not NECESSARY

In order to make plain The posi-
tion of the FL Centro Chamber of
Commerce, relative to the recent
action of the directors in refusing
10 sanction sending F.. W. Cuff,
president of the Associated Cham
bers of Commerce. TO Washington,
to assist in lobbying for the Swing,
Johnson bill, the directors, AT their
,neeting "Wednesday night, went on
rccOld as being limly III favor Of
doing anything that may assia: OBJ
tanning favorable action on he bill.
However, it was the unanimous
opinion that as Cogressman Swing
has not asked for any additional
help, the Associated Chambers
should not go to the expense of
sending Mr.. Cuff to Washington,
unless it was made plain that his
presence was needed there and that
a request to that effect had been
made by Congressman Swing. II was
asserted by the directors that too
large delegation might have an
adverse effect on the work of lob
bying for the bill, instead of being

Hit in Speech by
RefOrn,ist Leader

SALT LAKE CRY, Utah, April
Echoes of MILFORD Woodruff's
manifesto of 1906 banning polyga-
NOUS marriages from Mormonism
were heard here today when the
spring conference Of the Mormon
church convened.
Three times recently President
Heber J. Grant has issued state
ments denying responsibility for
plural marriages in the church and
branding those guilty IS defiant
violators Of church and civil laws"
Some members Of the sect, church
officials declared, foster polygamy
and refuse to acknowledge the
church's disavowal of plural mar
rage laws. Heated discussion was
expected to develop.
The conference ends Sunday.
Mormons from thruout the United
States and several foreign countries
are here.

Australian Bosses
Launching Vigorous
Onslaught on Unions
BY w. FRANCIS AHERN.
(Stah Correspondent of The Federated Pre-

SYDNEY, N. S. W.-Thruout Aus
tralia the employers are launching a
combined attack against the workers.
They plan to enforce lower wages
and a reduced standard of living.
Thousands of workers have enjoyed
conditions second to none in any
other part Of the world. Wages from
a purchasing power point of view
were relatively higher than else
where, working conditions of the best
and the trade union movement was
exerting power in the land.
To break down the unions il was
first proposed to flood Australia with
the unemployed from Britain who
were to be dumped as immigrants.
But there was such hostility to immi-
grafton that the various governments
in Australia were forced to call off
or slacken down on the scheme.
The employers have now resorted
to the old policy Of closing factories
and throwing the workers out OF
their jobs. Behind this lies the hope
that after starvation does its work
the workers will submit to a decrease
Of the present wage level.

Puccini's score is brilliant with
dramatic melody. The arias fit ma
turally in the course of the dramatic
action; no ones death is put off to
the end Of a ford cavatina. Great
surges Of passionate tone we'll up
from orchestra and voices. In one
place only the opera falls down. That
is at the very end, where Tosca dis
covers that Mario is dead. Instead
of the supremely grand climax one
expects occurs only sort of con-
fused scrubbing Of tone.
Alice Gentle Impressive.
The singers of the San Carlo are
as fine as can be found in the Chi
cago opera, or any other company.
The most impressive performance
was that Of Alice Gentle. We are
used to hearing her in mezzo-so-
prano. Her acting, and the rich
warmth of her voice are superb. The
baritone of Mario Vale as Scarpia.
and the tenor of Gaetano Tommasini
as Cavaradossi were adequate and
beautiful.
AVN bHo Aooot PACooAhb p"Aeo Va ehN
performance were the excellence Of
the stagecraft and the orchestra. Cos
tunes, settings and lighting were
ideally and artistically handled. The
orchestra, tho small, produces the
tone quality and power Of a first
class symphonic organization.
Following the opera the Paw
ley and Oukrainsky ballet company,
which will be the ballet Of the Chi
cago opera next year, put on a num-
Der Of short dances, with the brill
lance and elegance characteristic OF
them. OulSrainsky did an Algerian
dance TO the accompaniment Of me-
chanical piano playing Greig's fami-
lar dance Of the trolls in the first
Peer Gynt suite. But with first
class orchestra available, a reproduc-
| ing piano is not the most effective
means Of playing music.
