H0NoRs BRAHMs's MEMORY.
Philharmonic Plays New Fantasy
at Anniversary Concert.


The Philharmonic Society gave tho
first Of two concerts IN commemoration
OF r-e twenty-fifth anniversary Of the
death Of Johannes Brahms, who died
April, 1897, last evening In Carnegie
Hall. The first half of the program
was given over to the masters G minor
symphony. Mr.. StranslSy's reading OF
the score had dignity and feeling, al
though there were some perfunctory
and monotonous moments. AT the
close the applause was warm and Mr..
Stransky had the orchestra share II
with him.
The three numbers after the inter-
mission were Strauss's brilliant tone
poem, Death and TRANSPORTATION" ;
Emerson Whithorne's symphonic fan
tasy, I'm the Court Of Pomegranates,"
and Wagner's "Tannhaeuser" overture.
The Whithorne fantasy had Its first
performance anywhere. Mr.. Whithorne.
who lives in Cleveland, o., was intro
duced to Philharmonic audiences on
January 6, 1918, when Mr.. Stransky pro-
duced his characteristic piece. ''The
RAIN" at one Of the society's Sunday
concerts.
His composition heard last night was
written In 1918. and the program notes
contained some information concerning
II which was furnished by himself. Para-
phrased lines from John Hays "Castilian
Days preface the score. which tell OF
the scarlet blossoms Of gay pomegranate
trees, gigantic cacti. strange birds, much
feasting and loving, lovely court in a
distant age-all now seeming but a
fable. Thus does the composer suggest
the atmosphere Of his work. which is
without any definite program.
At first hearing it seemed as though
the composer had hardly made full use
Of the suggestions offered him by his
text. On the other hand, the three inn
portant themes were treated with much
skill In melodic orchestration fancy, law
ish color and languorous mood. The
fantasy was admirably played by the or
chestra, and at the close the composer
come upon the platform and bowed his
Acknowledgements with Mr.. Stransky.
The second Brahms memorial concert
Of the society will take place this after
noon In the same hall, when the masters
fourth symphony will be given in place
of the first. given last night. The re-
mainder Of the program will remain un-
changed.

Labor Discovers the Law.

That the court victory Of the gar
ment workers over their employers
should excite so much interest is not
because legal precedent has been up
set, for Justice WAGNERs decision is
based on the traditional inviolability
of contracts. The novelty of the case
lies in the fact that it is the first
time in this part of the country that
organized labor has sought legally to
restrain capital from violating con-
tractual obligation.
The legal remedy for wrongs in the
world of labor has always been ready
for the injured to take; but, as JUS
tice WAGNER says, heretofore the
employer, alone has prayed the pro.
lection OF a court of equity against
threatened irreparable acts of the
employee" That was not the fault
OF the law. which does not know the
employer from the employed. 1t was
the fault Of distrust sowed for
many years in the minds of organ.
Ized labor by its own false friends.
The present case, in which Justice
WAGNER holds that the Cloak, Suit
and Skirt Manufacturers Association
broke its contract with the Interna.
tional Ladies' Garment Workers
Union, should open the eyes of the
rank and file in organized labor to
the fact that the laws are for them
ias well as for their employers. For
years they have heard the courts
maligned by labor agitators, who
shouted that courts were places from
which government by Injunction
| issued.
Now the workers find themselves
in possession of one OF those dread
full injunctions. il enjoins their EN-.
tployers from further abrogating the
broken contract. 1t opens the way
for an employees suit to recover
damages. 1t shows the men and
women Of organized labor that they
may find in the courts the justice
which never can be attained through
violence and disorder.
AS might have been expected, some
Of the labor agitators do not like the
emphasis which Justice WAGNER S
decision has put upon the fact that
equity is open to employer and EN-.
ployee alike" Even NORRIS HLLoUIT
who is one of the counsel for the win.
ming union, declines to be converted
to the opinion that court injunctions
are the proper method of adjusting
industrial disputes" Some of the
men who depend upon strikes and
picketing for the adjustment Of such
disputes will take similar view.
They must see dwindling Of their
power.
But the public will be pleased. II
will hear less of the curbstone talk
about justice being only for the rich.
And that ancient phrase government
by injunction" will go to the junk
heap where such fiction belongs.

Pedestrians at Fault.
Like Motorists They Are Accused
of Being Th0ughtless.

To THE NEW York HERALD: Your
editorial article entitled 'Those Who
Need Traffic Cops" did my heart good.
Having been both pedestrian and
n motorist upon many occasions both In
and out of New York city have some-
what the viewpoint of both. 1t is not
my intention to attempt to gild al
drivers, for / am quite aware some are
very thoughtl. and inconsiderate, but
it is rs ther my opinion that those faults
apply to a larger proportion of persons
afoot.
Many pedestrians expect the motorist
TO watch not only the traffic In the
streets but the sidewalks to see Just
who is preparing to step off perhaps
hundred feet or more ahead. Besides
having to be constantly on the alert the
motorist must keep the control Of his
machine in mind. Many times l have
witnessed pedestrians approach cross
street. step or the curb directly in the
path of an approaching vehicle and
then for the first time look up or down
the street and be very much put out
IL the car barely brushes by or grinds
its brakes to a short stop In order not
to run down the offender.
When a traffic policeman Is on duty
traffic would move much more smoothly
and with fewer accidents II those on foot
would obey his commands and not dodge
in and cut between vehicles when the
latter have the right of way. Another
great offense Is dashing across the path
way Of cars on a slippery pavement
when doing so means making 1t neces-
sary to brake the car severely. Such
a practice endangers not only the pedes-
TRANS life but the lives of the driver
and occupants of other cars In that VI
clnity. because skidding is imminent In
the majority Of cases.

lie sentiment is another. Sentiment
does not answer demands. 1t is not
amenable to the letter of the law
Sentiment springs from the heart,
not from a statute. 1t cannot be
drafted or drilled. Sometimes it is
created. but in the present instance
the law and it's supposed enforcers
have done very little in that particu-
lar direction.
The District Attorneys, instead of
going through the absurd motions of
demanding" public sentiment for
the prohibition laws, might better re.
turn to their respective homes and
get after the millionaire bootleggers,
the wood alcohol venders. the speak
easies and all the other criminals, in
Office and out, who are violating the
liquor law.
Until the law ceases to be a joke
among the bootleggers and their
kind failure to enforce it will be a
joke among the people. How can
the most sober citizen restrain a
smile when he reads of bootleggers
backing their trucks up to Govern
ment warehouse and stealing tons Of
whisky?
The embattled District Attorneys
need not become vexed because pub
lie sentiment does not burst out on
demand. There is plenty Of senti-
ment in the public breast, but it
emerges only spontaneously. An ap-
peal for it might produce some meas
ure of response. but a demand for
it arouses mifth or resentment.

Fire Prevention Week

Very special attention is called
to the proclamation issued by the
Fire Marshal in regard to the
observance of FIRE PREVEN-
TION WEEK, which will be gen
orally observed all over the State.
The reminder is timely, as we
are just on the eve of the fire sea-
SOD, and it is a ciyic duty incum-
bent upon every man, woman and
child individually and collectively
to observe preventative rules and
precautions not only during this
week, but at all times.
Statistics prove that most of the
fires are the result of negligence
and carelessness and the first thing
to do during the period named
should be to inspect homes and
business places, locate all danger
spots and remedy them, clean
chimneys, remove all inflammable
debris and do it all thoroughly.
Children. too, must be impressed
with the importance of fire pre-
vention and the fire marshal sug
gests special instructions and fire
drills in all the schools during this
week, and if everybody goes into
this movement as they should and
MUST, fire losses and fire risks
both to life and property will be
materially reduced.
