RUSSIAN BARITONE PLEAsES.

Boris Saslawsky. a young Russian
barytone of this city. who has sung here
before in recital. gave an interesting
programme of Russian songs, German
lieder, French lyrics and other selec-
tions yesterday at Town Hall. He sang
his list with frequent repetitions or en-
cores interspersed.
The singer showed fine intelligence in
his delivery and excellent dramatic
power in his interpretations. He is with
out doubt one of the best singers of
Russian songs now before the public.

far made no such demands upon the
limits of the piano in power of tone and
dazzling speed as when Mr.. Friedman
performed it yesterday.
The score was swiftly shorn Of much
of its grandiloquent splendor as he dashed
through the most difficult passages with
greatest brilliance and ease, and the
whole was finished several minutes
ahead of its average time for delivery.

Charles Reagan. president Of the

and will stay out until the 44-hour
week Is agreed to b. the shop own
ers and q satisfactory settlement
can be made on new wage demands.
Tho strike does not affect news

Claim is made BY the unions that
owners Of job printing shops here
are breaking . national agreement,
reached in . Joint conference In
March, 1918, relative to the 44-hour
week. Specific citation IL made to
the declaration Of the joint council
at Atlanta, Ca. last December, COW
ering this point.
Wage Demand 10 Local Affair.
The wage demand of the three
unions is confined to the local sit
uation, as to the amount being ask
ed. The union employees are now
receiving $3.50 for 4S-hour week
and are asking $44 for q 44-hour
week. -
Tho shop owners have refused to
agree TO put their shops on the
44-hour week basis, and have also
refused the wage demands. The
unions say their strike is being
called on the strength Of the re-
fusal to recognize the national
agreement for the 44-hour week.
The pressmen's union voted to
strike in meeting last Tuesday
night. The bookbinders' union took
the same action.
The International typographical
union issued instructions to the To-
cal union that 1t Is unnecessary to
take . strike vote a. the 44-hour
week will automatically become a
flaw beginning May 1 in the COM

Germany Pushing
Steps to Restore
Shipping Services
New Lines Being inaugural
ed and Vessels Secured i'm
Britain; Sale Of Teuton
Ships Causes Opposition

Indications that Germany is making
every effort toward the speedy restora-
II on of her shipping facilities are given
in recent reports from that country
The German Leynnt Line is reported d
to be inauguratiny new service from
Hamburg. to Oraii, Algiers, Fiume,
Trieste, Ancona and Bari.
A regular direct twice-a-week service
between Bremen and North Spanish
ports is being established by the
Bremen Shipping Company Neptune.
German papers state that the company
is considering starting sailings shor5ly
to south Spanish perts.
A project is on foot for the creation
of large Rhine navigation company,
with headquarters at Cologne, comprls-
ing exclus vely German and Dutch in
terests. The new company would re-
place the group folmed by the Rhen1sh
Coal Syndicate a.ld the Thyssen Com
pany. 1t is estimated that by July l
German industrial!sts will have a rive r
fotilla of about 10000 tons of bargas
on the Rhine. A considerable number
Of tugs and large quantities of mate
rial also have been ordered. This feet
would be reserved for the transport of
coal and metals, and would replace the
Rhine tonnage delivered and to be de-
livered to the Allies.
The 7,500-ton steamer Argentina has
heen completed 70: the Seebeck ship
yard of Geestemur de for the account
of the Hamburg South American
Steamship Company, which will use
her in the South American trade.
Bremen, has launched the 9,OO0-ton
steamship Sturmfels, building for the
Hansa Steamship tompany. 1t is stated
that she will MT have to be turned
over to the Allies.
The terms Of the peace treaty pro-
viding for the taking over by the ALLIES
of German tonnage and requiring Ger
many to build ships for the Allies at
the rate Of 100000 gross tons year
| for FIVE years are not meeting with
general approval in British shipping
and shipbuildng circles. Criticism is
also made of the throwing upon the
volume of seized German tonnage. The
English shipping weekly Fairplay says:
eve know that in Germany ship
wners are very sore with the Allies
for requiring that the whole of the
mercantile marine should be forfeited
90 the victors. On the other hand,
orne Allied shipowncrs and shipbuild-
ers are. mot altogether pleased with
the decision to dispose of the boats
en- bloc, for the offering of them has
seriously affected the value Of all tom
mage, and the throwing of the vessels
on the freight market has so greatly
depressed rates that both these and
image values have reached such a
figure that many shipowners who had
contemplated purchasing the ex-Ger-
man vessels have determined to hold
back until they have some chance of
knowing where they are.
ITO put it BADLY, if German work
men work and if sufficient raw material
is forthcoming, competition with her,
SO far, anyhow, as we are concerned,
