WAGE SLASH|NC
Michigan Senator Demands
Big Business Make
Clear Its Stand.
ByUnited Press

BIZ United Press
WASHINGTON, April 27.-sena-
tor James Couzens (Rep., Mich
has acted to bring the question OF
wage reductions out into the open
and has laid it right on the door
step Of big business. In an open
letter Sunday the senator, himself
a business veteran, challenged the
United States Chamber of Com
merce, meeting this week in Allan
tic City, to go on record on this
issue.
The challenge was based on a re-
cent statement Of Julius Barnes,
chairman Of the board of the cham
Der. 1t said:
"Mr. Barnes, in a recent state
ment, stated there normally were
about 100000 persons employed
receiving wages Of approximately
S5O,OOO,000 daily; that there were
100000 out Of work, with the 40
100000 still employed receiving
about $46,000,000, and therefore sug-
gests that this $4O,000,000 be spread
over the entire number Of $4,000 900
usually employed"
Would Retard Recovery
"In other words, there is to be
taken from these employed approx
mately 100000 daily to be dis
trlbuted in wages for employment
OF those now unemployed" Couzens
said. Does this not place the en-
tire burden Of unemployment on
the wage earners, and relieve CAPT.
tai OF any expense in taking care of
the 100000 unemployed"
Such a policy, said Couzens, would
retard, not advance, economic re-
covery, by causing "a reimbursement
OF the distribution of the earnings
OF capital and labor"
will the chamber at its conven-
tion," he asked, please go on record
whether it believes in a reduction
OF wages or a possible increase or at
least maintenance Of existing wage
scales?"
Get Down to Essentials
He commended that wages even now
are below their proper level in rela-
ton to the productivity of the aver
age worker.
Recently Couzens called upon the
chamber to get down to economic
essentials in its meeting, whereupon
President Butterworth of the cham
Der indirectly invited him to attend
"and help u.s." Couzens said at that
time, "Tell him 7 accept"
The acceptance was premature,
however, as no definite invitation
ever was issued. Sundays statement
was in the form of an open letter
to ButterWorth.

CHICAGO, April 27.-It was
not the depression, but a dilap-

assets.
Moorish withdrew 500 from
his bank to pay taxes, took it
to his rooming house, and hid
it in the icebox.
A few days later he went for

Etchings Of the dance by Mrs. Simmons are
the result Of collaboration with herself, so to
speak, for she has danced the movements de-
picted in her etchings. These are interpreta-
tions of ancient dances, reconstructed from
such fragmentary sources as a figure on
papyrus textile, vase or bas-relief, or from
a fresco on the crumbling wall of some ancient
tomb or temple. Mrs. Simmons first re-
searches in this field were done under the
guidance of the late Albert Gayet, noted
French archeologist who made transfer
sketches from the afore- mentioned sources of
dancing figures, usually but a single pose,
sometimes two or more movements of the same
dance. For Mrs Simmons dances based upon
these sketches special music was composed,
using old Egyptian folk songs as motifs, by
Paul Vidal of the Paris Opera. Mrs Simmons
has appeared as lecturer and dancer before
audiences in the Louvre and Guimet Museums,
Paris, and in museums of other European
cities, as well as the Museum of Fine Arts Bos-
ton; the Brooklyn Institute and elsewhere in
the United States
She studied etching under James McNeiu
Whistler and her husband, Will Simmons 1.-The
Dance of Semele" (Byzantine), Isis" (Egyp-
tian), and "Pierrot Fantasia" are among the
many delightful portrayals of dances in her
group of 81 prints.
a STRONG impression of nationalism first
strikes the visitor to the exhibition Of
mexican arVs, opened last Tuesday afternoon
at the Corcoran Gallery of Art with private
view. This nationalism in art is what foreign
critics are constantly searching for in ex-
hibitions of United States American art, for
instance, and claiming not to find. There
should be no wonder at this, for we are not
yet homogeneous race. But the Mexicans un-
deniably have this characteristic, for despite
the diversity of the objects shown, the eS-
sence of Mexico is there, like thread through
string of beads. This is remarkable, since the
exhibition endeavors to cover so wide field
that the objects included can be but samples
or suggestions of the nature of their classes.

This exhibition is part of the Roerich

works included in the collection were chosen by
the artists themselves as being representative
of every phase of contemporary Brazilian art
and as giving true picture of the national life.
The exhibition is divided between the artists
of the two chief cities of Brazil. Those cs the
capital Rio de Janeiro are largely conservative

Folks Behind
The MicrophOne
BY THE RADIO EDITOR.

T HAROLD SANFORD. known TO
radio listeners as conductor
of the National Light Opera
i i Co, which presents adapted
versions of famous operettas,
was for 10 years associated with Victor
Herbert. Irish-American composer, as
concert master
Sanford directs radio minstrel shows
and other concert programs, but his
favorite work is the conducting Of
weekly series of Victor Herbert per-
formances.
Sanford was born In Northampton,
Mass. His father followed the profess
sion of engineering and wanted the
son to do $50. However, young Harold
showed a penchant for music and
when only Z began studying the violin.
At the age of IL he attended music
school and from then on played in pro-
fessional orchestras for college dances
and concerts
For nearly nine years the young mu-
stefan studied and played in Boston
and then in 1908 he moved to New
York with Henry Savage, who was then
producing De Koven's THE Student
King"
Later he was presented to Victor
