4, S, ORCHESTRA TO
PRESENT PROGRAM
DURING JANUARY

A concert by the High school orches-
ira under the direction of Ralph T..
Sloane will be given late in January,
in behalf of the orchestra's three
French orphans. The date has not yet
been set. but a varied and interesting
program is being planned. including
numbers by distinguished list of
composers from the allied countries.
including several Italian pieces.
Mr.. Sloane, director Of the orchestra
and supervisor of music in the public
schools. said Saturday morning that
although seven weeks of orchestral
rehearsals have been lost during the
last semester on account OF the closing
of the school, the orchestra was never
in better form. nor better qualified to
present an interesting concert 10 the
people of the community.
Mr.. Sloane is of the opinion that the
private teachers are taking a greater
interest in the orchestra this year and
are assisting by requiring more IN
tensive work from their pupils
The concert planned for late in
January will be the one usually given
by the High school orchestra between
Thanksgiving and Christmas. but
which was not given this year on &C
count of the influenza ban.
Great interest is being shown in the
state in the coming convention OF the
State Music Teachers Association.
which is to be held in Muncie April ~.

teachers will attend Mr.. Sloane is
,er,hor of tho executive committee of
this association and he announced Sat
urady morning that plans for an inter
esting program throughout the three
days OF the convention are rapidly ad-
yancine. The executive committee
met in Indianapolis recently. at which
time it was arranged that the Amer1-
can Guild of Organists will have
charge of the program.

Many fires caused from flues have

u.day that when people call the fire
department IL they know the fire is
from the fue It would make It easier
for the fire department. to tell them
so as then 1t will be necessary only
to send out ono company. When a
general alarm Ia put in all the COM
ranies go II there should be another
fire It would be difficult for them to
get there
Mr. Miller said the only reason for
SC many fue fires Is the Indiana coal

Made at Conference

ming at the Y. NJ. c. A. between a
committee OF ministers and COM
mittee representing labor of the city
The ministers were the Rev. ii. >.
James, the Rev. A. f. Mitchell and
the Rev. T.. r. Davis. Labor was re-
presented by Robert E. Graham, Luz
cius Harrison and John Putterbaugh
Plans were made for the betterment
and the development of civic life in
the community Of Richmond. 1t was
thought best by both committees not
to make known the plans as 1t might
makes their futhering difficult.
A fair and free discussion of con
dltions in Richmond took place. Both
sides agree that they understand each
other more than ever before, since
the meeting Friday night.
Plans agreed upon will be known
later as they develop.

tBy Associated Press,

WASHINGTON. Jan. 3.-Discussing
reconstruction problems before the
senate committee on education and
labor today, Samuel Gompers, presi-
dent Of the American Federation OF
Labor, said the people of the United

any men OF affairs since the signing
of the armistice, the question OF in
dustrial stagnation and they took is
sue with the assertion made in some
quarters that hours of labor must be
increased and that wages must come
down.
There can be no repetition in the
United States Of the same conditions
that prevailed In 1893 and 1894, when
men and women were hungry for the
want of employment" he said.
