NEW YORK SLUMS
 MAY G0 FOREVER
Officials Plan to Replace Filthy
 Quarters Soon

New York, Aug. 26 (UP)-De- molition of this city's slums and the transformation of the congested areas into model communities with the comforts of modern civilization today awaited popular approval at the polls.
 Mayor James J. Walkers housing bill has been passed by both branches of the municipal assembly and will be voted on at the Novem- Der general election unless real es- tate men opposing the project are able to prevent it by court action.
 August Heskscher. philanthfopist and capitalist. was one of the prin- cipal supporters of the bill.
 Heckscher envisioned an area of model dwellings. II stories tall. equipped with central heating, eleva- tors, hot and cold running water. central laundries and so built that sunshine and air would be available to the occupants.
 Street widening and the razing of tenements now comprising the slums would provide room for playgrounds.
 The bill passed by the municipal assembly would enable the city to condemn land and to lease it for private housing projects. Rents would be within the means of the present slum dwellers.
 A foretaste of what might result was evident in Allen street today. Visitors to New York know Allen street as the street of brass" Scores of shops sell articles of that metal there. New Workers know Allen street as the narrowest and unhealthiest in the city. the sky shut off except for yard on either side, by elevated railway tracks. Sunlight never reaches the street nor its people.
 On one side of Allen street today the buildings covering half of the block from Allen street away from the tracks have been razed. Win dows that never knew sunlight be- fore reflect brilliant rays. The neighborhood kids already have

 WONDERFUL SUCCESS
 BRILLIANT PLAYING
tAPPRECtATlVE AUDIENCE AMAZ- ED AT ARTISTRY OF YOUNG
 SEWARD GIRL

1 A packed theater, with many peo- pie standing, marked the appearance 1 in the Liberty theater last evening of Wilma Bszant, violinist. The rapt attention of the audience, including the children, was Q tribute to the young artists skill and complete mastery of the instrument If there was any who doubted the artists ability it was dispelled upon her first few strokes across the strings. Her violin throbbed and pulsated with ex- pression so intense at times that tears came to the eyes of many in the audience.
 If stage presence assists in bring ling success, Wilma Bazant will go far for her sweet, modest, natural poise, and warm smile, won the hearts of Iall.
 Bouquets of beautiful Alaskan flowers, large handsome boxes of candy, were but few of the testi- monials of affection Seward people presented her with last night.
 Curtis R. Morford, prior to the talented artists appearance, made a brief, appropriate talk, in which he described her devotion to her ideal and consistent energy in developing her talent for the violin. At the conclusion of his excellent remarks the audience burst forth with ap- |plause.
 The artists appearance was the signal for second loud, prolonged |salvo of applause and later, at the conclusion of the many difficult num- bers, she was likewise accorded un- ending applause to which she gra- ciously responded with encores.
 Mrs Groth, pianist, who accompa- nied the violinist, gave a perfect ren- dition proving herself a pianist of ex- ceptional ability.
 At the end of the program a brief reception was held, many citizens and former friends of the artist talk ing the opportunity to congratulate her on the excellency of her concert.
 Tomorrow, accompanied by her mother, she departs for Fairbanks where concert will be rendered. On the way South, an engagement will be filled at Anchorage, returnng to Seward in about two weeks. Af- ter further stay she will leave for New York and Europe.

Now where is labor going? This question when
labor IS viewed from the point of view of produc-
