former is a lofty example of the Sc.
raphic style Of the Palestrina period
one which measures itself with the best
examples of that master. The latter,
though less marked by serene beauty,
is more striking because of the COM
poser's use of what may be called a
dramatic device. Into the midst Of
penitential reflection and prayer. a
chorus Of tenors in unison interjects an
admonition to humility, of which Long
fellows Dust thou art to dust re-
turnest" Is a poetic paraphrase. The
melody is persistent and strident and
cuts into the polyphonic mass like the
voice OF divine admiration. The effect
is thrilling, and we canont recall it's
fellow in medieval ecclesiastical music
The music which Mr. SCHNEIDER Of
fered his audience was of so high a
type that we have no disposition to be
critical Of the performance. 1t is al
ways question if music of this char
acter should be sung by a large choir
of singers chiefly amateurs, for its de-
mrands upon purity Of intonation and
business of expression are many. 1t is
also question If the effect of Russian
Church music can be attained by a
choir Of mixed voices. But beautiful
spirit pervaded the concert, and there
was much TO be grateful for.

War Board Fixes A8-Hour
Week for N. Y. Silk Mills
ITO, 900 Workers in 1876 Plants
in Metropolitan District
Affected bv Order

WASHINGTON, April 9.-The War
Labor Board decided unanimously to-
day for the adoption of a forty ight
hour week for the silk mills in the New
York City district. Nearly 10000
workers in 1856 mills are affected
The decision was based on a motion
made by Joint Chairman Taft. Both
sides in the controversy, which grew
out of strike two months ago in silk
mills at Paterson, N. j., presented their
cases at a hearing yesterday.
Representatives of the employees
asked for establishment of a forty
four hour week. The silk manufact-
urers' committee opposed the forty
four hour week on the ground that it
would give undue advantage to their
competitors in the industry. The mills
have been working fifty-two and fifty
four hours.
While the decision of the board ap-
plies only to the forty-six mills di-
rectly involved, representatv of the
industry have said that the standard
agreed upon would be adopted gener-
ally by all silk mills in the United
States

Oscar Hammerstein
Again to Produce Opera
Appears in Court to Proven,
Sale of Stock; Is Waiting
Until Contract Exnires

oscar Hammerstcin yesterday re-
newed his promise that after February
next, when his contract with the Metro
politan Opera Company expires. he
would again become an impresario.
Mr.. Hammerstein, restored to health
and quite in his old time form, ap-
peared in the Supreme Court for the
first time in many months. He was
there to ask an injunction to restrain
the Equitable Trust Company from
selling 1898 shares of Hamme rstein
Amusement Company stock. Mr.. Ham
merstein obtained from Justice Null
ian what he came for. The in
Junction will remain in effect pend
ing the outcome of suit by Mr..
Hammerstein to cancel an agreement
with his late wife, Mrs. Malvina Ham
mersteln, when she was suing him for
divorce to pay her 5000 week for
lie and after her death to pay $1O0 a
week TO each of her two daughters.
Tho Equitable Trust Company
planned to sell the stock unless the
former opera manager paid certain
sum in arrears. Mr.. Hammerstein
seeks to cancel the agreement, con-
tending that it was made without CON
slderation and on the ground that his
daughters are not in need Of his sun
port.

Hammerstein, latter | resume giving

Music
Unusually Interesting Compost
ions Sung by The Sc!sola
CantOrum
By II. E. K.rehbiel

The Schola Cantorum gave is last
concert for this season at Carnegie
Hall last night. Mr.. SCHNEIDER, the con
ductor of the society. has frequently
tried to arrange a more original pro-
grammc of pieces, but has never sue
ceeded in putting together a more dig
nltled and interesting one or one SO
appropriate to the season and calcu-
lated to hold the attention of an audi
ence of refined taste. 1t began with
two lighthearted secular motets by Or
lando di Iasso onion cour Sc recon-
mande q vous' and "Quand mon mari
Went de dehors"j, and after three
merry bergerettes by old French and
Flemlsh composers. (among them the
dainty "Aime moi bergere," by Lefeb-

climax in four Lentcn motets by two

conclusion came three examples Of
modern liturgical music Of the Eastern

which local music-ovcrs knew little

room by the choir of the Russian
Cathedral Of st. Nicholas. They made
an easy appeal to the ear and fancy of
the audience and the composer, who
sat IN box during the concert, was
made again to appreciate how genuine
mold he has won upon the respect
and admiration of the seriously minded
element among New York's music
lovers. The pieces we're sung in their
original tongue, which proceeding had
one advantage at least--it permitted
the hearers to enjoy the music as such

DIR. Henry r. Linville and
Three Others Refuse to
Answer Questions as to
Attack on School Board
Bolshevism Is an Issue
Instructors Plan to Ask
Mayor for Suspension of
Officials and an Inquiry

The Board Of Education's first move
in its inquiry into the actions and opin-
ions Of the Teachers Union developed
a lively scene yesterday in the Office OF
Dr. William J.. Ettinger, superintendent
Of schools.
Empowered by the board to invcsti-
gate alleged radical uttcrances by mem
bcrs of the union, DR.. Ettingcr sum
moncd four Of them. He wanted to
learn, he said, whether they are op-
posed to the constituted authority Of
the educational system and whether
their expressed views outside the class
room are at variance with American
ideals.
Dr.. Henry r. Linvile, head of the
union, said the teachers refused to an
swer questions not related to class
room work A few of them, he said
told the superintendent of schools they
would give no information about their
personal opinions or activities, because
they mistrusted the proceedings and
were without advice of counsel. The
teachers were told, he added they had
no right to counsel.
Soon after noon DR.. Henry r. Lin
Vile, president Of the union; Abraham
Lefkowitz, Max Rosenhaus. secretary
Of the organization, and Joseph Jab-
lonower were conducted by DR.. John
l.. Tldsley, associate superintendent

were held for more than four hours,
their voices often rising TO high
s'authority" and "Bolshevism" fre-
quently we're heard outside the room.
According to Dr.. Linville, Lefkowitz
was asked about a report he had made
public concerning a meeting at Public
School 27, Manhattan, on March 20, in
which he is charged with having made
disparaging references to the Board of
Education. A pamphlet distributed at
this meeting, entitled "Terrorizing
Our Public Schools" in which the ed
ucational system also is attacked, was
tHe SuDJeCC OA many questions, SalQ
Lefkowitz.
DR.. Linville said he, Rosenhaus and
Jablonower refused to answer ques-
tions concerning the meeting and pam
phlet other than that they were pres
ent and that the pamphlet had been
published by the union.
Just Treatment Promised
At the conclusion of the first ses-
sion Of the inquiry DR.. Ettinger said
the investigation had just begun and
that if the facts show the teachers
guilty of conduct preiudicial to good
order, efficiency or discipline in tho
public school service, they will be
dismissed
"In all fairness to these teachers, ,"
he said, ~ must say that some of the
best in the system belong to the
union. We will treat them justly"
Dr. Linville said members OF the
union are now discussing a plan Of
calling on the Mayor to suspend the
Board OF Education, and to ask the ap-
pointmcnt of a receiver for the depart
ment. A commission, he said, should
be appointed to investigate the entire
system.

Many Girls Ask Immediate

Hundreds of Wounded

The military hospitals of New York
face difficult situation. Although they
are buster now than at any time in
their history, due to the return Of SOL
dlers, many of the nurses are seeking
discharges. Those who signed up after
the United States came into the war
feel that they have done what they set
out to do and want to get home.
Some of them are going to be mar.
ried, others have home ties, while q
few have attractive positions in civil
life waiting for them.
Their reasons for seeking discharges
are valid in virtually every instance
and hospital authorities are inclined
to let as many as possible 60, pro
vided they can be replaced.
Three thousand patients are being
handled daily at the Greenhut Hos
pital. The ordinary staff is scarcely
large enough to keep up with the
demands made upon it, yet consider
