CHICAGO, Jan. marion Tai
ley, golden-voiced soprano from
the Kansas wheatfields, scored a
personal triumph in her come
back on the operatic stage in Chi
cago last night comparable to her
debut seven years ago, when she
was hailed as the girl prodigy of
grand opera.
Emerging from a four-year rest
on her Kansas farm, the singer
showed signs Of nervousness in
the first act of the opera "Rigo-
letto," but warmed to her role OF
"Gilda" in succeeding acts and
was call-1 from the wings re-
peatedly Antil she was forced to
decline further encoreS.
It was a strange coincidence
that her first success seven years
ago was in the same role of the
same opera. Never in the past,
however, did the singer win the
acclaim that she received in her
appearance last night.
Neither Miss Talley nor Paul
Longone, under whose sponsorship
she made the one-night appear
ance, would discuss plans for
further appearances.

LABOR RECORDS
GAIN UNDER
NEW DEAL
Green Regards Year As Most
Momentous in So Years
of Federation
BY International News Service


Probably the most momentous
year in the SO years Of organized
labor in this country has drawn
to a close and officials Of the
American Federation Of labor be-
gan cementing the gains the or
ganization has won in the year
known as the New Deal"
It was described by President
william Green as a great expert
ment in economic and social plan
ming" while Miss Frances Per-
kins, speaking as Secretary Of La
Dor, declared the establishment Of
the United States Employment
Service was one of the significant
developments of her nine months
tenure as the first woman Of a
Presidents Cabinet. Green said:
Gas we look back over the last
few months, we realize that in
deed we have been passing
through an unusual historic Pc
riOd."
That the federation has not
been idle these last few months
in adding to its membership, is
shown by the fact that since July
l last, it granted charters to 825
new unions.
Charters Are Multiplied
The number of charters issued
for the entire year of 1929 was
only rs. This means that IL
times as many new unions have
been organized in four months Of
a depression year as were formed
during all of the 1929 boom pc
riod. NRA, with it's collective bar
gaining guarantees for labor, is
considered chiefly responsible for
the unprecedented growth Of
unionism.
Both Miss Perkins and Green
praised the NRA codes which
banned child labor and which will
mean the end of sweat-shop
practices as an unfair means Of
competition.
On this subject Green said:
"Tn practically every indus
trial code Of fair practice there
Is incorporated q section pro-
viding for the abolition of child
labor in the mills, mines and
factories of the Nation. So that
in the operation Of the NRA
thus far we are making the
children free, and that has been
a set objective of the A. F. Of
L. for more than half a CEN
tury."
Green said labor fully realized
that the hours Of labor and the
minimum rates of pay eStab-
lished in the industrial codes
were unsatisfactory.

BROKER KILLING
BLAMED ON
JEALOUSY
Housekeeper Jailed, GriIIed
In Bathtub Hammer
Staying in New York

NEW YORK, Jan. l Q.N.S).
From q bloodstained hammer
picked up in the courtyard OF a
Riverside Drive apartment house,
police today expected to receive
confirmation Of their charge that
Mrs. Catherine Phelan, SO, grey.
haired housekeeper, killed her
wealthy, widowed employer,
Douglas Sheridan. IS, in fit Of
jealousy over the Wall Street
brokers' attention to younger
women.
Douglas body, the face and
head a bloody mass and the right
side scalded, was found in the
bathtub in his luxurious apart
ment by a policeman summoned
by Mrs. Phelan.
The housekeeper, for 20 years
in Sheridan's employ, stoutly de-
MED any connection with the
Staying. But police said their In
vestigation pointed to her as the
slayer, and that from the ham,
mer they expected fingerpr1nt ex-
perts today to reproduce evidence
directly linking Mrs. Phelan to
the crime.
Party Climax
Mrs. Phelan, who admitted hav.
ing been recently a patient at
Welfare Island Hospital, where
she underwent treatment for men,
tai disorders, was held on a
charge Of homicide when police
announced they were unsatisfied
with her story and had found
evidence in the apartment tend
ing to show her responsible for
Sheridan's death.
The killing, according to the
police investigation, climaXed a
round of drinking parties from
which Sheridan returned intoN.
Gated, accompanied by business
associate and young woman.
Mrs. Phelan, police were told,
upbraided the guests, Theodore
M. Young and Isabel Cullen, for
bringing Sheridan home in such
a condition and slapped the young
woman.
She then retired to her own
room, she said, while another
round Of drinks was served by
Sheridan.
Describes Finding Body
Mrs. Phelan told detectives she
left the apartment then and
went to a movie. She did not
stay long, however, she said, and
started nome. Seeing the apart
ment lighted, she decided not to
enter, not wishing to encounter
Young and Miss Cullen again,
and walked about for an hour.
She said:
"When I came back the
apartment was dark and l went
up. / prepared for bed and
went into the bathroom, where
1 found Mr.. Sheridan's body in
the tub. / tried to wash some
Of the blood off and then tele-
phOned friends Of his out on
Long Island and then to the
police"
Police headquarters said her
telephone call was received at
1881 a. M, and that a patrolman
was dispatched to the apartment
at once. When he arrived, Mrs.
Phelan told him:
"I've been waiting a long time

BY SENATOR JOE T. ROBINSON
Democratic Floor Leader Of the Senate
(Written Expressly for International
News Service.)
The birth Of 1884 brings to the
American people a reborn courage
and confidence in the future.
The Inauguration Of President
Roosevelt last March 4 reawakened
national hope and faith. His great
program for economic recovery
has destroyed national fear. The
people are looking forward to a
year in which normal life will be
restored throughout our country.
Congress, which convenes Wed
nesday, has a major duty to re-
form. It must support the Presi-
dent in his efforts to re-employ
our idle people, to keep the wheels
of industry whirling. to accelerate
the tides of commerce.
I feel sure that politics will be
adjourned at the coming session.
The Democratic party has right
to expect friendly cooperation
from its political opponents in the
new year-juSt as the Democratic
party co-operated with its political
opponents when economic dis
aSter first overlook the nation.
The success of the National Re
covery program is far too import
ant to be jeopardized by any in
dividuaps or any groups desire to
"play politics"
The stewardship Of the Demo
cratic party will be outlined in the
Presidents message to Congress
