TO acting as musical editor for several
trade papers, he has arranged music for
such productions as "'rhe Dumb Girl Of
Portici," THE Neer DO Well" The Com
mon Law" War Brides" THE Battlecry
Of Peace" for different State right buyers
AS the first step in the perfection of his
organization. Mr.. Winkler has engaged the
services Of NJ. l.. Lake. composer, who
is already engaged In preparing the mu-
sical themes for the first new production
of the Wiliamsons.
In keeping with their plans to do the
thing as perfectly as possible, the William
sons have sent Mr.. Lake to their producing
headquarters in the Bahamas where he will
descend into the Photographic chamber at
the bottom of the sea and there compose
melodies in the environment of the produc-
tion.
After tho original compositions are COM
pleted the incidental music arranging will
be taken in hand by Mr.. Winkler. The
completed score will be carefully timed to
the picture. Complete orchestration will be
furnished by this department for every
Williamson production. Sufficient parts will
be supplied for an orchestra OF thirty-six
pieces The scores will be so arranged, how
ever that any combination of instruments
will be possible

 If the only trouble among the miners and operators in Arizona were at Bisbee," declared the governor, T would at once go there, but there is unrest at several widely separated points in the state, and 1 am. within reach of them all at my office here. If serious trouble occurs, however. at any point, I will lose no time in getting on the scene to give what aid 1 may in effecting a settlement.
 There has been no word from Washington in regard to the appeal of Sheriff Wheeler at Bisbee for fed eral aid"
 Purporting to be the demands of the striking copper miners in the Bisbee and other mining districts in Arizona, the following handbill has been circulated at Bisbee, Clifton, Ray, Globe and other mining cen ters in the state. It is signed by an official of ''rhe First Convention of the Metal and Mine Workers Union, No. SO0." The demands as made on this handbill are as follows:
 A six-hour day from collar to col lar"
 A six-day work week.
 
 all men working under ground and S5. 50 for all men working on the sur face
 No physical examinations.
 That two men shall work on pis- ton and water liner machines.

 Secretary Baker tonight intimated that as president of the defense council he had received no notification of the arrangement reached at the confer ence.
 Mr Bakers action caused much sur prise among these officials who con- sidered that the government had ac- complished a notable achievement in inducing the coal operators to agree to a price far below that now is effective Secretary Lane, a central figure Tn the peuIIo9p sIe!0UJo L7qlo pue 'oou9LeJuoo to comment, but it was pointed out that Secertary Baker spoke only in his ca pacity as a head of the defense council and that he did not attempt to repu- diate the approval given the operators new price scale by the interior depart ment and federal trade commission of ficials.
 Several explanations for the letter were suggested tonight among those familiar with the situation. One was that the department of justice Is anxious that the fate of pending prose cutions in New York against a few coal operators be not jeopardized by tte action taken here regarding prices.
 Those who take different view be- lieve that in the near future there I,ay be an issue in the cabinet that will it- volve the very problem presented in this case. Some members of the cabinet are understood to feel that the best way to handle big business interests in war time is to appeal to their sense or patriotism and fair play and that little more than ordinary profit would not be bad thing if it would stimulate production. Another group is under stood to feel that there must be a con- stant use of the great power of the gov ernment to coerce business interests to give the lowest possible prices.
 How deep the difference goes has not become apparent but it is possible that a reappearance will lead to many diff faculties among officials.
