"A RS. EDWARD Mcdowell,
MI widow of the American COM
wv poser, last evening was the
guest of the Alumnae Club
Of Alpha Chi Omega, which is con-
GLIDING its convention with a two-day
stay In Washington. Following a din
ner at the Shoreham large audience
gathered in the ball room to hear an
hour Of MacDowell's music played by
Mrs. Mcdowell.
1t is seldom in these days that one
finds the same spirit Of devotion which
animated Clara Schumenn and Co
sima Wagner and caused them to car
ry on after their famous husbands
death, making their works more fully
known and presenting them with a
personal color which Is always relished
by their admirers.
Mrs. MacDcwell resembles both
these celebrated women, being, as was
Clara Schunann, an outstanding
pianist in her own right, and as
Cosima Wagner, the head Of q great
movement to preserve and encourage
art. The Alpha Chi Omega Sorority
was one Of the first to contribute to
the Mcdowell Colony in Peter
borough and maintains a cottage at
that resort for creative artists.
Too rarely does one have the OPP
portunity to know the circumstances
which inspire the composition of a
work or what the thoughts and feel
ings Of a composer were when he
placed his ideas on paper in a musical
form. Anecdotes relating to each
number she played accompanied the
short program Mrs. Mcdowell gave
and, interesting and convincing as
were her interpretations from a plan
istic standpoint, every disciple Of her
famous husbands music must have
delighted in this occasion to glimpse
the personality and mentality of the
composer through such intimate rev.
Citations from one who assisted con-
stantly at the development Of his
genius.
Beginning her program with her
husbands first attempt at compost
ton, Mrs. Mcdowell played the pre-
lude from his first suite. Urged
by Raft to seek LISTS opinion on his
talent as composer. the young plan
list went to Weimer to see the great
man. Arriving at his home on a
bitterly cold day, he could not bring
himself to ask admittance but sat for
two long hours on an iron bench in
the garden until some student saw
him and told List of the fact The
kindly master came himself to ask

CHORAL CONCERT.

A concert of folk songs, religion.
compositions and spirituals, well ar
ranged and we'll sung by the Nathanie
Dett Choral Society, conducted by
Virginia Williams, was presented BY
the Community Center Department
and the Office of National Capital
Parks as the fourth event in the
present season of Summer festivals at
the National Sylvan Theater.
The chorus of 1875 voices was heard
in five groups of unaccompanied sing
ing. The first group, Folk Idioms
From Other Shores" opened with
Dett's own composition, Gently Lord
Gently Lead U.s." followed by Sky Sc
Bright" by Dickinson, and "As by
the Streams of Babylon" by Campion-
Dett. Tschaikowsky's Hymn to the
Trinity was outstanding in the sec
ond group, which also included an
interesting piece by Lvosky, conducted
by Clyde Glass, the pianist of the
group.
Three compositions by Nathaniel
Dett comprised the fourth group, OF
which two. I'll Never Turn Back No
More" based on a fragment of Negro
long meter" and song of the under
ground railway, Let Us Cheer the
Weary Traveller" were unusually fine
The climax of the program came with
the singing of the "spirituals. The
Soloists were Frank S. Bolden and
Horace Wilson, the group including
the ever-popular Swing Low, Sweet
Chariot" Belts Somebody's Knock
ing at Your Door" and his arrange
ment of America the Beautiful"

be held on July when the Marian
Chace Dance Group will appear, and

POOR BUSINESS

WHATEVER it was that inspired legisla-
w tive gentlemen in several states to de-
feat ratification of the Child Labor Amend
ment. 1t certainly was not social sagacity or
business sense.
Practically all the 5OO-odd NRA codes out
law the work of children under 16 If or when
these codes expire child labor regulation will
be thrown back upon the states. Only four
states have work age limits as high as those of
the codes. In eight states children between
IA and 16 still may work nine to IL hours a
day.
What will happen when the children now
protected by the codes are tossed to the mer-
cies of these inadequate state laws?
What else but new unemployment prob
lem and higher relief taxes? What but a pic
ture of parents being pushed out of their
jobs so that underpaid children may take
them? What also but set of new social
problems raised by child labor's inevitable by
products of disease, juvenile delinquency and
crime?
Child labor is not cheap labor for the ma
ton. 1t is the costlest kind of labor in the
long run And without Federal law every
SldlS WIFI U6C6I1J 6IdLudIQS VIII DC COulp0Ul-
ton with the backward ones.
A peculiarly noxious sort of propaganda is
being spread by patrioteefing states-rights
committee in the effort to paint the Twenty
first Amendment lurid red and its trainers
as American bolsheviks The fact is that this
amendment was framed 10 years ago by three
conservative constitutional lawyers Senators
Pepper, ShortriGge and Tom Walsh.
This amendment is mild enough. If it is
defeat led Congress PROBABLY will pass new
child Elabor law and the more liberal United
Stated Supreme Court probably will uphold it.
SuchIa measure might go farther than the
preseAt one.
WI have come a long way since 1924. A
few states may block this particular amend
ment, But it is not likely that they can long
blockra reform so well grounded in common
humsslity and common sense.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1935-02-05

abuses. AS a result labor is swinging away
from the code and NRA, and turning to Con-
gress for relief.
OF course it is not unusual for enc party in
an industrial dispute to threaten withdrawal
from a code. Employers have been doing that
with increasing frequency in recent months,
and several industries have succeeded in de-
flying any and all codifcation.
But the government has never refused en-
ployers a hearing Labor therefore is making
the most of the issue of discrimination. That
seems more important than the fact that
majority of the National Industrial Recovery
Board itself was reported overruled by the
President in extending the automobile code.
The discrimination issue is important be-
cause it goes to the heart Of the purpose of
NRA as created by Congress. The purpose
here was to provide recovery machinery for
balancing the rights of capital and labor with
the government as umpire. If the government
rules in favor Of capital without granting Ia
Dor even an open hearing, what becomes of
the democracy in the codes?
With the United States Supreme Court
holding that NRA acts to be legal and consti-
tutional must carry out the purposes of Con-
gress, labor's new appeal to Congress for re-
lief is more than merely an angry gesture
The Presidents automobile decision unques-
tionably has strengthened the Congressional
forces fighting to scrap the alleged employer
dominated NRA and codes and to enact in
stead a rigid law fixing maximum hours, mini
mum wages and majority union rule in all in
dustries.

:WORKING ON NEW ROAD

COMETHING was written here recently
- ABOUT the progress of work on the great
Pan-american highway, which will eventually
provide a continuous motor road from Alaska
to this Argentine. A great deal more of this
road IS now in service than most of us realize;
however, it seems that it was an error to re-
port that the highway is open for motor
traffic from Texas to Mexico City.
w. H. Furlong, United States representa-
tive on the National Highway Direction of the
Republic of Mexico reports that one sector of
this road has been closed for repairs. The
road through the mountain area around
Tamazunchale is being widened and equipped
with guard rails. and until this is finished
through traffic is blocked.
Soft you're planning to drive to Mexico
City, better give the Mexican government a
few more weeks to complete the job.

THE MOLEY MYSTERY

GONE months ago there was a furry over
- the mysterious Wall Street meetings
of Raymond Moley. Though little has been
said about them recently. these select gather
ings continue to be held And in Wash
ington there is growing speculation as to
their character and purpose
Originally it was said that these were semi
official parties at which Mr.. Moley served as
the Presidents appointed spokesman and
ambaSsador-at-large to the world of busi-
ness. The idea was circulated that this was
the method chosen by the Administration to
make peace between the New Deal and big
business.
But latterly there has been little evidence
that Mr.. Moley has q close working relation
ship with the President. Moreover, the Presi-
dent himself, properly. has been doing his own
direct contact work with representatives of
large business interests.
Whatever the correct explanation of its
character and purpose may be, this Moley
institution in its ramifcations seems to have
the potentialities at least of new form of
lobby. But unlike the Liberty League for
instance, it does not operate in the open, and
neither its activities nor its achievements, if
any, are known to the public.

THE GREEDY STEP UP

ORGANIZED opposition to the ratification
" Of the Child Labor Amendment to the
Federal Constitution eas reared itself in the
Indiana House Of Representatives and the
states crusaders for social justice once more
are embroiled in bitter battle in their efforts
to obtain ratification Of the amendment
Fate Of the ratification measure in Indiana
will be decided late this week, it was learned
today.
Selfish and greedy interests have stepped
into the fight and a split has appeared in the
Democratic ranks.
Those Democrats who oppose the amend
ment are being told to disregard the leader
ship Of Franklin Delano Roosevelt and in IN
diana of Paul v McNutt. They are told that
farmers will be forbidden to send their chill
dren out to do chores, that the amendment
gives Congress the absolute right to regulate
the entire life Of every child in America up to
the age of 10.
That isn't so and every intelligent person
in the United States knows it isn't so.
Behind the opposition to the ratification Of
the Child Labor Amendment stands the self
ish. bloated figure CT misunderstanding
Business.
Those Republicans VINO oppose the ratif1ca-
ton are not opposing it for apparently any
other reason than 70 harass the majority.
Those Republicans forget that one of Indi-
ana's greatest Republicans-one of the great
est Republicans ever to grace the United
States Senate-waged a battle for the abolition
of child labor years before the amendment was
ever proposed to Congress.
That Republican was the late Senator AL
bert j. Beveridge RepublIcans-and especially
Indiana Republicans-should remember him.
He spoke for three solid days in the United
States Senate for the abolition of child labor.
Albert j. Beveridge could see what was
happening to Americas children.
But perhaps Indianas legislators are blind.
