"Rigoletto."

verdi's "Rigoletto" was presented
before a large and enthusiastic audi
ence at Polls Theater last evening by
the san Carlo Grand Opera Company
of Fortune Gallo. The score was well
cast, with Queena Mario singing
Gilda. Mario Vale in the role of Rigo-
lett". Pilade Sinagra as ;he Duke of
Mautua, pietro de BiaSi as Sparafucile
and May Barron as Maddaiena. Other
members of the cast included Natalie
Cervi as ontenerone. Frances Moro
SIM as Contessa Di Ceprano. Amedeo
Bald as Borsa and Alice Homer as a
page. Particularly well suited to the
role of Sparafucile was the very fine
basSo of Pietro de Biasi. His voice
is deep and mellow. powerful in VOL
umc and impressive in execution.
Mario Vale. as father of the ill-fated
Gilda. was indeed. a triumph in both
vocal and dramatic portrayal. Quecna
Mario scored the same success in this
as in her previous performances dur
ing this week of grand opera. Espe-
cially beautiful and impressive was
the Caro- nome solo.
The pure and rich contralto of May
Barron was very effective. and Pliade
Sinagra's tenor was in excellent form.
The concerted numbers as well as the
individual scores were sung with emo
tional finish throughout the perform
ance Despite prolonged applause and
cries of bravo following both the
"PianGi fanciulla" duet and the ever
popular Bella figlia DELI amore"
quartet. encores were not permitted.
and the audience was plainly dis
appointed.
The choruses were excellent. and
under the direction of Gaetano Merola
the orchestra furnished an enjoyable
feature of the evenings performance.
While the two interior scenes could
boast no redeeming feature from an
artistic point of view. the two out
door scenes were quite beautiful, and
were made especially realistic through

LAUCK DIGS DEEP
IN RAIL ECONOMIES
Adds a Few Dashes of Color
to Gloomy Picture Roads
Paint.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
CHICAGO, April 30.-The railway en-
ployes fighting wage reductions before
the Railway Labor Board delved into the
economics Of the present industrial de-
preston yesterday, adding few dashes
of color to the gloomy picture of the
transportation industry, painted by
the railroads. The future. the en-
ployes declared, would again see nor
NAL conditions on American railroads
and temporary difficulties of the
present. they contended. should not
be shouldered onto the employees in
wage reductions.
The financial performances of the
roads in the past were recited at
length in exhibits presented by w.
Jett Lauck. economist for the rail-
way unions. An analytic exhibit on
the cause of the present Industrial
depression went into the reasons for
high prices and traffic slump. stating
that the depth of the depression had
passed and that an industrial re-
Vival was appearing on the horizon.
There seems to be Concerted'bpin-
ion among economists and business
experts, however, that the slump in
security markets has run its course;
that commodities. which have fallen
Will rise al any moment: interest
rates will be lower and in conse-
Gu"ncc security prices will advance;
that business revival beginning this
spring Will be aCcelerated.'
In the face of such forecasts. the
railroads were not justified in further
"detiating" labor by forcing wage
reductions. Mr.. I.auck contcndcd.
MIR. WaIber Questions.
The relevancy of Mr.. Lauck's entire
argument was questioned. however,
by John G. Walber, representing the
eastern roads, who said he was un-
able to see its application to the
wage hearing.
The transportation act outlines
certain principles, especially cost of
for fixing rates of pay" Mr. Walber
said. We have presented our evil
dencc on that basis
That involves our point exactly"
Mr.. Lauck replied. I'VE think there
are other and more important con-
siderationS. such as human stand
ard of living. Because you can hire
labor in cheap labor market. do
you think you ought to hire it at such
low priccs?"
The American Federation of Labor
group yesterday finished its case. cx-
ccpt for presentation of some cost of
living statistics. and the hearing ad
journed until Monday. At that time
eleven independent employees organi-
cations will be heard. and on Tue Sdav
the Train Service Brotherhood will
appear.
Meanwhile the Shop Crafts will
proceed to outline uniform SGT of
rules to replace the national agree
ment, to be used as the basis of ne
gotiations. recently ordered by the
board, on the individual railroads.

GOMPERS RAPS WAGE CUT.
Calls Reduction Foolhardy, as Cur
failing Consuming Power.

Reduction of wages by some en-
ployers was assailed last night in
statement issued by President Com
pers of the American Federation of
Labor. as mot only unjustified." but
the most foolhardy manner by which
to emerge from any Industrial reac-
ton"
Mr.. Gompers said that "all agree
that industrial revival and the inau-
guration Of a new era of prosperity
depend, in the largest degree, upon
the purchasing, consuming and using
power of the great mass Of the
people. To reduce wages is to cur
tail the using and consuming power
Of the people. The offer and forcing
of one reduction is almost invariably
followed by others. The whole
thought is uneconomic and contrary
to the interests and welfare of our
national progress, advantage and
prosperity.
