the various theatres to meet their
demands, but in case the small
houses were to be required to have
two or three musicians, then the
largest place would require the
services of the Symphony Orches-
ira in order to equalize and meet the
demand, based upon seating capac-
ity.
The proposition that all moving
picture houses must remove their
electric pianos or orchestrions is too
ridiculous to consider. except that
they use a union musician in opcrat-
ing the same.
1t is obvious that the union musi-
clans have no more ri ght to demand
that these moving picture houses
remove these instruments than the
shoe workers would have to demand
that manufacturers remove machin-
cry and have shoes made only by
hand
The instruments in these moving
picture theatres are very expensive,
and often constitute the largest as
set Of the establishment, and it
would be manifestly unfair to de
mand the removal Of such instrll-
ments which are essential to the suc-
cess Of this business.
We believe that where musicians
are used they should be union men.

THE PAINTERS LOCKOUT

The trouble between the Painters
District Council and the contracting
painters IS to be deplorcd. The fact
that two Of the members of the
Painters District Council having
entered into a deal with Mr.. Waltz.
Of the Employers Association to
settle the strike in consideration Of
so much money, has nothing to do
with the main issue.
The two men mentioned by Mr..
Waltz are not the business agents Of
the Painters District Council, and
have no authority to speak for any
body other than themselves.
The glazing question has been a
disturbing element between the
Ialntcrs District Council and the
bosses for some time, and the coun-
ell has determined this work shall be
done by union labor, while the Con
tractors Association is protecting
three or four glass houses.
The building Trades Council is
aware that there is something more

ton, or the painters bosses would
not lock out their men.

tered through this tendency, the second
generation may be expected to become
thoroughly American.
The experts say that the Russian
should add a worthwhile strain to
American blood. The strongest races
of the world have always dwelt far to
the north, where nature required the
development OF vigor and enterprise
There should be hardihood in the
Russian that will make him an element
of the future from which the world will
hear.
The Greeks who come to America
are mostly from the cities and are CON
sequently less enterprising than are the
Italians OF the same class who come
from the country districts. This Ital-
ian has always worked for himself and
in America seeks to do the same. He
operates push-cart. a barber shop,

but in America he refuses to go on the

But the difficulty lies in the fact that
three-hiths OF the foreigners who have
landed in America in the last decade
have remained in the five States that
are adjacent to the port OF New York.
There they live in foreign quarters, pre-
