STRING QUARTET
PLEASES WITH
TONE and STYLE.
Metropolitan Ensemble
Makes D. C. Debut
BY WILLIAM NEWMAN

by WILLIAM NEWMAN
The Metropolitan Opera String
Ensemble, its members recruited
from the Metropolitan Opera
Orchestra, made its first appear
ance here last night in the ball
room of the Raleigh Hotel, to play
with more unanimity than COM
monty is achieved by any but a
group of specialists who continu-
ally practice together.
Because of its relatively slight
sorority, the string quartet en-
semble is the most difficult to
establish, unless it be that Of the
piano duo, in which the quickness
Of articulation makes precision
precarious.
MISSED THE SPIRIT
These gentlemen - Frederick
Buldrini, Salvatore dellIsola, John
A. di Janni and Mario Mazzoni-
accomplished much that was ad-
mirable in point of tone and style,
but left unfulfilled certain duties
and obligations imposed by the
Beethoven quartet, opus 95 in F
minor. 1t was curious to note that
careful observance Of the typical
Beethoven dynamicS could lack
those qualities of conviction and
inevitability that belong to the
style. This is to be explained,
probably, by similar lack of con.
victicn on the part of the per.
D formers, who followed the letter
but missed the spirit.
Minuei3 by Beethoven and Boo
cherini were charmingly played
and an Andante by Dittersdorf,
contemporary Of Haydn, was flaw
less, an opinion shared unani-
mously by the listeners, who clam.
ored for an encore.
ADMIRABLE SOLO
Nine. Amelia Cont, famous
harpist of the New York and Chi
cago operas, was billed in the mod
est capacity Of accompanist to the
singer Of the evening and members
Of the ensemble. OF her the pub
lie demanded a solo. Though I
confess that the work offered was
unfamiliar, I found its presenta-
ton admirable.
Sylvia Grazzini, coloratura so.
prano, judged by her account Of
songs by Pergolesi, Schumann and
MaSenet, is more interested in
opera than in smaller lyric com.
positions. Her voice was a bit
husky at the beginning, but, as she
warmed to her task, it gained in
freedom and quality.

The bills introduced in the House and Senate
yesterday to give specific effect to the President
eeneralities on hours and wages and working con-
ditions first called for minimum wage of 40
cents an hour and work week of from 80 to 40
hours little later substitutes were introduced
leaving to congress the insertion of the figures;
and that abrupt change in policies brings on few
questions.
Nearly everybody is agreed, we take it, that
minimum wages and maximum hours are desirable,
and that child labor should be eliminated But II
congress fixes minimum wages, isn't it pretty GER
tain that forever afterward it will be under terrific
pressure constantly to raise the minimum? If Con-
gresham Schnitzle runs $25 minimum-wage
platform and Congressman Schnotzle on S4O
minimum isn't Congressman Schnotzle certain to
be elected? And if congress fixes minimum wages,
is there any assurance that it won't be persuaded
sooner or later to fix all wages, and won't 1t be
bound to guarantee an employers expenses If he
is not making enough to pay the wages or to limit
his profits if he is making too much? And if con-
gress fixes wages and hours and guarantees eX-
penses ana limits profits, haven't we departed en-
tirey from free competitive system and backed
into state socialism?
The regulation of minimum wages and maximum
hours probably will be good thing, to start WITH
But anybody who expects regulation to stop there
is forgetting that congressman are, first last and
all the time, politicians who depend on votes Tor

NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
SHALL THEY EAT. IF THEY REFUSE
TO WORK?

Another boaStful speaker of last Saturday was
the Hon. Harry L. Hopkins, Federal works FROG
ress Administrator who addressed a conference on
unemployment and education in New York. we
are now living under new philosophy OF govern
ment," he declared, "a philosophy that says that
American citizens have right to eat. And that
philosophy, created during the period of emerg-
ency, will be the philosophy of America from now
on" There is nothing new about the philosophy
which Mr.. Hopkins expounded in that speech,
whether it is true that we are living under it
or whether he proves a good or bad prophet about
its being the philosophy of America henceforth 1t
is the philosophy of the socalled historical school,
of Germany The leaders of that school held a
conference at Eisenbach in 1872, or 90 years ago,
and declared that the national State was not
passive policeman" but benevolent father ana
an economic and spiritual guide, with duty to
foster agriculture, national industry, national COM
merce, and national labor. 1t was in accordance
with the program of that conference that the Ger
man government, with Bismarck at it's head, insti-
tuted all the so-called social security" features
which Mr.. Hopkins represented having been
created during the period of emergency" 1t is
significant also that the cornerstone of that phi
losophy was economic nationaism and that the
conference declared the national German state to
De tne great moral INSTITUTION i0i ''N
of humanity" and demanded that it speedily enact
such legislation as would enable an increasing
number of people to participate in the highest
benefits of German kutur." The foundation plank
of its platform, by the way, was high protective
tariff and when the whole program was put into
effect early in the eighties, high tariff law was
the central measure of the legislation then enacted
And that was the beginning of Il process which
continued nexorably to the climax of the World
war OF course, Mr. Hopkins would vehemently
deny governmental coercion and narrow national
istc insulation from the rest of the world are in
evitably involved in such a philosophy. But they
are Just the same.-TeXas Weekly.

THE SAME LINEUP

Textile workers. like all others, must face facts
and it is important to face them squarely in the
current drive by union organizers to get them IN
the dues-paying ranks.
The workers will recall that in 1884 the most eX-
travagant promises were made by the organizers
and they also recall what happened. Not only were
the promises untitled, with even requests for food
and other fundamental help being ignored at the
union headquarters after workers went out on
strike at their urging, but the violence, suffering
and sorrow that developed were left for the strlk-
ers to bear as best they might.
Today, although Francis Gorpan and other Uni
ted Textile Workers union leaders arc soft-pedal-
ing the story of 1884, the situation is as it was
then German is still the U. T. w. head and Or
ganzers who were active then reported still on
the job. Presumably, the promises are just as nu-
merous and rosy and baseless.
Enrolling under the banner of the c. /. o. does
not change the complexion of the problem as 1t
must be faced The U. T. w. is part of the c.
III. o. for the occasion of this campaign, at least,
and when it is over control will still be in the
hands of German or someone of his type.
The textile workers were badly and tragicaly
fooled in 1884. With the same men, or worse, do
ing the ballyhooing no more may be expected IN
1887 One lesson, learned at such high cost, should
be enough-Anderson Mail.

When you buy something on
which you expect to make a profit
and for which you can or do pay,
isn't that an investment? But
when you agree to buy something
on which you expect to make a
profit but for which you cannot
pay and for which you do not eX-
pect to pay but rather to sell be-
fore you have to pay, isn't that
speculation? If you buy land or
stocks on which you make a down
payment, but hoping that the
price will rise, so you can sell at
a profit before you have to make
further payment, aren't you spec
ulating and specializing danger
ously? That is the kind of thing,
as l see it, the president will not
permit government employees to
do.

that he cant keep his attention
on his business. His heart is in
something else. For another thing
Il specializing cmplOye is not Il
good moral risk. At any time he
may find that he must get hold
Of more money to protect the
money he has already put into his
venture. He may convince himself
that if he could just get hold of
additional money for few days
he could pull out in great shape.
A person in that state of mind
is liable to "boTow' any money
he can get his hands on -- and
he may omit the formality Of
speaking to anyone about it; the
thing has been done over and
over again. Most embellishments
are the result of just such con-
ditions as the foregoing.
Speculation is a form of gam
bling. An cmplOye who is gam
bling is not an cmployc to tie to-.
If we could all know how much
money has been lost and how
many brains have been blown out
as q result of speculation we could
all understand the presidents or

against speculation.
If you want to buy something
outright legitimately and pay for
it with the idea of keeping it --
or selling it as you see fit-that
is your business; but if you buy
something which you cant pay
for and never could pay for, and
which would put you in deuce
of a hole if you were called on
to pay for it, that is the business
of anybody whose life or affairs
you touch.

WTASHINGTON.-No year seems
w to be quite complete without
a spectacular struggle in Congress
between the administration and
Wall Street. This year may be
an exception, but the makings Of
a fracaS are available and inev-
itably will be dragged into the
arena.
It should not surprise anyone if
the Chandler bill, the Barley bill
and the Lea bill went shooting
through rather rapidly at this
session, despite walls from the
financial district.
The Chandler bill aims TO re-
form corporation reorganization
practices in the interest Of the in
weston. The Barley bill attempts
to make trustees of q bond issue
actually an effective means of
protection for bond holders. The
Lea bill undertakes to provide
that protective committees func-
tioning in cases of receiverShip
shall actually function for the pro-
lection of security holders.
The three bills represent an in
tegrated program Of legiSla-
ton designed to eliminate the re-
organization racket through which
bankers, attorneys, promoters and
others have gypped the investing
public all over again after con-
Germs have gone bankrupt, eSpc-
cially during the depression.

i outgrowth of the monumental
investigation and study of corpo-
