Although 1t was announced that all
characters are to be assumed fictitious,
there was no installing such figures
as Huey Long, Secretary Ickes, Gen.

National Baptist Church. Nellie
White, and students in music classes
OF Central High School, Janet Tor
bert, instructor.
Under the inspiring leadership Of
DR.. Williamson, the massed choruses
sang with beautiful effect In spite Of
some moments of hesitation. It was
not so much the character Of the
work that was impressive as the idea
that here were groups Of singers, many
Of them having no other musical ex-
preston than the choral work, united
in an Interpretation Of the great
thoughts inclosed in the music they
sang. If an argument were needed
for the value Of music week, such q
demonstration would be suficient
answer.
The A Cappella Choir of First Con-
gregational Church and the A. Cappella
Choir Of Hagerstown were rivals for
first place In the solo numbers. Both
choirs are excellently trained and,
while the work Of Mrs. Stahl's group
is well known and deeply appreciated,
the singing Of the Hagerstown choir,
under the careful direction of Mr..
Hollinger, was pleasant revelation of
good vocal material, expert training
and musical response. Dickinson's I'm
Joseph,s Lovely Garden" Christian
sens I'm Heaven Above" and Thomp-
sons Spring Bursts Today" in which
the students Of the music classes of
Central High School and junior and
intermediate choirs sustained the solo
parts, were especially lovely moments
Of the program.
Variety was added to the program
by the rendition Of Max Rogers "Toc.
cato in D Minor" by Joseph Hauber
at the organ and the playing of the
Community Center Civic Symphony,
B. F. Alart, conductor, Of Mendels-
sohn's Overture Ruy Bias" aud Q
Fantasia" on Puccini's NINE. But
terfly." An opening address was
made by Gertrude Lyons, president
Of the District of Columbia Federation
Of Music Clubs, who introduced Mrs.
John A. Jardine, national president,
who spoke Of the aims Of music week,
followed by c. M. Tremaine, director
of the National Bureau for the Ad-
vancement Of Music. Mr.. Tremaine
concluded his remarks by reading
President Roosevelt's letter In appre-
citation Of the idea Of music week.

Ccmrade Editor:
Burck's cartoon. "a Speech in
Every Pot," published in the Daily"
of Jan. g. could be re-run to good
ADVANTAGE on the front page-im-
mediatelv. because it is very timely
after the Unemployed Congress in
washington. The cartoon placed
on the upper part of the front page
directly below the headlines would
sell more papers and get more nom
readers interested in the Daily
Worker than the headlines of the
Jan. Q issue: Councils Get Hunger
March Plan" and Conference Is
Called On Scottsboro."
I don't know whether there are
any technical rules against it, but
do know that the Hearst paper
in l.. A. has bought off one of the
institutions of the L. A. Times. their
front page cartoonist. and if Hearst
can learn technique from the L. A.
Times, why not the Daily Worker?
You will pardon my getting sore,
but every time I see a brilliant Burck
cartoon that would catch the eye
of thousands in one stroke. tucked
away on the back page. I can't help
getting INDIGESTION even when !

Average Pay for 1884

BY a Marine Worker CORRESPONDENT
NORFOLK. Va.-Local 978 of
the I. L. A. has Just made check
on what was earned by each man
belonging to the local during the
past year.
Figures show that Sl1l.05 was
earned per man for the year Of
1897. Out of this wage s24 was
paid per man to the local for dues
and assessments, leaving a grand
total of S97.05 for man to feed
a family on for a year.
Formerly there were grafters at
the head of this local who stole
$4,000 from the local. These were
expelled from the local and lead
ers from the rank and file were
put in their places. Ryan. the in
ternational head of the I. L. A,
protested against the longshore-
mems attempts to run them off
the docks, but never did thing
about the $1,000 that they had
stolen from the local.
The Waterfront Council of the
I. L. A. revoked the charter Of
Local 978, but mass pressure from
the longshoremen won it back.

Forced Labor
Relief Plans
By ? Marine Worker Correspondent

By 2 Marine Worker Correspondent
NEWPORT NEWS. Va.-The fol-
lowing happened the day before
Christmas when the relief takers
were irving to put forced labor over
on the seamen.
An elected committee of three
seamen, together with the restaurant
owners, went to the Relief Bureau to
protest the cutting down Of the
meals. They we're met BY Merry
Judy's "a relief faker) committee
which consisted of the Chief Of
Police. the City Manager. and riot
squad which was concealed in and
outside of the o)m.
After much discussion Judy
stated that the money allotted for
relief was exhausted
The Chief of Police stated that
when he was down in Fl Nrida he
was eating f1fteen-cent meals. After
a little more arguing back and
forth, one of the restaurant owners,
who PLAYS ball with the police
agreed to feed the seamen at fifteen
cents a meal, thinking that he
would get all the Seamen in his
place BY feeding them on soap. But
the stage was set in case this petty
business guy weakened. so the other
business people also agreed to the
/ fivs-cent cut.
The City Manager stated that he
himself had gone to the trouble Of
having Seamen's Relief here ir
Newport News. We, the seamen
and also the citizens of Newport
News know that the City Manager
was opposed to anv seamen's relief
and know that the relief was es-
tablished through hard fight anc
many trips to Washington by the
seamen.
So, the credit goes to the seamen
not to the City Manager. The sea.
men here have stopped the ques.
ton Of forced labor for the tint
being Still, the seamen are or.
ganizing so that any attempt thai
is made by the relief takers to pu
over the forced labor plan can b,
stopped

be willing to change their hours a
bit. Thus, still maintaining the
stagger systemD On this the dele
gates were told that if they had
represented the men properly, and
not signed the new agreement in
its present form, as the men re-
quested. they (the delegates) would
not have to worry about hour diff
ficulties now. CThe workers de-
mand was for the return of the
ten per cent cut and a 40-hour
week without reduction in weekly
pay) The delegates thought this
answer unjust. They said they had
been running themselves ragged for
the past few days. trying to
straighten things out for the men.
On this they we're told that 1t was
about time they did something be-
sides walk around the shop.
Right after this, proposal to
vote confidence in the dele
gates was put on the floor by a
worker. The president Of the local
refused to put this to vote. He
gave up his chair, thus forcing a
vote through as to whether or not
the chair was supported by the
men. OF course, the men did not
uphold the decision OF the chair
The president was forced to allow
the vote to go through Local One
unanimously voted non confidence
in the delegates
The men then tried to suspend
the constitution for the remainder
Of the meeting. This also was re-
fused by the chair. At this point
the workers we're so aroused that
various speakers stood up and de-
nounced the delegates as bunch
Of misrepresentation.
One Of the delegates tried tC
brand a worker as a sucker. This
worker threw back the siur, ano
then openly declared himself anc
the majority of those present As
members of the Transport Workers
Union. He also told the delegates
that 80 per cent Of the workers In
the shop we're behind the Transport
Workers Union and that they, tht
delegates. we're no better off thar
the workers. The job Of delegate
was no more secure than that Of
the workers. therefore it is advisable
for the delegates to go with the
ma jority. To this the delegates haC
no answer. The meeting adjourned
