rates the following differences: The

but the Adamson act IL confined solely
to service In the operation OF trains.
The brotherhoods provided for the reten-
ton of any rates Of pay or rules or corr
ditions OF employment more favorable

Adamson act does not attempt to pre-
serve any such more favorable rates,
rules or conditions. The br~otherhoods
demanded no change as to the passen-
ger train service. but the Adamson act
relates as fully to hat as to other sorts
OF road service. Tho brotherhood pro-
vlded for the retention Of the mileage

ceive less for 100 miles than he now re-
ceives for 100 miles. and for overtime

Revision OF Agreements.

II Il stated that on March 20. 1916.
the four brotherhoodS demanded "A re-
vision OF their agreements. Their de-
mands relating TO switching service and
10 hosting service are not discussed In
tho bill. II contends that the Adamson
act does not relate to these services. but
only to train service. The demands
which related to ira service provided
that on runs of 100 :. 'es or less over
time should begin at ,.e expiration OF
eight hours, that all overtime should be
computed on a time ana a haN basis
and that all rates OF pay or rules more
favorable than the demands should con-
tinue In effect.
The bill alleges that the wag OF the
train employees are substantial and In
many instances high. and are now higher
than they have ever been before that
those wages vary greatly as to different
classes of employees and as to employees
In the same class. and that the rate OF
wages on one railroad are different In
q great many particulars from the rates
OF wages on other railroads that sec
tion 3 OF the Adamson act II capable OF
application Is a mere arbitrary increase
in wages without reference to the ques
tion whether existing wages are high or
low, and operates with respect to any
class of train service to give the great
est increase to the employee who now
enjoys the highest wages and the low
est increase to the employee who now
has the lowest wages.
Moreover the bill alleges that the act
10 unconstitutional and void because II
IL not a regulation OF commerce, and
moreover Is q mere experiment for the
purpose OF future decision as to whether
there ought to be any legislation. and
because the act Is a violation Of the

ALL TSCHAIKOWSKY
GIVEN BY STRANSKY
Second Philharmonic Concert
Devoted to Music Of Fa-
nous Russian.
MISCHA ELMAN, SOLOIST
Interesting Performance of
Violin Concerto at Car
negie Hall.

The second subscription concert Of the
philharmonic Society at Carnegie Hall
last evening presented a Tschalkowsky
programme. Josef Stransky, conductor
or the organization, apparently delights
IN all something programmes, and he is
never happier than when he Is waving his
wand before u score Of the famous Rus
SIAN. Last evenings concert began with
the overture TO THE voyevodc,'' which
Mt any rate had the merit Of not being
overplayed.
Tschaikowsky wrote Il in 1867. In
the seventies he tore II and the rest Of
the opera into pieces. It Is even said
that he threw the pieces into the fire. In
1891 he wrote a symphonic ballad on the
subject. lie tore that up too. But he
forgot to tear up the orchestral parts of
both. SO we have the overture still
with us.
Mischa Gilman Il Soloist.
The other two numbers on the list
were perhaps more important. They
were the violin concerto and the NTH
symphony. The soloist was Mischa FL
man, who is quite rs Russian az Tschai-
kowsky's music.
Away back In 1881 Adolf Brodsky
produced the concerto in Vienna, Hans
Richter conducting, and Dr.. Hansl!ck
went to hear II. The violin IL no longer
played" he declared In an article at Is
yanked about. IL Is o aeunder, beaten
black and blue. I do not know whether
Il Is possible for any one TO conquer
these harassing difficulties. but I do
know that Mr.. Brodsky martyrlzed his
hearers as well as himself" Dr. Hans
HEX further intimated in rather crude
style hat the music was malodorous.
Mischa Elman In his maddest moments
would not impress one with the idea
that he was beating the violin black and
blue. His nature Is too gentle for that.
But perhaps he did 'yank" II a little at
times, and certainly he did tear asunder
the rhythr,s almost unto the confusion
OF Mr.. Stransky and the orchestra.
