Dudley Buck went to Chicago and stayed
there until after the great disaster Of the
Chicago fire, in which he lost his house,
his music room, where his organ r~ecitRls
were a feature of Chicago musical life,
his library and some valuable manuscripts.
He had been organist at st. James church
for several years. From Chicago he went
to Boston, where he was organist at the
great music hall, at st. PauIs church and
later at Shawmut Congregational church.
In 1874 Dudley Buck was assistant con-
ductor of Theodore Thomas orchestra Of
New York, a fact not generally known,
and musical director Of st. AIMS church,
Manhattan. remaining until 1877,
Dudley Buck was then organist and con-
ductor OF music at Holy Trinity church,
Brooklyn, where he ended twenty-five
years service-a quarter Of a century in
one church-in 1902. After that he went
to the Brooklyn tabernacle,
There was much in the newspapers at
the time Of Dudley Bucks departure from
the Brooklyn Holy Trinity church., and the
inference was hat the clergyman or clergy
men in charge wished to curtail the mu-
steal part OF the service. At any rate Mr..
Buck resigned, and a writer in the Brook
lyn Eagle at that time stated that II was
a strange coincidence that Dudley Buck
should rave resigned so soon after Gull
mant, the noted organist at Holy Trinity
In Paris, handed in his resignation. be-
cause of a serious disagreement with the
rector of that church."

Dudley Bucks contribution to musical
literature is too well known and too ex-
tended to enumerate in this place at this
time. He was a unique figure in the mu-
steal history of America. His position IS
unquestioned as being in the highest ranks
Of our composers, and ''one of the first
American composers to obtain general
recognition" says Mr.. Lahee in his book,
The Organ and Its Masters"
And so full of years and honors''
Dudley Buck has passed onward to mount
the heights, and we are left to mourn a
while in the valley at eventide But in
the memory OF his music we will find
that "at eventide 1t shall be light"

Last month, as the writer OF this music
column OF The Omaha Bee visited again
and again the Royal opera and talked OF
Dudley Buck with the proprietor OF the

possible that the first article In The Bee

Dudley Buck also borrowed a work on
-Thoroughness Cor as we would now say
on Harmony, of which th~oroughbass or
figured bass Is a party This he secured
from one OF the clerks in his fathers EN-
ploy and at its intricacies he went to work.
He also managed TO negotiate the loan OF
a flute, and ne. practised on that so dill
gently-his place OF practice being up in a
cherry tree-that when he did really get
possession Of a flute, all his own, in his
thirteenth year, he was able to play quite
creditably. Later he got q melodeon Qor
pianos were not sold at 81 a week then In
New England, and Music and Art were not
honored with capital letters), and on this
melodeon he learned, without any instruc-
ton, to play the accomplishments to some
of the Haydn and some Of the Mozart
masses, and likewise the choruses Of
Handers best known oratOrios.
He was 16 before his father overcame his
determination not to buy a piano, for the
young man to play upon, as he had re-
marked, IF had a daughter there would
be some sense in it," This is quite indica-
tive Of the attitude toward the musical
profession on the part Of those serious and
solid people.
But all honor TO the parents Of Dudley
Buck, for when they saw the trend and tai
ent of the diligent and earnest youth they
determined that If he were to be the mu-
siclan there should be nothing left undone
TO Make him a good one. To the parents
of Dudley Buck the musical world is In
debted today for that splendid determine
ton. He made a great and good musician
as they had hoped. And the first TO show

State Building Trades Council.

Three unions reafiliated with the
Building Trades Council at its last meet
ing-the plasterers, electrical workers
and stonecutters. This was in compli-
ance with the order of the Tampa con-
vention of the National Building Trades
Department of the A. F. of l. The
brotherhood carpenters have not yet
obeyed this order.
The council formerly endorsed the
proposition of establishing State Build
ing Trades Council on the same lines of
those existing in California and New
Jersey. This has received the endorse
ment of the department and will event
ually be started in all states.
1t will have the effect of thoroughly
organizing the building trades crafts and
will greatly strengthen all their unions
by stopping the supply of nonunion
strike-breakers from the small towns
which are unorganized, The plan hav-
ing been sanctioned by the parent body,
cannot help but be successful. as the
working cards will be issued from the
national to the state branch for distribu-
ton, and not as now to the central
bodies. These cards are sold first to the
state branch for a stated price, the state
branch in turn charging an advance in
price in the local central bodies, which
distribute them to the local unions at an
other advance, this sale of the building
trades card forming the source of reve-
nue. that keeps the various organizations
up, in place of the system OF dues or per
capita charged in the miscellaneous
trades.
The immense advantage in this system
of collecting revenue is at once apparent.
Every craftsman must possess this card
to work and therefore must pay his just
dues, the union in turn must purchase
enough cards to supply all their mem
bers. The cards are issued quarterly.
A convention of the building trades
unions of the state is soon to be called,
when the state branch will be organized
and organizers put in the field to bring
in every craftsman working in the build
ing line.
The advantage to the Individual work
er will be that uniform scale of wages
will prevail. the worker in the small
towns getting as much as those In the
city.
The building trades. with their uni
versal card system. have the most per-
feet form OF organization that exists In
the labor movement. The fact that man
working on buildings must carry this
card leaves no room for knockers. kick
ers and disgruntled members or unions
to pull away from their sister unions
when everything does not suit them. and

A DRASTIC ORDER.

The Secretary of the Navy issued an
order this week, which. while 1t does not
directly affect organized labor, it must
concern every workingman who has a
real heart in him. The order directs
that all persons in the Navy Department,
whatever their station. must submit to
an examination. and II traces of lumber
culosis are found in any of them they
are to be dismissed from the service.

ing or more unjust ruling by public Of

action is taken to prevent the spread OF
the disease. and this may be exactly
true. But at the same time, In view OF
the fact that the government makes no
provisions for its decrepit employees, no
more heartless action could possibly be
taken.-Ex.

WOMEN'S Au%lllARIES LABOR'S
BEST ASSET.

The basis of the auxiliary movement,
the underlying principle, is-education.
1t is the gathering together of bodies
that. will become force in the educa-
ton of the great mass of unorganized
working women. The mothers. wives
and sisters of workingmen who have
been and are wage earners, and who are
familiar with every phase of the life Of
the working women coming together in
auxiliaries will learn to act concertedly,
will learn to be tolerant one of the
other, will learn to think intelligently of
the cause and erect of the condition
in their lives.
When the aux'liaries see that there
are six million working women in Amer
lea they may feel as II the work of or
ganizing these workers through educa-
tion is a great aud pregnant question
for woman to help in the humblest ca
pacity is something. The moral support
you give by your presence at your auxil-
larry shows that YOU are awake to the
great good you can help to accomplish,
Just being member and adding one
more to the great whole II that is all
you can do. is something. You have be-
come an active factor for good.
A union mans wife who is not mem
ber of a woman's auxiliary is not to be
excused for 1t on the ground that there
Is no auxiliary to her husbands union.
when the wives of workingmen value
themselves and their collective purchas-
that through organization they can be
come powerful allies to the mems unions,
then the endorsement of the women's
auxiliaries viii mean something-they
will have become a power.

means of knowledge because it is not a
part of the duty of the servant to in
quire into the sufficiency of these things.
The servant has a right to rely upon the
masters inquiry because it is the mas
ter's duty to inquire and the servant may
Justly assume that the conditions are fit
and suitable for the use which he is di-

The position of the servant is one of
subordination and obedience; the posi-
ton of the master is one of authority
and power. 1t is absurd to say that the
servant can not, to any extent, rely upon
the superior knowledge and authority of
the master and obey the directions of
the master in sending him into place of
danger, or, if he does obey, he can not
recover damages for any injury received
as the result of his obedience. The prac-

Industrial slavery which, in some re-
spects. is worse than absolute slavery.
If the employer had to buy his servant
he would be careful to avoid injuring him
because it would cost money to replace
him. The industrial slavery caused by
existing employers liability laws enables
the master to cripple or kill servants
without expense to himself If employ
ers were sure that they would be COM
PEELED to compensate injured servants
they would take every precaution to pre-
vent injuring them; they would adopt
the most approved safety appliances;
and they would carefully inspect and su-
pervise the work. The public has an i'm

Every great and commanding move
ment in the annals of the world is the
triumph of enthusiasm. Nothing great
was ever achieved without it.
We want more enthusiasm in the labor
movement in this city. For many years
we have been grinding away in about
the same old rut, leaving what work has
been done to few officials to do while
the great mass of the workers have re-
mained away from their union meetings,
busying with trifing amusemnts that
have resulted in little benefit or profit.
There has never been a time in the
history of this city when organized labor
had a better chance to improve its con-
dition and standing than it has now
For many years we were inflicted
with a mass of public officials and SUI
preme court that was ever ready to
hand organized labor bunch" when the
opportunity presented itself. This has
happily been changed to a great extent
and we should no longer be afraid of get
ting rotten decision from the courts on
the working of the obnoxious anti-boycott
or any other labor depressing law.
Our central bodies should be filled with
delegates at every meeting, ready and
willing to assist in the work that is to
be done, organizing, Loosting the union
labels and assisting those unions that
need it Too long we have allowed our
weaker unions to fight their own battles
and in many instances to go down to de
feat when a little help at the opportune
moment would have given them vic
tory The few elected officials cannot
do all this work, the rank and file must
do their part and it is time to wake VI
and do it. Attend your union meetings

be a delegate to. serve faithfully on an,
committee that you may be appointed
upon. then watch and see what won

as all wage scales and conditions of
work have to be submitted and approved
by the central bodies before being sub
mitted to the bosses, it prevents useless
strikes and produces solidarity of action
when the union demands for increased
wages, etc, are sanctioned.

TO ELIMINATE HOLIDAYS.

The Denver Musical Protective Asso-
citation, at the regular meeting held on
Tuesday, Nov. 9Th, voted to eliminate all
holidays from the price list. This means
that from now on No extra charge will
be made for music on holidays. 1t was
nerals whether the land is taken to the
cemetery or dismissed in town.
Mention also was made of the fact that
there are any number OF trades union
lists, belonging to different societies, fra
ternal organizations, etc, who not only
countenance the engaging of nonunion
music for some of the events held by
their respective orders, but in q number
of instances some who play musical in
struments accept Engagements as musi-
clans for pay, thereby competing with
the members of the Musicians Union.
This is a strange but remarkable fact.
A man belonging to a certain trades
union, who would not think for one in
stant of buying a suit or pair of over
alls without the Label, but thinks nothing
of accepting engagements as nonunion
musician.
We trust to receive the cooperation of
all our fellow workers to stop this de-
plorable state of affairs. 1t not only
works a hardship on our members, but
is unjust and anything but in accordance
with the principles Of good faith and fair
dealing.
If you are contemplating engaging any
music for any occasion, be sure the per-
son to whom you give the contract is a
member of the Denver Musical Protec-
tive Association. or if in doubt call up
our office, Main 3794, and we will be
pleased to give you any information you
may desire.
