CONTROVERSY ON BETWEEN
 ... RAILROADS AND EMPLoYEs

Chicago, Jan. 1o.-Charges that Amer ican railroads are in a conspiracy to create unemployment and are defraul- ing the American people out If millions of dollars through operation of ? cost plus system of contracts with rtIuipre ent and repair companies were n,a1e today by representatives. of employees of the roads. appearing before the railroad la bor baord. The railroad operators I're- sented counter testimony all afternoon, and will continue their statement tomor- row.
 The employees charges, which declared that 80 per cent. of the railroad mileage in the country was controlled by the Morgan steel interests, asserted that maintenance costs had been inflated at the expense of the public. This was done, according to the statement of B. NJ Jewell. head of the railway employees of Labor. by letting contracts to equip ment companies, controlled blythe same banks that control the railroads"
 Under the Esch- -Cummns act, the al- leged inflated costs constitute a fraud against the United States government and operate to throw out of employ sment more than 50, 900 skilled railway em- ployes." MT. Jewell said
 Declaring that the charges had no reJe- vancy. to the hearing on rules and work. | ing conditions under consideration before the board, E. T. Winter, chairman oi ] the managers committee of the rail ; roads, asserted that they were made 'tc
 divert public attention from the matter. 1 in controversy"
 ] Examples designed to show inequality | in. present rules were recited ,n detail by i by MT. Winter. He declared the presen
 national agreements should not, !n tn, 1 interests of honest, efficient and ecorc l nical management, be continued longer
 and said universal application cf thei
 provisions was impracticable because th, only parties fully qualified to conside such regulations are the individual man
 agements and the employees themselves. MT. Winter urged return to the piec work plan. He declared that was recog l nized as the most efficient method of op
 eration and attempted to show what ha
 had been accomplished under the piec work system as compared with the sam
 work now done by the hour.
 Specified. hours and restricted startin
 times were deplored by MT. Winter a
 uneconomical practice. Overtime and e
 tra shifts were cited on several roadg - show that the work done could be De. tformed by regular shifts in regula !. hours, if the roads were not restricte by the present rules. - Today's session was adjourned befor
 the completion of Mir. Winters stat,
 ment. He will resume his testimony tc

tremendous reputation. Mr.. Rose,s
reading of the last movement was origi-
nal and Ingenious. even II It might not
stand the analysis OF classicism.
The third of the principal numbers
was the Chausson Poeme. which depends
largely upon the orchestral colorinB for
its effect, and having been heard with
orchestra, as has been heard here twice,
the piano accompaniment sounds rather
fat. In spite of this. Mr.. Rose did the
best work Of the evening in II: rising
at times to considerable poetic heights
This was the case far more than In the
other works, but the reason for this
NAV have been that the composers did
not put any poetry into their compost
tions. He closed with a group OF shorter
numbers by Wieniawski, Sarasate and n
good arrangement by himself of Rimsky-
Korsakofr's Hebrew Love Song"
Summed UP, Mr.. Rose is a good vio-
linist in all the elements which 60 to
make up violin playing without being
superlatlya In any of them. He has 4
pleasing tone in quality and moderate
in volume with sufficient technique TO
play the Lalo, which Is enough for all
practical purposes, but his technique Is
never astounding His program gave
little opportunity to judge him as an in
terpreter. although he was at his best
in the most difficult work on the pro-
gram to interpret-the Chausson Poenle.
The audience was moderate in size but
enthusiastic.

THE ROSE RECITAL
Young vlolinist Makes First Appear
ance In PhlIa. at Academy Concert

Maxlmilian Rose. young Russian
violinist made his philadelphia debut
at the Academy OF Music last evening
and created, on the whole. a favorable
impression. Mr.. Rose selected a singu-
larly uninteresting program. consisting
of three long and ambitious numbers
none OF which Is OF superlative beauty,
and a group of shorter and more at
tractive pieces at the close Of the pro-
gram.
He began with the inevitable G minor
sonata of Tartini. work which in the
Kreisler cadenZa exhibits a certain trill
technique but a composition so hope
lessly out OF date musically as TO chill
the enthusiasm OF almost any audience
at the start. Mr.. Rose played the work
we'll and showed a fluent trlll technique.
The Lalo Symphonic Espagnol followed,
violin concerto which Is frankly dull
musically but somehow has achieved a
