Dr.. 0'Crady Also Says U. S.
Workers May Be Salvation

American labor must develop to
be the political salvation Of the
country as English labor has been
to England.
Such IL the opinion Of the Rev.
DR.. John O'Grady, professor Of
sociology Of the Catholic University,
who has just returned from a three
months trip through seven Euro
pean countries.
DIR. O'Grady says American labor
now parallels British labor of the

revelations Of scandal and corrup-
ton in the Federal Government will
hasten the coming Of political
labor party in America similar to
the party Of Macdonald now in
power in Great Britain.
DR.. O'Grady is enthusiastic about
the British labor cabinet. He de-
clared he has been won over to the
new policies Of this cabinet and was
deeply impressed" with the labor
Members Of every

MASCAGNPS VENTURE

Special Dispatch to The Star aud The New
York World
BERLIN, September 22.-The Com
poser MaScaSni has made one OF the
biggest failures of an operate pro-
duction Germany has ever seen. The
Actors club of Germany is ncSottat-
ing with banks in an effort to get
him out of the hole.
MascaEni decided Berlin was an
ideal spot for monster production
of Aida Backed by Austrians, he
engaged cast of 1000 persons, and
prepared all the most elaborate set
tings. But none Of them thought to
eckon how much they had spent and
what they could get.
\ single performance cost $4,000,
and three of them brought in less
than 10000. The hackers had used
borrowed money almost entirely, and
the banks stopped the opera after
three performances. Ten had been
scheduled. The Actors Club hopes
to be able to arrange matters so the
maestro can continue with the othe r
seven in Il smaller thrater and on a
less EranCioSe scale.
