CLEVELAND DROPS
UNION CITY WORK
Departments Go On Open Shop Basis
As Labor Preference
Is Barred.

Cleveland, April 10.-Open shop
conditions will prevail in all city de-
apartments during 1922 as result of
a decision reached at a Board of
Control meeting this morning.
The board decided to disregard all
agreements now in effect with the
various unions, but agreed to pay
union wage scales turnout the various
departments.
In the past there have been no
written agreements with any of the
unions, but for years there have been
unwritten agreements, especially
governing the employment Of union
men at the municipal light plant.
There the union has always re-
ceived the preference. 1t is said, and
in other municipal departments the
preference has been "unofficially'
shown men with union membership
cards.
Now even the verbal agreements
must go, according to City Law Di-
rector Lamb. The unions will be no.
titled that the policy of the city has
been changed and that the admins
tration will abide by no agreement,
either verbal or written.
1--WE will take the men as they
come" Mr.. Lamb said. "The union
men will not be OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
but they will not be given the pre-
ference. Prevailing union wage
scale will be paid in every depart
ment, but there will be no agreements
of any sort"
Lamb declared the decision of the
board was not an attempt to force
union employees out Of the city's en-
ploy. He said it merely meant the
city was not tying itself up with any
labor organization.

Geona, April 12.-Prime Minister
Lloyd George of Great Britain con-
templates suggesting an agreement
for limitation of land ornaments in
Europe for a definite period, accord
ing to an unverified report, before the
adjournment of the present interna-
tional economic conference. The ar
my holiday it is thought, will be
patterned after the naval holiday
completed at the Washington confer
ence.
Disarmament continues to be the
most discussed question among the
delegates here, altho barred from for
NAL consideration following the mi
tial tilt between the French and Rus
sian delegations when M. Chitcherin,
Soviet Foreign Minister, endeavored
to bring it before the conference.
The statement of Louis Barthou,
head of the French delegation, to the
Associated Press last night, explain
ing why France cannot discuss disar--
mament at Genoa will probably re-
main the basis of the French attitude
on this question, despite the attempts
of the Russian delegation or other
national groups to raise the ISSUE
This is purely economic confer
ence," said the French leader, again
emphasizing Frances position, land
we have simply got to stick to our
agenda as America did at Washington
otherwise we will get nowhere"
Asked if France would be disposed
to discuss disarmament at some later
conference, Mr.. Barthou replied:
eff wanted to say the easy, pleas
ant thing my answer would be yes,
and yet the real answer of France is.
1--WE don't know"
Don't forget that we have before
us great army in Russia, and, while
Germany certainly is not a menace
at present, we have menace in the.
potentially great German army Of the
future. You have perhaps observed
the anodyne texture of the German
Chancellor's speech before the Genoa
conference. We do not know what
Germany will do, but can say this
my latest official reports from Paris
do not indicate that Germany is in a
tractable spirit concerning the vital
matters embodied in the Versailles
treaty"
Mr. Barthou emphasized that dis
armament programme is now under
consideration by the League of Ma
tions, which. he said, would doubt
less give it proper attention.

VARIANCE OF PENAL
LAWS is ASSAILED
Different Penalties For Same Crime
In Many States.

Washington, April 13.-(Capital
News Service) Senator Capper, of
Kansas, has recently introduced a bill
in the Senate to eliminate capital pun
ishment in the District of Columbia.
E. e. budding, president of the Pris-
oners' Relief Society, an organization
devoted to assisting men and women
who have served terms in the peniten-
tiary and have no friends of their own
when they come out, has written Sem
ator Capper, asking that he include
in his bill an amendment looking to
the notification of penalties in the
different states of the union.
Citing examples from the West Vir-
sinia penitentiary, where there are
200 Federal prisoners, Mr.. budding
says: lone is there for second-degree
murder, and has life, while beside
him are a hundred men serving five
years for second-degree murder.
There is one Federal convict serving
life for man-slaughter, and in the cell
with him is a state prisoner with five
years for the same charge.
"The highest penalty in Louisiana
for larceny is two years, while in Con-
necticut it is twenty years. in West
Virginia you steal $20-!t is thirty
days in Jail. If you take S21 then
you get ten years. If you want to
stop crime and unrest, make laws
just"
A further instance is not ed in the
daily press, in which judge who sem
fenced a man to prison for three years
for burglary, called him back to the
bar and resentenced him to six years
when the prisoner was rude to the
court

EXCLUSIVE SELLING
CONTRACT INVALID
Retailers Not Forced TO Garry Out
Pact Court Rules.

Washington, April 1O.-Contracts
of sale made by manufacturers re-
quiring retail dealers exclusively to
handle their products which amy
have the effect to lessen substantial
ly competition, today were held in
valid by the Supreme Court.
The opinion was delivered by JUS
tice Day in a case brought by the
Standard Fashion Company, a New
York corporation, against the Mag
rane-Houston Company, of Boston,
and sought to compel that retail COM
pany to observe contract which the
Supreme Court declared was one of
sale and not of agency or joint VEN
ture. Being a contract of sale, JUS
tice Day stated the only question to
determine was whether the facts es-
tablished that it would substantially
lessen competition.
Adopting the findings Of the Cir
cult Court of Appeals for the first
circuit of the results, obtained thru
the contract, the Supreme Court
reached the conclusion 'that the con-
tract. properly interpreted with its
restrictive covenant brings it fairly
within the section of the Clayton act
under consideration.
1t therefore affirmed the decision
of the Circuit Court which held the
contract invalid.
Under it's contract the Standard
Fashion Company agreed to sell its
standard patterns at a discount of so
per cent from retail prices and allow
certain return privileges when be-
tween certain dates semi-annually it
would receive in exchange to nine
tenths cost, discarded patterns. In
July, 1917. the Magrane-Houston
Company decided to discontinue the
sale of the Standard Patterns and
place on sale patterns of rival COM
pany. 1t was to enforce its contract
that the fashion company brought
suit.

As finely balanced. executed and led

Under the leadership of Pierre Mon

first appearance here this season. tna'
II has come back" and is now on
mar with any other orchestra in the
country, bar none.
Under the baton of NJ. MonteuX, the
orchestra played with a rerve ana pre-
Cision that was Il revelation, at tle
same time securing a depth of tone tha1
was astonishing. The program lnol-
Gated the excellent taste oil the CON
ductor, comprising some OF the Woriu 5
immortal music. Russia, Norway.
France and Germany were represented.
Peter TchaikovSky's symphony NO. T. III
F minor, formed the first section.
The four movements of the symphony
constituted musical treat, being pre-
sented with the greatest attentlon 10
detail: at the same time the grand CON
ception of the symphony as Whole
was ably kept in mind. The andante
sostenuto movement was gem ana tne
andantino movement no less en1oyapie
1t was in the scherZo, however, that tne
orchestra revealed the ability which 1t
now possesses as body. and which its
members possess as Individual mu-
sicians. Playing pizziacoto throughout
this fetching movement became Verl-
table water color in tone, being crisp.
clean and without flaw. At the end OF
the movement the audience accorded the
conductor and the players an ovation.
The finale was no less effective, form
ing d climax to as superb a presentation
of this favorite symphony as has ever
been the pleasure of local music lovers
to hear. .
Svendsen's THE Carnival in Paris. y
with its contrasting themes, now gay
and clashing. now sweet and melting,
alternately thrilled and charmed the
audience. This episode for full orches-
ira must be reckoned with the master
compositions combining as it does real
melody of the highest type and grace
with the clevereSt of orchestration. TWO
nocturnes by Debussy followed. MI
ages and "F'etes," the second being the
more enjoyable.
Wagner'S overture to "Rienzl, WITH
its inspiring measures. and use OF the
brass choir which closed the program,
held the audience until the last note.
Repeated applause forced the conduc-
tor to return and bow appreciation.
Taken as a whole and in it's individual
numbers. the program was of the high
est type, melodiouS and mastery, and
it does not seem possible that the play
ing could have been eXcelled. A
great orchestra has taken its rightful
