SEIDEl INTERESTED
IN OLD ORCHESTRA

An effort to revive interest in the
Symphony orchestra probably will re.
suit from a suggestion of George Sci
del in his address to the directors OF
the Comemrcial club Monday on his
retirement.
Mr.. Seidel said the orchestra was
once an institution which the citizens
held up with pride and of which they
had great expectations. but in the last
year nothing has been heard from it.
He advised the Commercial club
committee to Investigate the cause and
make an effort to have the orchestra
revived. Mr.. Seidel also asked what
had become of the big May music fes.
tival. and said he believed 1t advisable
to create new interest in this musical
event and carry it out on the same
scale as formerly.

Artisan WOrkmen
Given Preference
In Army Contracts

Correspondence OF the Associated Press)
BERLIN, July SO.--while Dngland APP
pears just now to be showing a strongly
socialistic tendency In the organization
OF It's industries for military purposes.
Germany has been acting in the same
spirit since the war began, but in a diff
ferent way. It regularly gives the
preference in placing army contracts to
artisan workmen and their organization.
One OF these organizations recently re-
ceived an order for 1000 provision
wagons. costing sioOO.ooo. and when GER
tain manufacturers tried to get part
OF the contract they were told to apply
to this organization.
The preference given TO artisan organ
izations Is so marked that the Handel
stag. or association OF chambers of COM
merce. has several tImes made repre-
sensations to the Prussian ministers OF
war and the interior looking toward in
creasing the orders given to the manu-
featuring establishments. The Handel
stag argues that the manufacturers also
have fixed bodies OF trained workmen
who are In special need of earning live
lihood during the war.
On the other hand, not a few minor
manufacturers, who actually get army
contracts, have a grievance OF Diff
ferent character. They claim that they
are not permitted TO compete directly
for orders In such amounts as they can
handle. but that contracts are given out
I'm large quantities. sometimes to organ
izations. and still more often TO big CON
tractors who are not manufacturers at
all. The first thing these latter do Is TO
sublet their contracts among many small
manufacturers at very onerous terms.
Thus It is the rnlddleman that reaps the
largest part OF the profits.
