The Rechl1n recital was different
than any have ever attended be-
cause his program was organ-music
of Bach and contemporaries.
Before the organist appeared. it
was announced that this would be
a different concert" because of the
spiritual message behind the COM
positions.
The request was made that there
be no applause because the organ.
list appreciated and understood the
presence of those at the recital. It
also was announced if we were not
too tired that after the program was
given, Rechlin would give an extra
number.
No one was "too tired" and this
great player of Bach gave an extra
number.
We do not have many organ re-
citals of this nature and Importance

citals keeps the spirit and atmos-
phere of the church.

of church organ music. The spir-
itual beauty of Bach as well as his
technical perfection was wonderfully
displayed by Rechlin in "Adagio E
Minor" Great G Minor Fugue"
and the Short Chorale- Prelude.
Here we're voices singing" so
great was the mastery of Rechlin
in projecting the theme of Bach.
Among the works of contemporary
composers of Bach were those of
BrunkhorSt, Ritter and Boehm.
The novelty of the program was
Rechlin's improvisation of "Beauti-
full Savior" Here we had the eff
feet of the chimes of the organ,
blended into a fabric of spiritual
wealth.
The organ never faltered under
the touch of Rechlin. He is a great
artist and one who knows how to
capture the spirit and the beauty
of Bach.

CHICAGO, Oct. "a. - At united

cago local, on October 20, to protest
the recent school strike in Gary, Ind.
representatives of the American Ne
gro Labor Congress, the National AS
sociation for the Advancement of
Colored People, the Chicago Urban
League, the Young Workers League
and the Council for the Protection of
Foreign-Born Workers. Two of the
three colored aldermen from Gary
were also present.
Russell, president of the Gary
branch of the N. A. A. C. P, stated
that the strike had been clearly plan
ned by adults who used the students
for their own ends.
The most vigorous applause of the
evening however, greeted the explain
alton given by the Young Workers
League representative, that the plan
ming of the strike was no accident,
but an example of the Steel Trusts
determination to divide the white and
Negro workers, in order that they
might not act together against the
capitalist class, their common enemy.
Plans were launched for a similar
united front meeting on much larger
scale, to be held in the near future.

Bitter Flight Over
Which Business Is
ToGain by Tax Cut

WASHINGTON, Oct. "a. - The tax
reduction fight in the SEVENTEEN con-
gress, which promises to be spectac-
ular and bittery contested, got under
way today with the assembly of the
joint congressional tax committee to
consider the various plans advanced.
There are three principal plans:
sponsored by President Cool
idge and Secretary of the Treasury
Mellon which would limit the total cut
to $250,000,000. Coolidge is now an
advocate of bigger and better cruis-
ers.
2.-Sponsored by Senator Reed
Smoot (6) of Utah, chairman of the
senate finance committee, which
would hold the reduction to S350,000,-
900.
3.-Backed by Rep. Garner, (D0,
which would push the reduction up to
$400,000,000 or $500,000,000.
No One Believes Treasury.
Rep. Garner declared Congress will
not follow the treasury's recommen-
dations in tax slashing, Because
every business man in the country
knows the treasury has been lament
ably inaccurate in estimating treasury
SURPRISES, and no one has faith in
treasury figures any more"
All the conflicting plans contem-
plate decreasing the corporation tax,
repeal of the nuisance taxes, includ-
ing automobile taxes, and cutting the
intermediate brackets in the income
taxes. No plan whatever is consid-
cred which will reduce the burden on
the poor. No reductions of tariff are
seriously contemplated.

Radio Monopoly for
Biggest Campaign
Fund in Elections

WASHINGTON, Oct. "a. - The
political party with the biggest "war
chest" probably will monopolize the
air during the 1928 presidential cam
paign, regardless of a provision in the
federal radio law which ostensibly was
aimed to insure equal broadcasting
privileges for all candidates.
This Is the "Joker."
If any station permits the use of its
broadcasting facilities for candi-
date it "shall afford equal oppor-
tunities to all other candidates for
that office" section 10 reads.
Buy All You Want.
However, there is nothing in the
law to prevent the Republican or the
Democratic national committees, or
other organizations, from buying all
the radio facilities they want or can
afford, for the broadcasting of politi-
cal propaganda on behalf of any can
didate.
Also an individual who is not up
for office may present the views of
candidates or arguments in their be-
half, and the broadcasting station
from which the information is trans
mitted is apparently under no obliga-
ton to give the adherents of opposing
candidates the right to use its facili-
ties, in the opinion of legal experts.
Radio Big Factor.
Radio c+afiops will ba ,,eaJ ~; Jol,x
in the 1928 campaign. Experts pre-
dicted that several million dollars
would be spent by the political parties
and the candidates. Broadcasting was
employed in the 1924 campaign, but
that was before the days when chain
hook-ups were commonly used to put
an audience of three quarters of the
nation within the hearing of one
voice.

Jewish Colonies
In Soviet Union
Lauded by Expert

CHICAGO, Oct. 24.-The Jewish
colonies in the Soviet Union, estab-
lished with the aid of the Soviet Gov
eminent, were lauded as highly sue
cessful in a report submitted by DR..
Joseph A. Rosen to the relief confer
ence of the United Jewish Campaign.
The number of Jewish families in
Russia engaged in farming, DR.. Rosen
said, increased from $4,000 in 1923 to
$4,000 in 1927. The acreage occupied
by Jewish settlers, he said, has risen
from 100000 to 100000 acres.
Starting a New Life.
"But of far greater Importance than
these figures are the personal inn
pressions carried away by visitors
to the colonies" he declared.
"Those who have inspected the
colonies during the three years and
have seen with their own eyes
how the new settlements sprang up
in the wild prairies with thousands
of families actually starting new
life, striking roots in the soil and
turning the wilderness into promising
farming communities, cannot help ex-
pressing their admiration and calling
the whole thing miracle"

US. Supreme Court
Decision Doubling
Utilities ExtOrtiOTl

WASHINGTON, Oct. "a. - The
supreme courts action in establish
ing the reproduction cost new" the
DRY of valuing public utilities for rate
making purposes will saddle a bur-
den of billions of dollars upon the
American public if maintained in fu-
ture valuation cases, Senator George
w. Norris of Neb., said today.
The reproduction cost new" theory
is to allow a public utility high enough
rates to guarantee a specific income
upon fictitious property value, es-
timated to be the cost of producing
the utility brand new. Such valua-
ton, he explained, if placed upon
American railroads, would enable
them to double their present freight
and passenger rates from one end of
the country to the other.
Anxious To Stop Resolution.
Norris proposed legislation to for
bid use of the theory in fixing rates.
despite the supreme courts decision
in the Indianapolis waterworks case.
He admitted though that such legisla-
tion might be held unconstitutional.
THE only remedy then will be for
the national and local governments to
own and operate railroads, water
works, gas companies, electric light
plants and street car companies" Nor

ment ownership or it will provoke a

INVESTIGATION
OF PULLMAN CO,
TO START SOON
Porters' Union Charges
Violations of Law

The Brotherhood of Sleeping Car
Porters announced recently the re-
ceipt of a communication from the
Interstate Commerce Commission no
tifying the union and the Pullman
Company that Friday, October 21st,
has been set as the date when briefs
should be filed in the case of the
Brotherhood VS.. the Pullman Com
pany.
In petition filed with the com
mission on September 9Th, the Broth
erhood of Sleeping Car Porters
charged the Pullman Company with
violating Sections 1, 2, 8, and Is
of the Interstate Commerce Act, and
called upon the commission to inves-
tigate the conduct of the company
with a view toward compelling it to
cease and desist from it's alleged I'M
lawful practices.
Investigate Violations.
On September 18th, the commits
sion notified the Pullman Company
that it had twenty days in which to
rectify the conditions or answer the
charges of the Brotherhood.
Accordingly, on Oct. 7th, the COM
pany filed its reply in which the jur-
isdiction of the commission to hear
the petition was denied by the attor-
neys for the Pullman Company; con-
sequently the question now before the
commission is it's right to hear the
evidence and correct the violations, if
found to be as stated by the Brother
hood, whose attorneys are of the
opinion that the commission is en-
powered to act under Section 10 spe-
officially and the entire Interstate
Commerce Act.
The Brotherhood's brief is being
prepared by Donald Richberg, attor-
ney for the standard railroad unions
and co-author of the Watson-Parker
Law, and by Henry T. Hunt, ex-
mayor of Cincinnati and former mem
Der of the old United States Railroad
Labor Board.
New Case.
1t was pointed out by officials of
the Brotherhood that the case before
the Interstate Commerce Commission
is separate and distinct from the
unions efforts to present their case
before the Emergency Arbitration
Board, which they are compelled to
do by the Watson-Parker Act if they
are to maintain their position as a
union.

Bankers Convention
Admits DGpOsitOrS
Lose, Hits Rivals

HOUSTON, Texas, Oct. "a. While
cursing "gold brick" statesmen, their
rivals, the delegates to the American
Bankers Association, holding its 53rd
annual convention here, had to admit
that from a half to three quarters of
a billion dollars will be lost to deposit
ors in banks during the last seven
years.
Dan V. Stephens, president of the
Fremont State Bank, Fremont, Neb.,
told the delegates that throughout
the United States since deflation be-
gan seven years ago there have been
more than 1000 bank failures, which
have tied up more than one billion dol
lars in deposits, so to rs per cent of
which, he said, will be total loss to
depositors.
Regular Business.
"Gold brick financing" takes from
the American public in excess of one
billion dollars a year, Harry W. Riehl
declared in his address today.
Stock crooks utilize a highly or
ganized system to mulct the public of
such a huge sum annually, he said,
pointing out that they even go to
school, that they swap Sucker lists"
and that they learn the rudiments of
gold brick financing through study
and application of various types of
fraud. They are psychologists, too.
He's a Sweet MoOch,"
"There is a regular business of
gathering these sucker lists" Riehl
continued. "The names are bought
and sold like cattle. Notations are
made of the mental attitude, the tenn
peraments, and other peculiarities of
the possible victims. l have here
some actual sucker list cards. One
reads: Hit this chap for a thousand
shares-he owns a Packard An
other says Soak this bird for thous-
and shares - he's a sweet mooch.'
Another says, Handle this guy with
kid gloves - he's been burnt before. :"
