Uncle Harry Talks
About the Railroad Strike

that the officers OF the unions have
not been able TO restrain or per-
suade the men from going on
strike. The rapidly rising cost Of
living everywhere. and the inabII-
ity OF any of the governments TO
lower the cost OF living has un-
doubtedly made the workers dissat-
isfed and impatient. In any num-
ber OF instances the officers Of the
unions have tried TO control the men
and persuade them not to strike, but
without success.
The food shortage that Is likely
to develop as a result OF a strike OF
railroad workers, which in turn
cripples the transportation system
Of the country, is so serious and
affects so many people that some
way ought to be found 20 prevent
such occurrences. The new railroad
labor board appointed by President
Wilson the other day under the new

That is a term used in referring
to a strike that is called by a group
of workmen and not by one of the
regular unions" explained Uncle
Harry. For many years practically
all the railway employees in the
country mean the employees on
the trains and in the yards-have
belonged TO what are known as the
Brotherhoods. There is the Broth
erhood of Locomotive Engineers.
the Brotherhood of Locomotive Fire
men and Engineers. the Brotherhood
Of Railroad Trainmen, and the
Order of Railroad Conductors.
These four organizations have been
known as the Big Four and have
for years directed the efforts of the
railroad workers throughout the
country to secure incresses in
wages and improve working condi-
tions. The Brotherhoods are sep
arate organizations from the Amer
lean Federation OF Labor"
But the railroad strike wasn't
called by the Brotherhoods, was it?''
asked Joe.
NO. this strike started among the
railroad switchmen in Chicago. and
the Brotherhoods, as organizations.

striking" said Uncle Harry. First,
the Chicago switchmen who went on
strike organized new union, and,
when the strike spread to other
parts Of the country. other new
unions were organized. II was be-
cause the railroad workers went on
strike in opposition to the Brother
hoods that IL has been called an
outlaw strike At the same time

erhoods or had been until recently"

Teaching By the Phonograph

Giuseppe AgostinI. dramatic tenor
with the San Carlo Grand Opera
Company. 10 the exponent OF q new
process. or at least a new adjunct,
In the teaching OF singing. It is the
use of the phonoEraph In teaching
tone production and voice place
ment.
3 TT has long been admitted that
the phonograph furnishes to the pu-
Pill the most practical study OF the
voices OF great singers. but this Is
only the beginning OF its use In the
vocal studio. The mere fact that
the young singer has the advan-
tage of possessing and studying
records OF famous voices in his
home has long been obvious, ana
there is nothing new in advocating
such study.
What do advance, however, is
the much greater progress to be
made by allowing the pupil to hear
reproductions of his own voice on
the phonograph. This gives the
teacher an opportunity to anaiyze
and illustrate TO the pupil each
fault noted and explain how It may
be corrected. After the imperfec-
ton has been corrected. another
later record will enable the pupil TO
hear his voice again and fully real

ever known before. and other sing
ers have told me the same thing.
In fact, could mention several
great singers who never became
recognized as such until after they
had begun to make phonograph
records. and so had an opportunity
to study their own voices"
This is Mr.. Agostinis explana-
ton Of his theory Of the adaptation
Of reproductive machines and rec
ords to the vocal studio.
However. this popular tenor has
done more than just talk about this
method OF instruction. for between
seasons Of the San Carlo Grand
Opera Com oany he has taught sing
ing in his own studio in New YORK.
where he has subjected each one of
his pupils to the phonographlc proc
ess through an arrangement with
one Of the factories where such
records are made and reproduced.
