July 1. the date the strike began.
 The question of seniority which de- veloped after the strike began and proved to be the chief barrier to an earlier settlement was not specifically mentioned in the agreement which provides that the shopmen shall re- turn to work in positions of the class" they occupied before the strike.
 The agreement made no mention either of working conditions or the contract system for farming out" shop work, which,, with the wage con- troversy, were the original issues in the strike.
 Disputes over the relative stand ing of employees and new disputes which might arise as outgrowths of the strike, shall. under the peace terms, be referred to adjustment boards composed of six representa- tives of the carriers and an equal number of employees If the disputes cannot be settled as an individual matter.
 Must Return All Men
 The agreement requires the sigma tory roads to ind places for all re- turned strikers within 80 days after It becomes effective. Roads are not required to take back strikers who hay committed acts of violence.
 J. A. Franklin, president of the boilermakers said a great number of shopmen probably will be back at their old jobs within week,
 M,,@ ~ separate settlements was given by the shop crafts executive council to s. Davies Warheld, president Of the Sea- board Air Line and head of a rail- road securities company said to con- trol $l3,ooo, 100000 of stocks and bonds.

 F. Loomis of the Lehigh Valley rail- road today announced that 1t is out of the question for US to accept the plan proposed to end the rail strike. He said his employees are now forming an association of their own.
 Chicago, Sept. 14.--(By Associated | Press) Members of the shop crafts policy committee who yesterday ap- proved peace plans for ending the railway strike through separate agree ments with individual roads today be- gan separate settlement negotiations under terms of the agreement. Instructions to various system fed eration officials to enter signatory ne- gotiations and arrange agreements with their roads were sent out from union headquarters by Bert M. Jewell, chief strike leader and head of the railway employees department of the American Federation of Labor. Although the shop crafts executive council remained here with MT. Jew ell to direct the affairs of the railway shop unions in settling the strike pol ICY COlHIllllltt lltIllO0lo cChttSi eA " their respective districts soon after the settlement plan was adopted. 50 Roads Agree.
 Railway systems counted among those expected to sign the agreement immediately or soon were said to number about 50 of the POP class one roads of the country. This list does rot include the New York, New Ha- ven and Hartford.
 Some of the larger systems were counted among those willing to sign for immediate peace.
 The mileage affected today was es- timated at about 55,ooo of the 25o,- 0G0 miles in the United States.
 Instructions Confidential.
 The text of instructions to officials of system federations would remain confidential, Mir Jewell said He said also that union leaders would not make public at this time list Of the roads which were parties to the agreement. The reason for retaining the list, he said, was because of 9 continuous series of conferences with roads not already in the agreement.
 Any lists made public MT Jewell said would have to come from the railroads themselves.
 Efforts to verify published lists Of roads accepting the settlement drew denials from the Erie Burlington, Chicago, Great Western, Southern Pacific. Illinois Central and large number of other roads.
 \. Y. Central May Agree
 The New York Central group was one of the largest generally credited with planning to sign the agreement
 Under the terms of the peace plan shopmen are to return to work un- der wage scales prescribed by the U. s. Railroad Labor Board effective

Arrangements have been made with the J. M Curtin and com pany, for the use of the private ann bulance during the time the police wagon is out of commission. All em- ergency calls should be sent to the police just the same as in the past. The regular police work will be done in the service car.

Many Roads Agree.

Washington, Sept 14.-Advices to the labor department today from its representatives in Chicago said that 35 per cent of the country's mileage had signified their intention of end- ing the shopmen's strike on the basis of the agreement accepted yesterday by the shopcrafts general committee and the roads representing an addi- tional 30 per cent were ready to end the strike.
 The commission decided upon to Iadjudicate differences between workers and rail heads as provided under the agreement. labor department officials were informed would be composed of six shopcrafts representatives and not officials of the railroad brotherhoods, as originally provided. Section four of the agreement, the advices fur ther explained, was interpreted in Chicago by union workers to mean that the railroads signatory to the agreement will meet union represent atives on wage questions and all oth- CT matters growing out of the strike and upon failure to agree on points at issue, the questions under dispute will be referred to the commission providsA for in section five.
 Conferences Saturday.
 Direct negotiations to end the shop mems strike on the Southern railway on the basis of the agreement adopt ed by the shopcrafts general policy committee will be inaugurated at con- ferences to be held here beginning Saturday.

New Singers and
Operas Coming to
Russian Company

The Russian Grand Opera Company,
which ended an eventful career Of FIVE
years wanderiags and n generally un-
certain future with rs performances
hero last spring, has been taken over
By S. Hurok. the concert manager, who
has given its members a we'll deserved
summer vacation while arranging q
thorough reorganization to prepare the
company for a new transeontlnental
tour beginning next October. He has
already engaged a number Of additional
principals, among whom are Nina
Gusova, a lyric soprano who has sung
in the Petrogrhd and Moscow opera
houses; Zina Ivanova, dramatic So
prAno; Maria Zelanuvo, mezzo-soprano,
who arrived recently from Harbin, and
Victor Vassilev, a conductor from the
Marinsky Theater in Petrograd, while
he is negotiating for the acquisition
Of another tenor and eoloratura So
prano.
Seven operas new 10 this country will
be added TO the repertoire: Nous

Russian and Ludmilla." one Of the ear
liest "Nationalistic" Russian operas;
"Sadko," by Rimsky-Korsakoff; Rubin
STEMS Nero" Tschaikowsky's "Ma-
zeppa," "a Night Of Love-" by Valen-
tinov, n burlesque on n number Of stand
ard operas, and the comic opera Cam
ORA" by Esposito, an Italian living in
Moscow. The scenery, costumes and
mechanical equipment will be reno
waited and increased, and ballet corps
and chorus strengthened TO enable the
Russian Opera Company 70 be rated
among the foremost touring companies
during the coming season.
Mr. Hurok stated that his principal
motive in taking over the company is
TO place the organization on a self
supporting basis, so that II can con-
tinue its work for many years 10 come.
The educational and cultural value Of
the Russian Opera Company Is, he said,
inealeulable, "for they are pioneers
bringing to the world at large a mar

Of musical gems previously boarded
within the realms Of the ex-Czars."

Musical Dead Sea Apples Are
The Fruit of the World War
Complete Failure to Realize Ideal Expectations,
Folksongs and National Anthems; New
Polish Opera Produced
By n. E. Krehbiel

Has the World War left mark upon
music which will be obvious 20 the
critical historians who shall write In n
decade or generation from now2 We
cannot tell. but we doubt II. Thus
far no notable demonstration has been
impressed on us and the noise Of the
conflict is already a distant reverbera-
tion only. Great political upheavals
productive Of bloodshed have had
creative effect upon the music OF peo-
pies and nations, since peoples and
nations came into existence. Unques-
tionably the most primitive influence Is
expressed in folksong-the uneon-
seious art Of man. There were no
primitive people engaged in the World
War. but so stupendous a catastrophe
has always revitalized the creative
faculty which growth in covilization
atrophies. Our Civil War proved that
We are still singing some Of the songs
inspired by that war-songs, which
though not folksongs in the true sense
Of the word, are folksongs in spirit
and have a strength Of beauty which
saves them from oblivion. They are
one half a century old. but still make
powerful appeal 20 our aesthetic senses
and our emotions. How many OF
the songs composed during the
war which is still fresh in the memory
Of children Of twelve and fifteen years
Of age are upon their lips to-day? We
cannot remember hearing one within
the last three years. They may sur
vive in some communities remote from
the great centers Of life; Of that we
cannot speak because We do net-know.
We think that songs which were sold
by the million copies and sung by mil
lions OF voices are not only mute to-
day but forgotten. We cannot recall
one that was worth preserving. We
are not in a position TO count; we know
that, and perhaps we are talking more
or less into the air. But we have an
impression that the songs have died,
even on the phonograph records. They
we're ephemeral because they lacked
the essential beauty Of folksong.
We arc now speaking Of the Amer
lean songs alone. England, France
and Germany have Jared no better. In
all of these countries the political
songs which have persevered in liv-
ing arc songs Of older days, and the
products Of earlier popular eruptions'
Love for the homeland is probably
stronger sentiment in Germany than
in anv of the countries. But we have

Tn the Realms Of Music and Art
Metropolitan Music
Is Example for
London Gallery

The eight concerts given each win
ter at the Metropolitan Museum are
cited by English papers as an example
for n recent experiment in the Ma
tional Gallery, where a string quartet
from the Royal College Of Music
played Beethoven and Haydn. The ex.
pertinent was successful, 10 Judge by
the crowd attracted by the concert,
according to "Tne Morning Post"
which hints at further such perform
anees in the autumn. "The Daily
Telegraph" places the attendance at
3,OOO in spite Of the sixpcnec admis-
sion fee, and sees a new way 20 bring
both art and music to the people at
large without any further burden to
the taxpayers.
1--WE need not. however, anticipate
orchestral concerts In the National
Gallery" warns THE Daily Telegraph"
which considers the string quartet's
concert 10 have been "idoal IN every
respect" To ask for famous players,
for yirtuosity, FOR thrills would en-
danger the future Of the plan BY at
tempting to make the picture galleries
rival the concert halls. There un-
doubtcdly," continues the Telegraph" "
exists some connection between the
two arts OF music and painting. The
pleasure derived from listening 20
beautiful melodies is enhanced when
the eye is at the same time delighted
by some lovely canvas or drawing.
Music Of the egotistical, virtuoso order
would doubtless destroy that harmony.
Similarly Il would be advisable 10 de-
bar solo pieces II n change from
chamber music should be considered
desirable, the only fitting parallel
would be a small choir with a vast
repertoire Of Old English, as well as
modern, music No doubt there are
solo pieces which might be considered
suitable, but II one OF them is admitted

far more difficult and lead, possibly, 20
controversy and endless debates. In
any case Il is fallaey 10 believe that
the public as a whole has a bias for
tho best things, as those who forget

Such concerts, thinks the writer, will,
besides bringing music within easy
reach OF everybody, enable the art gal
leries TO exercise a much wider inhu-
ence. The power OF appreciating pic
lures Is, for the majority, a matter Of
education, and those who are attracted
by the music will cultivate a genuine
love for art. "The greatest benefit"
he says, will be reaped by the public
at large, who will have the opportunity
Of enjoying both music and paintings
under specially favorable conditions"

Features of Week at Stadium

The popularity and the huaiehees OF
the Stadium concerts continue un-

certs in past seasons, but the more
serious numbers appear TO draw the

After the armistiee, Pilsudski, then

70 come to Warsaw for n conference.
When Paderewsk arrived at the coun-
ell chamber, Pilsudski, unused TO the
diplomatic etiquette belonging TO such
occasions and at loss for the right
thing to say, left the man who was des-
tined to become the Premier Of Poland
standing ungreeted on the threshold
The silence became embarrassing.
Finally, Pilsudski, whose eye wan
dered about the room as II seeking for
A way out Of the difficulty, discovered
