Husband of Sophie Lyons, Once

Works Councils
Reduce Factory
Labor Trouble
National Industrial Confer
ence Board Find Employ
ees' Participation in Shop
Management Successful

Participation of employees in shop
management through regularly organ
lied and recognized workmen's COM
mittees has proved generally success
full, says a report issued yesterday by
the National Industrial Conference
Beard, of Boston, based on an cxhaus-
tive investigation. Where failures are
noted they have been attributed chiefly
to the active hostility of labor unions
and to the antagonistic spirit mani
tested either by the shop management
or the representatives of the en-
ployees.
The report deals only with those
estabishm ments in which workmen's
councils have been permanently or
ganzed to carry out the principle of
collective bargaining. 1t defines
works council as "a form of industrial
organization under which the empl oyees
of an individual establishment, through
among themselves, share collectively in
the adjustment of employment condi
tionS."
First Trial in 1904
The first effort at giving employees
voice in shop control, says the re-
port, was made in this country in 1904
and up to January, 1918, there We're
only twenty-nine industrial establish
lishments in which the principle was
being tried out.
Summarizing the results noted, the
report says:
I'm most cases, works councils are
reported as having produced favorable
results. although in a number of in
stances, chiefly Of National War Labor
Board committees, they have appar-
entity accomplished little or no good
In few cases their introduction has
tended even to aggravate labor diff
cultes.
THE beneficial result most fire.
quently. reported is an increase in good
will and in cooperative spirit between
employer and employees. A consider
able number of employers reported d
specifically that labor difficulties were
reduced because Of the introduction of
works councils.
Reduce Labor Turnover
"1n several cases the works council
was reported as influential in reducing
labor turnover.
"With respect to productive eff
cheney, evidences of positive benefit
resulting from works councils are
comparatively few, although in some
establishments marked increases in
output were attributed, in part at least,
to the existence of such organizations.
",Employers generally reported that a
relatively high type of employee has
been elected TO membership in works
councils"
In its essence, the works council
plan is not substitute for unions
the report concludes, and unions are
expected to remain potent j. problems

Daylight Saving Soon to
Be Live New York Issue
Question of Repeating State Law
To Be Up in Legislature
in January

ALBANY. Oct. Whether New
York will follow the example of the
national Congress and repeal the day
light saving law or take pattern from
the Board of Aldermen of New York
City and allow it to stand will be-
come a live issue within a few months
1t will be one of the questions re-
quiring early decision when the 1920
Legislature convenes in January.
When Congress passed the daylight
saving law early lit the spring Of 1918
the Legislature enacted similar
statute. Unless this statute is re-
pealed by the 1920 Legislature daylight
saving will continue as the official
policy of the state.
Daylight saving cannot be made
effective by statute, but must depend
entirely upon public acquiescence, is
the opinion of jerome l.. Cheney, First
Deputy Attorney General. The statute
merely advances the time an hour
from the last Sunday in April to the
last Sunday in October in Courts,
public Offices and legal and judicial
proceedings The public by their
acquiescencc in the change made it
universally effective.

U. S. Attorney Home
With Italian Bride
And Papal Rosary
200 Reservists Come Back
on Steamers Loaded With
Grapes, Olive Oil, Garlic,
Chestnuts, Velour Hats

Two Italian steamships laden with
grapes, velour hats, olive oil, chestnuts
and garlic, arrived here yesterday from
Genoa, Naples and Almeria and landed
a small number of cabin passengers.
On the Taormina came f. Paul va
selli, an assistant United States Attor-
ney, who recently married in Rome
Miss Pia Falcone, niece of an Italian
Senator, whom he met in Italy five
years ago. The couple were married by
Cardinal Rampolla in the Chapel of
Santa Cecilia, September Is. and after
the ceremony were received by the
Pope, who gave the bride a golden
rosary.
Another passenger on the vessel was
Celestine De Marco, who has the con-
tract for ridding the city streets Of
snow in blizzard weather. He said that
times were bad in Italy just now, and
the general feeling throughout the king
dom is that she has been deserted by
all her allies except the United States.
Unless America sends plenty of wheat,
coal and steel to Italy soon, he said
many factories will close and Italy will
suffer great commercial depression.
The vessel brought home 200 Italian
reservists, including Louis Ferraro. of
this city, who had been thrice torpe-
doed on Italian steam ships. = He had
served with the Italian merchant serv-
ice since July, 1915, and was cited three
times for bravery. On one occasion he
saved a sick Italian girl from death
while on the torpedoed steamship
Orione. Before joining Italy in the
war Mr.. Ferraro had fruit and vege-
table stall in Washington Market.
In the hold of the Taormina were
$4,000 barrels of Spanish grapes, 1000
cases of chestnuts, 1000 cases of olive
oil and 1000 cases Of velour hats.
On the Regina dItalia came the Rev.
Anthony Bove, rector of St. AIMS Ro-
man Catholic Church, of Providence
r. l., who had gone to Rome to at
tend the dedication of the Fiumicino
Orphan Asylum, which had been es-
tablished largely through gifts of the
people of Providence. He had an au-
dience with the Pope, who expressed
70 him his great love for America
The Pontiff informed him, he said
that he was particularly pleased with
the great liberty granted by America
to all religions of Christ and admired
the religious toleration of Americana
for all creeds.
The cargo of the Regina dItalia was
similar to that of the Taormina. She
carried $4,000 barrels of grapes ant
900 sacks of garlic.

German Opera
Will Continue.
Say Promoters
Statement Asserts Public
Opinion in Favor of 1t
Was Shown by Big Crowd
Present OH Opening Night

The Star Opera Company, whose
presentation of German opera at the
Lexington Theater last week led to
bitter protests from the American
Legion and rioting by service men and
civilians, announced last night that
the season of Teutonic music would be
resumed tomorrow evening.
The announcement came on the heels
OF the resignation Saturday of Harry B.
Herts, business manager of the COM
pany and the accompanying intima-
ton that the slim houses attending
some of the performances had caused
the hackers of the project to give up
the ghost for financial reasons.
Nothing could be further from the
truth, according to the statement is
sued last night by the press bureau
of the Star Company. The statement
follows:
at was stated in some of the Sunday
papers that the Star Opera Company
will discontinue the production of Ger
man opera at the Lexington Theatre.
This announcement, as the newspapers
resignation of Harry B. Herts, as act
ing manager, which was unanimously
accepted by the board of directors of
the Star Opera Company at special
meeting held last night
"The Star Opera Company denies
this statement, claiming that it comes
from misinformed and unauthorized
sources.
Monday being no regular opera
continue the production Of German
opera and will begin its second week
Tuesday evening with revival of
Weber's Freischutz,' to be repeated
On Wednesday and Thursday nights.
The management decided to postpone
their first Sunday night Wagncrian
concert until the coming Sunday
"Thc directors of the Star Opera
Company are resolved to continue
with the production of the proposed
and announced operatic program as
long as it can be produced on legal
basis and as long as the right Of pro-
guage is upheld by the courts and
protected by the police against
'maniacs,' as General Mangin the
French war hero, called people who
are opposed to 1he singing of German
opera. according to recent newspaper
reports from Paris.
ut was also stated that German
opera in New York succumbed to pub
lie opinion This could not be true,
even if the Star Opera Company had
stopped further performances. The in
clination of the public to support Ger
man opera was clearly shown at the
opening night, when the Lexington
Theatre was filled to capacity.
"Only brute force can stop the
music-loving and peaceful public of the
City of New York from supporting the
revival Of German opera at time when
trade relations are being resumed by
most of our allies with Germany and
the sun of peace and freedom shines
over the world"
