BRYANT URGES BETTER
FIRE LAWS TN JERSEY
Labor Commissioner Says Present
Protection Is Inadequate

TRENTON, Jan. I.-Absolute necessity
for some State supervision over hotels,
meeting houses and places where the pub
lie gathers, especially in the smaller cities
where no local administration Is avail
able in the matter of proper fire protec-
tion, is tho opinion expressed by State
Commissioner of Labor Lewis r. Bryant
in his annual report to Governor Fielder
today. This Is one of the most important
recommendations of the report. Com
missioner Bryant says that there are un-
doubtedly a number of places coming
within this class of buildings which re-
qure additional protection in the event
of fire.
"In our Judgment" says the Labor
Commissioner. "all hotels, apartment
houses and places whore the public gath
ers should be provided with an electrical
system of alarms and adequate means
of eEress." The commissioner takes up
the matter of hotel regulations in connec-
ton with a discussion of the regulations
already in force i'm the factories and
workshops. Mr.. Bryant recommends the
enactment of legislation outlining the pro-
lection that should he furnished In such
places and the placing of it's enforcement
in the hands of specified local Al -horities
whore such are available.
Speaking of the ch!ld-labor law enacted
In 1914 Commissioner Bryant says that
the reports received from his inspectors
lead to the belief that there has actually
been n decrease In the number of chill
dren engaged in the manufactures. and
he adds that many factory owners now
elect to employ children over l6 years of
age in order to avoid the age and school
ing requirements incident to the hiring
of those under age.

PK0GR M OF MASTERS
BY BOSTON SYMPHONY
Dr. Muck Conducts; Melba, Witek and
Ferir Assisting Artists

Precious little room for comm,nt is left
by such program that played last
night by the Boston Symphony at the
Academy. The orchestral numbers dated
no later than 1885 and the arias and sccna
sung by Nine. Nellic Mclba were still
older. Yet the freshness of each number
was unimpaired by time or familiarity and
the execution of each was faultess.
one could. of course, speculate largely
on tho Haydn symphony, which was writ
ten for the famous Salomon concerts in
London. 1t has unusual combinations of
qualities such as gaicty and s:ateliness,
grace and vigor. Yet 1t must be confessed
that in combination with the long con-
certante for violin and viola, by Mozart
and with nothing but Mozart again, and
Hanuel and Mcndclssohn i'm the same pro-
gram, the general effect OF wcarincss did
prevail Doctor Muck's plan. to give the
cities he visits dose of their own mCdi-
cine, to learn" them for cavilling at his
modern programs, Is certainly obvious
From extreme to extreme he has tried to
make his tours unpopular lie will never
succeed while his orchestra plays as 1t
does.
Yet he ought TO consider that just as
there are only a very few who can stand
ultra-refnements of thought and feeling
in modern music. so there are but a linz
tied number who are fanatics for orchcs-
''hl 'N''' anu uiN NllllllS ~ llEltn 10 llt
oncients forever. Is there nothing be-
tween Bach and Ropartz? If Doctor Muck
thinks not, we can remind him that his
playinS of Beethoven, of Brahms and If
Sibellus and of Mailer, of F'ranck and of
Berlioz, are eternal delights. He can ar
range wonderful programs and there Is no
reason why he shouldn't.
The three assisting artists last night are
all well enough known. Nine. Melba sang
as she sang here some months ago, with
voice still too fresh and vigorous To
call much for the support of memory At
few moments It was pinched and her
tendency to clip phrases here and ther.
was noticeable. But her technical mas
terry Is marvel and the dantlness and
grace OF her second Mozart aria was quite
justification enough for the overwhelm-
ing applause she received. Mr. Witek i'm
the symphony and later in combination
with Mr.. Ferir, the first viola, play mag
nificently, and Mr., Ferir himself, handling
an instrument little known, alone unfold
ed new and attractive possibilities One
felt that he was a master of the viola, out
one hardly felt as one did of Mr. Witeil
that he was master musician.
