Music
RAYMOND Wilson, Lois Long
and F rankin Riker Give Re-
citals at Aeolian Hall

There were two recitals yesterday at
Aeolian Hall. In the afternoon Ray
mond Wilson, young pianist Of some
musical feeling and yigor, gave an OF,
fering which included the Chopin 3
fat minor sonata, the Schumann
Scenes from Childhood" and group
of Godowsky arrangement. His play
ing throughout was sound, though
scarcely inspired.
The evening recital was given By Lois
Long. soprano, and Franklin Riker,
tenor. Miss Long displayed a pretty
voice of light calibre, which, with
greater knowledge OF its Use, might
prove effective on the recital platform.
Mr. Riker's natural voice seemed TO be
an admirable one, but his production
OF it resulting in a continual throati-
ness was unfortunate. Aside from this
he showed taste and intelligence Of in
.arrretation. The audiences at both
concerts were of moderate size.

Automobile Mechanics
Desirable Recruits

Naturally and rightly, the men are
being sought, first of all, in the
trades which by their nature are al
lied TO the various kinds Of labor IN
shipbuilding. Such an industry as
the manufacture of automobiles en-
ploys hundreds Of thousands Of men
whose familiarity with tools and
machines makes them very adapt
able to shipbuilding. Then it Is said
that there are more mechanics en-
pIoyed in the $4,000 or 3o'ooo
garages of the country than are en-
rolled in the factories With the re-
striction of the use Of pleasure cars
a multitude of these mechanics can
he made available for shipbuilding.
To prevent a rush Of men to one
ward. while none go to another, there
must be some central agency of dis
tribution and control. The yards can
no longer be permitted to hunt lndis-
criminately in the labor world TOR
their own men.

Labor Now Is Basic
Problem of Nation

In Washington every department
and every committee or commission
VIII tell you that its work is the big
problem of the war, but some Of
those who are in a position to survey
the whole field declare that the basic
problem is the problem of labor. The
lack Of skilled men is all that really
stands in the way Of carrying out
the shipbuiIding programme.
If tie men ccSuld be founi it is
not too much to say that America
could build during 1918 ten million
tons instead of the six or seven mill
ion tons that are now regarded "
the most optimistic as the impossible
maximum. The problem has many
angles. some of which are:
Finding and modelling the men.
Assigning them to the places
where they are most needed.
Training.
