liacci" is looked upon as one OF the great
est creations of modern operate stage.
1t was as Canio that Mr.. Zenatello
made his debut as tenor and 1t was In
this role that he achieved instant fame
throughout his native land. Not only
vocally does he conquer his hearers, but
histrionically he presents character that

Hand Plant Men Will Receive
Seven and 0ne-Half Per
Cent More.

Workers in hand window glass
plants are soon to receive seven and
half per cent wage advance. The
Glassworker has the following to say
on the subject:
This advance in wages takes effect
March Is, and was virtually decided on
last week when members Of the manu-
facturerS' wage committee at 'meet-
ing held, in Pittsburg recommended
such action.
In communicating this action on
the part Of the manufacturers, Chair
man NJ. R. Hilton, of the wage com
mittee, calls attention to the fact that
the advance will go into effect from
three to four weeks before manufac-
turers can hope to begin realizing on
the advanced window glass quotations
made in January, as 1t will take the
factories from four to six weeks TO
clean up their orders taken at the
November quotations. Chairman Hill
ton also declares that the advance OF
seven and one-half per cent, going
into effect as it does March 10, will
seriously interfere with the placlps
of remaining November orders, which
amount to about 100000 boxes, anc
that only limited amount OF glass at
the January quotations has yet been
booked.
1t is confidently expected that the
manufacturers will concur in the
recommendation of the wage commit
tee, and that the dissatisfaction and
