as the great tenor was never born to
be a hero of romance, the histrionic
side of the part fell by the wayside.
Miss Muzio was 4 beautiful figure as
Flora. and She sang Ihe music with
passion and yet with restraint. She
has as yet much to learn in the finer
shadings of the character. as it lacks
yet the pathos and the poetry Of which
it is capable.
Mr.. Amato was in far from good
voice. yet he lent a great dignity and
nobility TO Manfredo. and Mr.. Didur.
was superb as the blind king -
Mr.. Moranzoni gave vigorous-at
times. perhaps. a too vigorous-or orches-
tral reading. With Mr.. Caruso vocally
him again, and with a general pol
ishing and coordination of the per-
formance, the present revival ought to
go far toward equalling the memorable

American Industry in War Time. "
puohshcd by the Industrial Economist
fub1ishing Company, of Washington,
u. L. makes this query in its current
issue and submits, by way of answer,
orief accounts of labor conditions in
all OF the chief warning nations.
1t Will be seem" the publication
says, that an industrial truce obtains
IN all these countries with the excep-
'lon OF the United States. Is the strug-
gle for democracy and freedom of the
world to be lost through American
union labor's class demands >"
According to the accounts of condi-
'lons, presented by the magazine
American labor, alone of all the war
ring countries workers, still is think
ing of itself before it's nation.
What is labor unonism doing in
this battle ?" the publication quotes

as asking. Mr. President. in our shin
yards, II is Stacking in a most shameful
ana disgraceful manner 1t is state A
mat there have been over $500 strikes
IN the shlDbullding industry and those
industries connected Herewith within a
period of six months"
An article by Burton J. Hendrick. in
Colilers, is the source Of the fol-
lowing:
5000 Working Years Lost
he fact is that in the last six
months not far from 100000 Ameri-
can workmen have left their work for
shorter or longer intervals.
SlXty-four strikes have resulted in a
loss of 1856 ,9S1 working days, or, since
there are 300 working days to work
Ing year, almost 5000 working wears. u
Labor's explanation of this cond-
ton IS contained in the following ut
terance of James Q'Connell, pres ident
Of the Metal Trades Department of the
American Federation of Labor:
ut Is not d mere question of being
behind President WILSON, That is a
sort OF catchy expression. catch
thrase. sounds nice. The question is:
Are you behind yourself? Now
we are striking for dollars.
We have forgotten there is such a
thing on the market as penny any
more. We are just coming together
and are going to get dollars instead of
pennies. Nothing can take place,
nothing can be done. unless we are
consulted and practically give our con-
sent to it,
American Industry in War Time
contrasts the foregoing attitude of
American labor with that of their Ger
man enemies. The Monthly Review
of the Bureau OF Labor Statistics" fo,
December. 1917. is quoted as saying:
"A total Of 240 strikes with 4,1s3
striking workers We've reported in
Germany for 1916. No lockouts took
place during the year. For the first
five months of the war August to De
cember 1910, only twentysiX strikes
with 2,0S4 strikers were reported, and
the statistics for 1915 show total of
1877 strikes and four lockouts with
124 1S3 striking or lockedout workers.

Labor's Loyalty

British Workers
They Complete Study Of
Conditions in Eastern
Half of Country

William A. Appleton. secretary of the
british General Federation of Trades
Unions, one of the party of British
labor men now touring the United
States, last night gave three reasons
why the general federation. represent
ing 146 unions and 100000 members,
declined to take part in any peace con-
ference in which enemy countries are
represented. These are:
81 We had no one speaking the
scandinavian languages or German COM
petent to discuss matters on even terms
in such conference
90 The soclai democrats of Ger
many have never shown either the de-
sire or the power to attend such a con-
ference.
(3) To hold such conference at a
time when passions are high tend to
perpetuate war rather than bring peace.
Mr.. Appleton, VINO with his asso-
ciates has travelled over a large part
of the United States east of the Mis-
slsslppl, said the party came on the
invitation of the American Federation
