ACTION IS DELAYED
ON PRINCETON PLAN
Amendment to Report on
Seminary Is Voted by
PreSbyterianS.

TULSA, Okla, May 26.--Action of the
General Assembly of the Presbyterian
Church in the United States of America
on a committee report proposing a sim
gle board of administration for the
Princeton Theological Seminary, Prince
ton. N. j., was deferred here today until
Monday, by adoption of an amendment
to the report, requiring the committee
to submit the names of nominees at
that time.
Adoption of the amendment. which
was moved by DR.. William c. Thomp-
son, chairman of the committee, was
the only outstanding action OF the as
semoly in brief session filled with de-
bate on the Princeton issue. The vote
was 535 to $50.
Responsible to assembly.
The plan Of the committee of IL
would substitute a board of 33 MEM
bers, comprising l8 ministers and Is
elders, for the board of trustees and the
board of directors which now govern
the institution, making the new board
directly responsible to the General As
sembly.
DIR. Thompson's amendment was de-
signed to meet the objections of some OF
the opponents of the proposed plan, who
have expressed unwillingnesS to leave
the appointment of the members of the
new board in the hands of the commit
tee of II.
The committee was instructed, under
the resolution as originally proposed, TO
include in its nominations DR.. Francis
DO
church, and DR.. Ethelbert D. Warfleld,
president of Wilson College. Chambers
burg. Pa.
Dr. Warfield, as a member of the
committee, filled minority report, OPP
posing the committees plan. He object
ed to inclusion of his name and 1t was
eliminated from the resolution which
was adopted.
Prohibition Issue.
Meanwhile, preparations were made
to bring the assembly to the considera-
ton of another iSSue-prohibitlon
DR.. j. NJ. Claudy, head of the moral
welfare department of the Presbyterian
Board of Christian Education, has pre-
pared resolutions for submission to an
ur Ificial meeting of the delegates OF
re General Assembly tomorrow asking
that support be withheld from any
nominee for President of the United
States whose record and announced
attitude are not favorable TO prohibi-
ton.
DR.. Claudy expects the resolution to
be submitted TO the assembly Monday
for official action. The resolution asks
not only that a presidential nominee
shall be dry in his present policies, but
that his record be searched TO ascer-
toin whether he consistently has been
favorable to prohibition.

Opera Potentate Threatens to Seek Alb
solute Silence When He Retires-Wastes
Little Attention on Temperament.

he remarked. "I've every difficulty in
the world except those Of an opera
singer. Praise be, I've been spared
thoSe!"
And trouble, 1t was learned. fills a
great part of his day. Scanning the
box office reports, attention to the
smallest expense details, new contracts,
broadening of repertoire and the never
ending combats with operate tempera-
ment.
Temperament he has combatted since
early youth First when at % he
turned his back on a naval engi-
neering career to follow his father as
director of the poverty stricken Theatre
Comunale at Ferrara, Italy; then at
La Scala in Milan and finally at the
Metropolitan.
No one has ever bearded this lion
in his den. Few try-a newcomer,
perhaps, or an old-timer who for the
moment has forgotten.
Not that just complaints fail TO re-
ceive proper consideration. Employees
in rational moods testify he is eminent
" lust. But those who work for him
know there is little tolerance for whims
and fancies, and they say he can grow
g. .gry upon occasion with sudden start
ling results.
Star System Abolished.
Twenty years of his management at
the Metropolitan have attested the
worth of his policies and wrought great
changes In the organization. New
operas have been introduced, the star
system has been abolished and finances
placed on a sound basis.
When Gatti-CasaZza came to the
Metropolitan he expressed himself, "the
theater is created for an audience-not
vacuum"
ITO keep it full" he says, II con-
slider the desires of the public. In
order to know what they are, read the
box Office reports. and keep my balance
by never reading the newspapers.
THE hardest thing in the world to
do is to please the newspapers. / don't
try.
His day begins early. Nine o'clock
and he is out for a brisk turn about the
park TALL imposing figure, whose air
of dignity never deserts him, He dresses
always in impeccable taste, wearing his
black fedora at a daShing angle. and
invariably carrying long walking stick.
Evening star., 1928-05-27

By 1880 he is at his desk, where he
remains until dinner time, with only a
brief respite for lunch that is gener-
ally carried to him. Immediately after
his dinner at home he returns to the
Metropolitan Office, and there he re-
mains until the final curtain falls upon
the opera of the evening. He is rarely
visible, he almost never appears before
the curtain and he has no time for
glory.
AbhOrs Social Whirl.
Signor Gatti-Casazza abhors social
functions. He spends no time on teas
or bridge or dancing. Opera is the
only thing in the world to him that
matters.
1t is after the performances he has
his fun. A group of critics, artists and
associates gather in his Office and the
tongues fly over q discussion of every
subject under the sun Questions of
history, philosophy and religion come
up for discussion and the impresario
propounds their merits in italian or
French. English has no charms for
him.
On no subject is he more at home
than that of Napoleon He is said to
have read almost everything that has
been written on the little corporal
The discussions continue endlessly,
far into the morning. I'VE wonder, "

CHEAP CURRENT

The following article from Toronto.
Ontario, taken from the A. F. of l..
News Letter and reproduced here, rel
ative to the cost of electric current to
consumers in Ontario province, the
Press believes, will prove of more
than passing interest to all Hamilton
users of current.
"Ontario's publicly-owned power
system sells current for domestic SER
vice for less than 2 cents per kilowatt
hours, while the charge of privately
owned systems in the United States
average 1-2 cents for the same SER
vice, according to report by the On
tario Hydro-Electric Commission,
known throughout this province as
Hydro.
The report states that 252 munich
palities in Ontario buy current from
Hydro and retail it to citizens.

MAY ACTUALLY TALK

Employers who have set up COM
pany unions" profess "liberality''
because they permit employees to dis
cuss working conditions.
The International Harvester Com
pany's international Council is pointed
to as a model" company union.
Article XI, Section / of the Constitu-
tion provides:
"The Workers Council may consider
and make recommendations on all
questions relating to working condi.
tions, protection of health, safety
wages, hours of labor, recreation, ed.
ucation and other similar matters OF
mutual interest to the employees and
the management. 1t shall afford full
opportunity for the presentation and
discussion of these matters.
-. When the policy of the company
as to any of these matters has been
settled, its execution shall remain with
the management, but the manner OF
that execution may at any time be 8
subject for the consideration of the
Workers Council"
Or, in other words, the harvester
trust allows employees to actually
talk. They may even discuss the
manner of execution" but the cor.
poration has the last word.
In the harverter trusts lexicon
there is no such word as "arbitration.
The rule is: "Let the workers be

1T DID MUCH GOOD

One big definite good has resulted
from the federal trade commissions
investigation of public utility propa-
ganda-it has aroused the organized
teachers of the nation and they have
declared war on the utility and power
propagandists.
1t may be true that the public as
a whole has shown only languid in
terest in the utilities inquiry. Part
of this lack of interest is undoubt-
edly due to newspaper playing down"
of the investigation and it's startling
revelations of utility propaganda in
schools, colleges, churches, news
papers, civic organizations and many
other institutions. But the teachers,
Judging by the action of the American
Federation of Teachers and the Ma
tional Education Association, are
thoroughly aroused.

TWO DRAMATIC STRIKES

Two strikes of the day are dramatic
and filled with spirit and that zeal
that brings victories, even in SEEM
ing defeats. They are fit companions
of the heroic coal strike. In Racine,
Wis, the Allen-A Hosiery mills are
finding it impossible to crush striking
employees. Injunctions and militia
fail to defeat these courageous men
and women. In New Bedford, there is
the strange, but pleasing, spectacle of
strikers, soldiers and police, all smil-
ing together-a whole populace united
against textile mill injustice. In both
