WASHINGTON, Sept. 15.-TeX-
tile strike leaders demanded this
afternoon that General Hugh S.
johnson resign as national recovery
administrator because of his speech
in New York last night in which he
accused the textile union of bad
faith in calling the walkout.
Francis j. German, special strike
committee chairman, acting as
spokesman for the United Textile
Workers, voiced the resignation de-
mand and accused General johnson
of not telling the truth, of bad
faith and of idleness, while "the
textile workers we're being slowly
Strangled to death"
Mr.. johnson said that the walk
out was an absolute violation" of
an agreement with the government.
The union leader charged that
Mr.. Johnson has ''the employer
mind" and that he thinks in terms
of troops and robots.
Mr.. German said that on June 2
an agreement was reached be-
tween General Johnson. the Cotton
Textile institute and the union, but
that its first clause read, This
agreement does not prejudice the
right to strike"
Mr.. German said there were to
be reports on hours, wages, differ
entails and the stretchout, but that
the wage report was two weeks late,
and held that there could be no
increases. The differential report
has not yet been made, he said
while the stretchout report still is
pending.

RAINBOW LEADS
BRITISH SL0OP
Retains Advantage Gained

TWo-Hour Period.

ABOARD S. S. ARGO CVia Mackey
RADIO, Sept. 15.-Endeavour and
Rainbow were under weigh at 10:40
a. m. today (8:40 a. m. Indianapolis
time) in their first race for the
Americas cup. Rainbow was across
the line nearly minute ahead.
Rainbow, Harold S. Vanderbilt'S
slOOp, had better way on at the pre-
paratOry signal and was out atsthe
buoy while Endeavour, the British
challenger. was close under the stern
of the committees boat.
Rainbow carried mainsail and
Genoa jib and staysail. About two
minutes before the start Endeavour
shifted from double head rig to a
large Genoa, losing much of her
way. Vanderbilt took Rainbow on
the port tack but was forced to
pinch Endeavour to clear the COM
mittee boat.
A few minutes after the start
Vanderbilt brought Rainbow about
on starboard tack to keep his OPP
ponent covered.
Half an hour after the start En-
deavour had improved her position
to such an extent that it appeared
she might be able to cross Rain
bows.
At 11:3 $3.50 Indianapolis the
yachts were well over toward Guilty.
hunk Island with it still a question
whether EndeavOur could cross Rain
bows bow.
Rain had begun to fall and the
wind freShened slightly. Rainbow
came about on the port tack at
1892 and Endeavour almost i'm
mediately followed suit. The
maneuver furnished no proof which
yacht was ahead.
At Has Rainbow appeared to
have recovered the lead. Both
yachts were standing in close to
Cuttyhunk Island on the starboard
tack at 1890 d0:30 Indianapolis
time). Rainbow was improving her
lead over Endeavour in addition to
being comfortably ahead.

One can guess where this talk and
others like it comes from.
The facts are that if alrthe world
will just hold its temper and finally
know the fact about this war trade,
nations will become very angry and
will want to fight. But they will see
clearly that their fight is not with
other nations but with their own
merchants and agents who are bent
upon prof1ting even though their
profits be dependent upon their abil-
ity to arm, friend against friend and

TWO ARTISTS
GIVE FIRST
OF RECITALS
Anne Hull, Mary Ho,Ue,
Pianists, Presented by
Art Forum.
BY ALICE EVERSMAN.

Anne Hull and Mary Howe. in a
recital of music for two pianos, were
the first artists to be presented this
year by the International Art Forum.
The concert. which had been arranged
by Marjorie Lowe, chairman of music
of the forum, was given at the WASH
ington Club and drew particularly
appreciative audience. The program
was varied and not too heavy in char
acter, finishing with a dance group
which contained two Spanish num-
bers by Mrs. Howe.
An addition to this particular
musical literature was the very fine
transcription of Bach's "Dein Ge-
burtstag," which Mrs. Howe has made,
and other novelties were the rarely
heard La Mutt dAmour" and Les
Larmes," by Rachmaninoff, and the
arrangement for two pianos of De-
bussy's prelude rApres-Midi dun
Faun" and his "Cortege"
The two artists have worked out
an excellent ensemble with tonal
color which is so similar as to give
the impression of one instrument.
There is brilliancy in their playing
in technical passages that is clear
and sparkling and remarkably ex-
pressive in such numbers as Saint
Saen's "Etude." Debussy's Air de
Ballet" Arensky's 'Valse" and Mary
Howe's "Peternera" and "Jota." How
ever, with a program which contained
compositions of divergent and highly
national color, the artists were not
so successful in keeping that differ
ence in mind and one was conscious
of a sameness of approach in their
interpretations. A marked sense Of
rhythm was the outstanding element
in their reading. which, while neces-
sary in the dance group and such
other numbers as Gliere's Chant
Populaire, gave also clear-cut out
line Of Schumann's "Andante and
Variations" and the Bach number.
Miss Hull and Mrs. Howe play with
poetic insight and with an aptitude
for atmosphere, particularly in Rach-
maninoff's La Mutt d'Amour," which
made it one of the loveliest numbers
on the program and one which the
audience tried vainly to have repeated
At the end of the program another
of Mrs. Howe's Spanish dances was
given by request.
