Efforts TO have Shakesperian se-
tors omit "The Merchant Of Venice"
from their repertoire, will be made
by the Herzel Club Of Washington,
on the grounds that it creates .
false impression Of the Jewish race.
SAY CHARACTER IS UNREAL.
The Merchant OF Venice Is an at
front TO the honor. dignity and intog-

to the world a type OF man described
as a Jew. but who. in reality. Is an
untrue conception, given solely for
the purpose of creating an i'll feel

club declared.
1.-THE Jew has always been known
to be upright in his ideals and NOR

laws OF the land in which he IL n
resident, and to a wholesome abb
horrence of the sight OF bloodshed or
strife.
CORRUPTs OPINION.

go, In the opinion of the joint re-
classification conference as an
nouncec today.

bly, brought before the conference by
mschinists, bookblnders and other
trades in the Government service
that their salary scales have been
changing so rapidly that teh recon-

set by the commission were based on
figures OF Investigations made a year
ago, since which time both living
and salary conditions have materially
changed. This is especially true Of
all Government employees OF the me-
chanical and trades class in which
new wage scales are amde yearly in
outside employment.
The commissions salary recon-
mendations will become less practi-
cal as the months go by. it Is de-
clared, and IL Congress will not take
final action on the report until next
year IL is said that the salary recon-
mendations will all be out OF date.

this condition has not been decided
upon. but some action viii be taken
when the subject comes before Con
