 AT CHURCH ACTION
Formal Denunciation Expected
 at Today'S Meeting

Detroit. Oct. P-Consideration of a recommendation to answer fin a very emphatic fashion" the action of Detroit churchmen in withdraw ing speaking invitations to labor leaders was the special order of bus mess today in the American Federa- ton of Labor convention.
 Failure of overnight attempts to calm the rising tempest of resent ment in convention circles left the discussion at the top of the conven- tion's calendar of unfinished business and side tracked routine matters or possible continuation Of yester- days three hour denunciation of the groups which had closed the city's pulpits to spokesmen of organized labor.
 Possibility of an amicable adjust ment of a situation defined by Will liam Green, president Of the federal tion as extremely regrettable" was seen by some delegates in the record of yesterdays afternoon sessions in which the statement of labor dele gates that the action of the Detroit churches and Y. M. C. A. did not | reflect the attitude of the Christian church throughout the country" was heard also in the address of the Rev, James Myers. industrial secre- tary Of the Federal Council of Churches of Christ in America. The Rev. Mr. Myers received unanimous consent to address the convention just before adjournment last night.
 l A few hours after the fiery ses- sion, President Green declined the 1 invitation of the Federal Council of Churches to speak Sunday afternoon at mass meeting in the First Con- gregational church on the ideals of labor and the church"
 1 Mir. Green gave no reason for his declination which was announced after formal notification by C. M.
 Van Dusen, president of the board
 of control of the Detroit Y. NJ. C.
 A., that the board had voted Mon- day to withdraw the invitation ex- tended to the labor chieftain in July to address a progressive mems rally i in the Y. M. C. A. auditorium next Sunday.

 the convention, "the board of con
 trol were of the opinion that their
 building program could be better
 advanced through the cancellation
 of the invitation"

q matter of prcking the pack

How much fun you get out of pipe depends largely on one thing: the to. bacco. The pipe itself is the accessory, after all. The tobacco's the thing. That's why the most contented bunch of smokers in the world smoke Prince Albert exclusively.
 The instant you open tidy red tin of P. A., you know this tobacco is unlike any other. That warm, rich fragrance! Only real tobacco could give of such an appetizing aroma. You are conr- pletely won to P. A. when you smoke that first load.
New Britain herald., 1926-10-07

Cool as a cove, sheltered from the beat of the sun. Sweet as breath of clover. Fragrant as fresh.cut flowers fragrant and mild. Yet with a body that satisfies your smoke-taste right down to the ground. A rare com- bination, Men.
 It is a pretty safe guess that, if you smoke one tin of Prince Albert-a1l of it-you will continue to smoke Prince Albert from then on. That has been the experience of other pipe-smokers. It's worth finding out about. Buy some P. A. today.

MADRID, Oct. S.-There Is no
art in jazz. believes Joaquin Turina,
one of sprain's best modern COM
posers.
Most jazz bands" he has de-
clared, ARE nothing but a congrega-
ton Of shrinking musical instruments
and absurd things like whistles, bells,
horns, etc. Jazz music is kind of
bazar with screechy cofors outside.
1.-THE fundamental error Of nearly
all jazz bands is that each musician
let's his widest inspiration loose,
stops when he pleases, changes
rhythm when he likes, and even
goes off his own way without notice
of what the rest of the orchestra are
ding. All this cannot be accepted as
music, simply because it has an in
fiuence on a certain public.
Nearly all jazz bands mean dis
order and balance. two violins fire.
quently fight desperately not only
against saxophones and claHnets,
but trumpets, trombones and what
not! Saxophones, for instance, are
all right as harmonic background in
bands. They are very useful to
sweeter sharp sonorities Of brass in
struments. but the saxophone solo at
the head of an orchestra is one Of
those inexplicable alterations which
go as part of the atmosphere in
cabarets and fashionable dancing
places.
1.-THE jazz band can be useful, but
it should be disciplined. and the
composers of jazz music should take
the trouble of writing in full all
parts as they should be played. Bet
ter effects will be reached, and in
stead OF intolerable monotonous
banging and hammering, jazz const-
tute colorful and attractive music"
