Opera Musicians
Ask Higher Pay
Increases Contemplated
by Union May Bring
Minimum, to $50 Week

Directors of the Metropolitan Opera
House take keen interest in a vote
which members of the Musical Mutual
Protective Union soon are to take on
questions involving pay increases for
operate orchestras. The scale con-
templated by the union, it was said last
night, would give every member Of the
orchestra minimum salary of S96 a
week and add 100000 to the seasons
expenses.
An increase in the price Of onera
tickets was one of the methods svre
gested to meet the demands which are
expected. There is the alternative of
reducing the size of the orchestra and
limiting the number and length of re-
hearsals.. Under the rules which the
union is inclined to impose rehearsals
would Iadd to the amount of the paw
The Musical Mutual Protective Union
Is IS the local branch of the American
Federation of Musicians. The proposed
pay increases which are to be voted on
soon would give every. musician $40
instead OF 50 as minimum pay for
every. performance of less than three
hours duration, with $5 extra for over
,lme. The charge for rehearsals would
pc 81 an hour, no rehearsal to be less
than an hour in length.
Existing union rules call for at least
eight performances a week, so under
the proposed rates the least member

Each rehearsal occupies two hours,
and if the union adopts the new rules,
the pay envelope Of $50 would be fat

limited strictly to three hours each.

Inform Sweet That Thev
Are Opposed to State
Referendum on the
Pro h i b ition Issue
Speaker Advocates
A Vote of Nation
Senate Leaders Think the
Beer Bill Would Pass.
= but Not Wine Measure
From a staff Correspondent


ALBANY, March 10-Republican
members of the Assembly from upstate
districts who saw service in France,
when they learned to-day that Speaker
Sweet and other legislative leaders were
planning to leave the light wine and
beer bill high and dry and submit a
referendum on the liquor question to
the voters next fall, served notice that
they would call in body on the Speaker
and demand that he execute q right
about face.
"We're against referendum" was
the burden Of their protest. "We want
France"
Sweet Faces Both Ways
When Speaker Sweet was told of the
sentiment of the ex-service men he is
sued a statement, in which he declared
his "unalterable opposition" to a refer
endum, and ln the next breath said that
the only way to handle the question was
through a national referendum.
Mr.. Sweets statement follows:
IL am unalterably opposed to any
referendum on the liquor question. for
the reason that a referendum will pet
us nowhere.
The only way to handle the question
is to go back to Congress and begin
IN the regular way to undo what has
been done.
That means that if the people want
1t Congress must submi: referendum
to make null and void the Eighteenth
Amendment. | see no other way of
handling the matter from a legislative
angle.
""Of course, the courts may do some
thing that will change the situa-
ton, but so far as legislative action
is concerned there is nothing to do
but consider the question from the
standpoint of new amendment sub
mltted from Washington.
mo referendum could be devised
that would do anything but express a
sentiment Even if 80 per cent OF the
people voted against prohibition that
would not change the law"
Champion cf Bill Confident
Colonel Ransom H. G;llett. who is
leading the fight for light wine and
beer bill, declares that he can swing
enough votes in the Assembly to put
through his bill permitting the sale
OF beer containing 3l2 per cent of
alcohol, and 10 per cent wines
Senate leaders said to-day that the
'wets" have the votes to put through
beer bill, but doubt their ability to
pass measure providing for the max
ing and sale OF light wines.

My mother was born and reared In

mother lived 1t was the custom to be-
gin Sunday on Saturday night at sun
down. The "hired man" came In from
the chores, grandmother put away all
her work in the kitchen, and then the
entire family gathered In the "best

lesson. or had reading from the
Bible. led by grandfather. and all the
family retired not later than . o'clock.
In the morning. after doing none
but the absolutely necessary chores on
the farm, the team that had not been
used the day before was hitched up to
the big four-seated wagon and the en-
tire family including the SHRED" help,
went to church. There was preaching
service In the forenoon, and then we
adjourned to lunch for ourselves
and the team. Then we went in to

and drove slowly back to the farm.

Highway Problem
in State of Tenn.

Vast sums Of money have beer
made available for highway construc.
ton throughout the United States.
Over three-quarters of a billion dol
lars was available for 1920. Less
than two-thirds of this sum will be
expended. Next year, and the fol-
lowing five years, similar sums will
be at the disposal of the highway
departments. Such a program is
the largest that has ever faced the
engineering profession
The greatest period of railroad
construction was from 1879 to 1883
when some $SOO,OOO,OOO were ex.
pended. This feat has been looked
upon as great engineering feat,
and it was. But when compared
with the highway program it only
emphasizes the magnitude of sums
available for highway construction.
Trained Men Needed
Before the war highway depars-
ments were organized to expend
comparatively small sums of money.
With the development of the high
way program these departments
have been expanded to many times
their former size. There is hardly
a highway department in the United
States that does not need larger
number of trained engineers. In
Tennessee the highway department
has given employment to all engi-
neers who have qualified by taking
their examination and who were
open for employment. The program
will be further expanded during the
next five years and still more en-
gineers will be needed.
The probable need in Tennessee
will reach betwee TWENTY-FIVE and
fifty men annually to care for ex-
pansion and to replace men who 60
into other lines of work. The en-
cheering colleges are not furnish
ig graduates fast enough to meet
the needs. 1t takes four years to
give high school graduate suffici-
ent training to enter the engineer
ing profession. There are hun
dreds of men( however, throughout
the United Stats who have been in
the engineering profession for many
years and who, if they had small
amount of highway training, could
shift into highway work.
Special training should be offered
these men. A number of colleges
and universities are undertaking 70

University of Michigan has adopted
special courses for graduate engi-
1eers. Other universities give road
conferences of one week or more

Ways, the attempt being to satisfy
