OPERA CONTINUES
IN SPITE OF STRIKE
"HanseI and GreteI" Will Be
Given Saturday With
Piano for Music.

The National Opera Association,
whose production of "Lakme" was
thrown into confusion Tuesday night
by walk-out of musicians. today went
ahead with plans for matinee Satur-
day, as union musicians cast about
for ways and means Of collecting
money they claim the association owes
them.
Members Of the opera group an
nounced "Hansel and Gretel" will be
presented in Constitution Hall to a
piano accompaniment, and with the
support Of local music lovers and clubs
The tickets will be sold at reduced
rates.
Albert c. Hayden, president Of the
local musicians union, said the walk
out was the result of the breach of a
written contract by Mr.. and Mrs.
Eduoard Albion. Albion is president
and general director of the associa-
tion.
This same group" Hayden said,
cleft Washington six or seven years
ago owing musicians and stage hands
more than $1,000. Before the musi-
clans would play for them again they
obtained a contract calling for cash
before the curtain went up. The con-
tract also included payments Of several
hundred dollars on the old debt.
The cash, however, was not forth
coming. The management wished the
musicians to go ahead without being
paid and then offered them a check.
1t was against union rules to accept
the check. and also against the con-
tract, which called for cash. Both
and stage hands did consid-
cradle work preparing for Tuesday
nights presentation of 'Lakme.'"

8 OF 2,084 LOANS
HEREFORECLOSED
City Ranks High in H. O.
l. c. Records, With Aver
age Extension $5,797.

Out of 2,O84 loans made on Dis
trict property by the Home Owners
Loan Corp. only eight foreclosures
had been effected up to the end of
1885, it was disclosed today.
Reasons for the foreclosures were
listed as follows: Three because own
ers of the homes refused to make
payments, although they were able
to do so; two because of abandoned
property; two because OF legal COM
plications. and one because the owner
died and the heirs were not interested
The average loan advanced on
homes in the District was shown to
be higher than the average for any
State in the country. The average
local loan stood at $5,797, with New
York State second. at $5,132. The
average for the entire country was
$3,017. The principal reason for the
higher average here was that virtually
all the District loans were on city
property, whereas the State loans in
cluded many on farm property, most
of which is Of lower value.
Only seven more loan applications
from District home owners remain to
be acted on, it was learned. Applica-
tions which were either rejected by
the H. o. L. c. or withdrawn by ap-
plicants totaled 1887.
When receipt OF applications was
resumed for 30 days last May q, for
the first time since November, 1884,
only 238 local applications were filed.
This was taken as an indication that
the distress loan situation was clear
ing up.
No new applications can be made
now, but the H. o. L. G. is authorized
to consider amended applications from
those already having loans up to June
13, 1886.
The total advanced on District
property up to January 8 was
1901 ,542.

F. A. BERLIN FACES
FRAUD CITATION
Alleged to Have Schemed
to Trade on Reputation
of Business Bureau.

A citation against Frederick A. Ber-
lin. 1919 F street, to show cause why
a fraud order should not be issued
against him and three organizations
allegedly conducted by him was issued
today from the Office of Karl A. Crow
ley. solicitor of the Post Of1ice De-
partm9nt.
The citation was signed by Calvin
w. Hassell, attorney on the solicitors
staff, and names Berlin, the National
Board of Trade, the National Better
Business Bureau and the International
Better Business Bureau.
(The first two organizations are not
to be confused with the Washington
Board of Trade and the Washington
Better Business Bureau.)
Accused Of Devising Scheme.
The accusation sets out that Berlin
and his associates, well knowing the
wide and favorable regulations of the
several Better Business Bureaus of the
National Better Business Bureau of
New York and of the several boards
of trade throughout the United States,
devised, and intended to devise, q
scheme for obtaining money through
the mails from divers persons" and
would trade upon the good repu-
tation Of the well known concerns"
It is also charged that certificates
of incorporation for the three organi-
cations had been filed under District
laws.
Thirteen specific charges are made.
including allegations that the Ma
tional Better Business Bureau claimed
to be "in fact, the well known and
long established concern Of that
name" and that the "so-called Ma
tional Board of Trade claimed to be
the well known Board of Trade of
Washington, D. c."
Claimed "Influence," Is Charge.
Other specific charges are that the
three organizations claimed to main
tam highly efficient stats to repre-
sent members before Government
agencies, departments and bureaus"
and that they work close to all
branches of the Government" 'Inf1u-
ence" with the Post Office Department
is also alleged to be one of the claims.
The order concludes with the state
ment lin truth and in fact, as said
parties well know, all of the aforesaid
pretenses, representations and prom
ises are false and fraudulent"
Berlin and his organizations have
been under investigation by the WASH
ington Better Business Bureau and
the Washington Board of Trade for
some time and Louis Rothschild, bu-
reau director, and Robert J. Cottrell,
executive secretary Of the trade board,
have issued warnings to their men,
bers against Berlin's alleged activities.

statements made by Lewis, Green and other leaders of labor.
 Green, however, did suggest for the first time that there were courses other than suspension which the council could take if 1t desired. His suggestion was merely in ex. planation of legal possibilities and he emphasized 1t did not affect his opinion that only surrender would satisfy the council.
 These courses were:
 1. Appointment of committee to study the situation and negotiate further with the c. I. O.'lcaders for a settlement.
 2. Postponement of definite ac- ton until the next council meeting or until the November annual con- vention.
 Neither course would be satisfac- tory to Frey or the leaders of the custer movement on the council. Frey, possibly anticipating some such action, disclosed that he be busy over the week end in fur thering his demands for suspension but declined to say what he would do,
