 HEARD WITH DELIGHT
Frank GittelsOn, an Artist of Rare Talent, Gives Brilliant
 Recital

Birmingham has been visited by many violin celehTities, but few of them have merited higher encomiums or won greater applause than Frank Gittelson, who was presented by the Music Study club in recital at the Southern club yesterday afternoon. The audience was large and included many professional musicians as well as scores of dis eriminating music lovers.
 MT Gittelson is young in years--hc is scarcely 20--but he phrases with fiAe grace and plays with matured feeling With large, warm tone, a wealth of temperament, a poetic imagination and prodigious technic he .interprets vari- ous composers with rare beauty His recital was really a notable event and the applause after each number was spontaneous and long continued Those music lovers who failed to attend missed, indeed, one of the greatest treats of this or any other season. Mir Gittelson's programme was as follows:
 Concerto Pietro Nardini), allegro moderate, andante cantabi1e, allegro ito grazioso.
 Concerto CA. d'Ambrosio), grandioso motto moderate sostenuto. andante, allegro

TRADE COMMISSION
 TO FIX MINIMUM
 WAGES ADVOCATED

New York, January 23.-A trade com mission to fix minimum wages for the different localities and the different in dustries was advocated by Louis D. Brandeis in an address at a luncheon here today.
 "The minimum wage will not be the maximum wage as some unions claim, - said MT. Brandeis. "Our idea is not to fix a wage that merely will give the worker living. 1t will be an encen- tive to make the worker improve his condition and get better wages. The changes must be gradual to be wise"
 pr. Howard B. Woolston, director of the minimum wage investigation of the New York state factory investi sating commission, said he had found by in- vestigation that 2000 women Workers in this state are earning only $S week or less.

 LABOR DIFFERENCES.
President Wilson Trying to Adjust Coal Mine COndi-
 ti0ns in Colorado

New York, January 2s-Negotiations to- ward obviating future differences between coal operators and miners in Colorado. sons special commission, are outlined in correspondence given out tonight by Seth Low, chairman of the commission.
 Letters between President Wilson. the commission Governor Carlson of Colo rado and the 1s2 coal operators of that state show that the President has sug- gested the findings of the anthracite strike commission in Pennsylvania as a useful precedent. Governor Carlson has pledged the cooperation of an industrial commits sion and has suggested to operators adop- tion of plan whereby employees with grievances may have easy access to com pany offices.
 In letter to members of the commis- sion President Wilson wrote:
 The plan of temporary accommodation Which, l have proposed to the mine oper- ators and the striking miners did not involve recognition by the operators or the miners organization It is the more interesting. in. view of that fact, representatives of the striking miners The situation has recalled t6 my mind the findings of the anthracite strike con-. mission. In that case also the union was not dealt with as such, and the findings or the commission seem to me to en- body principles which might apply in one Held as well as. in another.
 For example, finding four provides for board of conciliation on which both the operators and the miners are to be represented; finding five secured to the miners the right, at their own expense, 10 check the weights upon which they are paid; and finding nine provides. that no person shall be refused employment, or in any way discriminated against. on account of membership or non-member- ship in any labor organization and that there shall be no discrimination against or interference with, any employe who Is not member of any labor organiza- ton by members of such organizations ,
