World Market in 1881.

III ScripDs-H ot1Grd Newspaper Alliance

culture.
Foreign retaliation against the
Hawley- Smoot tariff law already
has driven American importers out
of business in eight countries, the
prevailing import duties amounting
in each case to practical embargo
Continued heavy losses during
1881 as a direct result of this closing
Of export markets is regarded by the
departments experts as the con-
trolling factor in the present out
look.

FELT BY MUSICIANS
GabriIowitsch Says Artists
Afraid to Risk Visits
in Italy.

NEW YORK, July l6 (NAN.AO.-
Ossip Gabrilowitsch, director of the De-
troit Symphony Orchestra. and Son-in-
law of the late Mark Twain, came into
port on the Bremen yesterday with the
announcement that unless Mussolini took
steps to protect visiting musical artists
a temperamental strike would be called.
The noted musical artist spoke firmly
about the future of music in Italy, and
told an intimate story of the beating
received by Arturo Toscanini, conductor
of the New York Philharmonic Or
chestra, when he refused to play the
Fascist hymn at a concert in Bologna,
italy, on March II.
"I read about the incident in the
newspapers of Zurich, Switzerland"
said Mr. GabrilowitSch, land my wife
and I had a conference. She agreed
with me that we should repair i'm
mediately to Milan and see what we
could do for the old gentleman, even
if we went to Jail for it.
Found Maestro Prisoner.
we knew that he took his art very
~erious'y, and could not conceive that
he had been embroiled in a political
dispute.
when we reached his villa in Italy,
we found it strongly guarded by Fascist
patrols, and only eventually was the
maeStro's passport returned to him. He
,, was practically under arrest, and he
had plenty to say about the Italian gov
eminent. He had not been slapped, as
the newspapers reported. but he had
, been badly mauled by 80 or 40 Fascists.

conduct two concerts in the memory

Refuses Italian Offer.
I'VE went to Berlin" Mr.. Gabrilo-
witsch proceeded, and there 1 found
that Serge Koussevissky, director Of The
Boston Symphony Orchestra. had been
contracted to go to Italy. He told me
that he fatty refused after the Tosca-
mini affair. The leading booking bureau

should band together as protest.

hey agreed with me. 1 shall never GO

age is a matter Of official apology"
Mr.. Gabrilowitsch asserted that the
depression had not caused the slightest
Slackening in musical efforts, because
as he pointed out, artists sometimes
must Starve" On the contrary, he said
great genius has sprung up in the last
few years. ...
