole people familiar with

However, be it said to the shame of
we sovereign Americans, the most of us

death struggle for existence-are here

sang to Zabritskis accompaniment and several times
his voice could be heard above the conversation,
although there were nearly hundred talking and
nc was the only one singing.
After the music was all finished the little basso
and his humble friend, Zabritskl went away without
word lrom the lard lady, because she was talking
blue streak to aristocrat from above Ffty.nlnth
Street, who was as freshly aristocratic as a newly
minted coin, and for the same reason-she belonged
to the coinage of 1908.
But the butler gave Brown twenty .Ave dollars

Time works miracles, and some time later the
lard lady gave an evening concert, and having by
rare good luck met the Countess Sagoni she invited
her, and the Countess Sagoni, having fondncss for
freaks, accepted the invitation One must relax some
times.
The rich lard lady had number of singers who
waited in the anteroom, but her piece de resistance
was no less lion than that great Hungarian pianist
(born in Irving place., lgnace Zabritski. She had
engaged him through Herr Wolfram Waldvogel and
| happen to know that he was to receive five hun.
dred dollars for playing once.
Now If she had had a memory for faces she
would have recognized him as soon as he came in
and yet don't know. You see Herr Waldvogel, who
is real German gentleman, blond six feet tall, and
with the manners Of an Austrian noble, came with
Zabritsk and he presented him to the lard lady with
tremendous impressiveness and Zabritsk put on his
most exclusive air and seemed about to die of ennui
vi spoC CnuJ IeJcncu the lara Iady oil right
(if you will pardon such free use OF English.)
But the thing that settled IL was when the
Countess Sagoni went up to Zabritski, whom she
knew very well, and chatted most bohemianly with
him in very choice Italian After that every one in
the room was hauled up and presented to him. and
then he sat down and played pathetic thing by
Tschaikowsky, and many people who knew il was
pathetic were moved to tears-right in the midst Of
their conversation-and after it was all over the
lard lady shook hands with Zabritslli most effusvey
and asked him If he knew any other artists Of "dear
old Hungary who could do turn She also said snc
adored talent" And Zabritski remembered his sense
of humor just in time, and told her he had COM
patriot named Braunski, who mad glorious bass
voice. and he thought he could get him to sing for
two hundred dollars as great favor, although he
was simply visiting this country and was doing
nothing Of professional kind.
Of course you know that when the little basso
to the house he had his label on (the wrong
label, naturally, as Brown, or Braunski, the basso
was born near Gowanus Canal, over in Brooklyn)
But the lard lady made much of him, you can
bet your sesterces, and the Countess Sagoni, who
knew a good voice when she heard it, no matter
where man had happened to be born, had him sing
at one OF her Sundays, and that was the beginning
of his present successful career.
Oh, these labelsl

although he would have loved to. He was merely
behind time.
But the lard lady pricked up her ears at mention
of the COuntess's name as she belonged to a real
arstocracy, centuries old, which ripened on the
shores of the Adriatic, and the newly richer would
have given her tiara to be one of the favored few
who attended her really musical musicales.
Her tone toward Zabritski softened, and she told
him that he could come in and sit down behind the
grand piano il he found it too cold in the ante
room. Zabriaski had never sat behind grand piano
in his life and he is fond of new sensations he

When mans label is on he has no idea what
people really think of him. know of pianist in
New York who has label that's worth good
deal to him. Why, with his label he can make
at least twenty-five thousand dollars a year. and
socially he is lion-wth his lebel on, mind YOU
lbs is such a compeller of tone that he can make
women weep-when they know who he is-and
Paderewski himself is said to have said that there
no one ne would rather hear play than this same
bald head-for he happens to be that rara avis. a
bald-headed pianist.
Zabritski, who was born within stones throw
of the New York Academy of Music, of New Eng
land parents, is the soul of goodnature and except
when he is on concert tour he hasn't a particle
OF big head. He once told me that when he is on
concert tour he finds that certain amount of big
headedness is expected of him by his audiences in
order to convince them that he is the real goods,
and so sometimes he refuses to play on a piano
after he has sat down to it and makes the audience
wait until better one is brought up from the
local warerooms.
OF course the papers next day call him a crank
but they admit that he is a of tenacity of p,lr
pose, and that is beloved American trait so he
scores hit whenever ne is cranky that way But
the crankiness is all assumed and he often laughs
about it among his friends and says, for the matter
OF that, one piano is as bad as another when is
playing off the main line.
All this is when he has his label on. Now I'll
tell you something that happened when his label
was off and he was just an ordinary person.
There was struggling bassO by the name OF
Brown, who DESTROYS of effecting an entrance
into society to the extent of being engaged to sing
at swagger and noisy receptions of the elite-the
kind who pronounce it "elight"-and one day he
came to Zabritski whom he had known for years.
with wofu tale about his fear of losing engage
ment to sing at the house of rich lard lady on ac
count of his accompanist having sprained his wrist
and would Zabrtski go incog and play for him?
And of course Zabritski would, Just as willingly
as he would have done it when he had some hair
and was struggling himself, and little basos
Brown departed in fine spirits.
Now it happened that the great Zabritski arrived
first at the home of the rich lard lady-who u
newly richer, by the way-and he gave her to under
stand that he was only poor worm of accom-
panist and at that her manner, which had been
committal, changed to frigdity and she sent him
haughtily into an ante-room off the main hall to
await the arrival of Brown. Zabritsks sense of
humor is often his salvation, and he who is used to
being 1t in the center of drawingroom, with ladies
falling all another in their efforts to shake
the hand that was taught by List, went meeky
into the anteroom and shivered in draft while he
waited.
After time the newly rich lard lady left her
chattering guests and came in and spoke to him; in
fact she scolded him rather hard because the basso
was late, and Zabitski with beautiful assumption
OF servility, said: m very sorry, madam, but this

Now all this was innocent felton, for the little
