Ibsen's 'Olav Liljekrans'
To Be Set To Music

one of Ibsen's wishes is at last to
come true, seventy-five years after
it was expressed. In 1852 Ibsen
wrote drama, "Olav Liljekrans,"
which is now forgotten, but of which
at that time he thought highly. He
wanted to have it transformed into
an opera, and approached contem-
porary composer, inviting him to CO.
operate. The composer declined, and
Ibsen turned to other plans. But so
strong was his desire to see "Olav
Liljekrans" on the opera stage that
the whole first act is written as an
opera libretto. The story is taken
from the period of the Plague, when
only one or two persons survived in
the desolate Norwegian valleys. The
hero himself is sort of anticipation
of Peer Gynt.
A young Norwegian composer,
Arne Eggen, has now obtained the
consent of Ibsen's son and of the pub
Usher to set the play to music, and
expects to have it finished this
autumn.

mas, Georgia and Alabama in one Of
The biggest industrial migrations ever
seen?
Southern Slaves.
Cheap dastcd labor" suggests
David Clark o2a .Ae Southern Textile
Bulletin, champion union-baiter Of
the south.
Clark is right, according to studies
made by economists at the University
Of North Carolina. George Newly Jr.,
whose study of comparative costs OF
northern and southern cotton textile
production is probably the most au-
thori5ative yet made. It's the cheap
labor.
Vast reserves Of poor white"
southern tenant farmers and mill
hands are on the auction block today,
being hammered down to northern
capitalists for 20 and 80 cents an
hour. The auctioneers are the power
companies, the chambers of COM
merce, the state industrial boards,
crying out in stentorian voices the
quotations on southern labor and in
yiting employers in every part of the
world to take advantage of chesp
human flesh.
SO TO SIS a Week Wages.
So large is the untapped labor re-
serve still on the farms-Duke Power
estimates only one-fourth of the
available labor has been "harnessed"
that Newly estimates the south
can add s to 10 million more spindles
without eXhausting the supply of pos
sible workers. Low wages, ranging
between So. and SIS a week, long
working days Of 10 to IL hours, plenty
Of child labor from II up, the absence
Of unions, favor the south.
On the other hand New England
employers have the advantage of not
being obliged to maintain expensive
welfare work, and in having a more
efficient labor force. The fact that

must tie up a fourth to a third OF
his total investment in shacks for his
workers.
The labor supply in both north and
south is fully ample to meet all de-
mands, as unemployment SO elo-
quently testifies, Newly finds. But
on the whole, the south has an over
whclming advantage in labor costs.
And it IS this advantage which has
resulted in North Carolina displacing
Massachusetts, as the premier cotton
textile state in the past three years.
Other Factors.
Other factors in comparative costs
are:
l. Power-The south has COM
paratively small advantage in the
Carolina Piedmont where hydroelec-
trio power plus cheap coal from West
Virginia bring rates about 10 pei
cent lower than Fall River mills must
pay.
2. Transportation-The south is
nearer the raw material, but the north
is nearer the market. On the whole
the advantage is with the south on
coarse goods, but in finer goods New
England products can readily COM
pete so far as transportation costs are
concerned
8. Taxes-The south has lower
taxes, but in the Carolinas they are
rising steadily.
Unions Coming.
New England mill owners have de-
cided advantages in lower capital
costs, in an early start in the in
dustry, in smaller fixed investment
and in keener marketing methods. In
fact Clark of the Southern Textile
Bulletin, Stuart Cramer of the noted
Cramerton, N. c., mills, and others
will admit under pressure that New
England textiles are by no means
dead or dying, but instead face a
future of diminishing yet large i'm
portance in the industry.
Southern mills, in Newby's opinion,
can expect Is to 20 years of steady
growth, but their differential in costs
over the north will gradually diminish
as the labor supply pecc-1s ex-
hausred. Unions will come, he says,
patcrnalism will disappear.

COlOred People,
NEGRO Workers, Bewar ne
~ newspapers report that ju The
strike of miners in the Pittsburgh,
Pa, coal district, Negroes are beng
used by the mine owners as ,"strike
breakers" Any setting of Negro la
Dor against white labor is very I'M
fortunate for labor,-and will in the
end be disastrous to Negro laborers.
IN such a situation the employers
and owners only use the Negro as a
tool a weapon to beat back ali labor !;
and as soon as the bosses win the
victory, they never fail to do one of
two evil things: either to drop the
Negro and re-employ the beaten white
labor, or to push the Negro down a
bit under the position into which the
Negro has helped them to push the
white labor. There is no such thing
as Negro labor being placed or kept
in better position than the white
labor in these United States. The
most that the Negro can expect is to
be put on the same level with the
whites, and that seldom happens
almost never happens where white
and black labor is employed together
on the same job.
If that be true (and there is no
honest and knowing mind in America
that will say it is not true), then
Negro "strike-breakers" are always
accomplishing only one of two pos
sible things; a. Either helping to
make for themselves a lower place
than the low place they are being
used to make for the whites, or o.
Helping to make a lower place for
both themselves and the white work
ers. No, there is third alternative:
sometimes the Negro Strike
breaker is making no place for him
self. The bosses may kick him out.
after using him to down the whites.
There is just one excuse for the
Negro Strike BREAKER" and that is
when the union Of white workers
discriminates against his color, and
does not admit him to equal member
ship. Even then the situation is very
unfortunate for the Negro. But to
fight discriminating, Ncgro-barring
union is perhaps sometimosD the les
ser Of two evils for the Negro work
ers, and may serve to teach the union
q useful lesson. Only with this
definite and clear-cut object in Wow
should the Negro ever persuade him
self 10 become q "sty,ze-5raaltr
Then, Of course. he may be acting uD-
on a sad necessity, but in the ultimate
interest of labor aiming to teach
white labor lesson so rs to unite
all labor.
But we understand and have lonr
been informed that no such barring of
Negro membership is practiced hv
the miners union. If that be tr-ra
it is brainless and calamitous for
Negro men to be used as "striae-
breakers" against the unions.
Such folly would ultimately place
Negro labor between two powerful
grinding millstoncs that would re-
duce it to powder: a great hostile and
majority of white laborers
on the one side of him, and grtaJ-
