CIO Workers Avoid
 Clash With Police
Permitted to Issue Papers at Factory Gate Following
 Interpretation of City OrdinanCe--NO Violation

preached supt. of Police William !. Roach in connection with handing cut of copies of 8 paper called The Peorle's Press" at the West Main street gate of the American Brass Co. according to a statement made by Mir. Cachin today, they were informed that a city ordinance ruled out any such distribution.
 The ordinance reads in part ss follows: No persons shall distribute. throw or drop O. cause to be dropped in any of the streets or public squares of this city, any post CTS, handbills, advertising cards, or other used for the purpose of ad- vertising."
 It was first believed that the members of the executive committee of the local Brass Workers Union, a c. I.sO. affiliate, would be vio- lating the clause in the ordinance which has to do with advertising. An examination of copy proved, however, that there was no ad- vertising in the paper and some 2,5O0 copies were distributed to the men and women as they came out of the gates.

O. in the oil fields. He said he planned to attend the meeting, although he is not council member.
 Frey said that he will press for summoning of a convention and busting of the John L. Lewis faction when the matter is brought up." Frey acted as prosecutor during the trial by the council of 10 c. I. O. unions last summer. The council voted then to suspend but not expel them. Meantime. the international executive board of the United Auto mobile Workers union met in Lew- is's office to discuss the Canadian strike situation and unionizing plans in the plants of the Ford Motor Co.
 Ed Hall, vice president of the un- ion, said both matters would be dis cussed but that the exact program of the meeting would not be un- folded until arrival of President Homer Martin from Detroit.

DOyly Carle opera w. d44o AUo ooAA
ences. He is the connecting link VINO
co-ordinates Mr.. Sullivan's music from
the orchestra pit with Mr.. Glberts
librettos on the stage.
He is youngiSh, red-headed, and has
immense enthusiasm for his work.
That enthusiasm. in fact, is one thing
at which audiences at the National
this week have wondered. How, many
people want to know. is it possible to
be 50 sincerely enthused over music
that must be as familiar to Godfrey
as his face in the mirror?
Well, the answer is simple, as God
frey puts it.
In the first place" he says, there's
something about those ScoreS-Some
touch of genius-that makes That
music live. One doesn't tire of it
THEN the musicians themselves are
another factor. he adds. When
on the road the orchestra is composed
of 8 men from the New York orches-
tre and IL from the city where the
company is playing.
They have to play the score accu-
rately, of course, note for note. Ine
style of the music, too, is entirely dill
ferent from the music found in mod
ern musical comedies. There Is much
emphasis on strings and ToodWlndS
Brass cannot be permitted 20 do the
things brass does with music of today;
It has to contribute a cleaner, more
even tone.
These things and others make Mr.
Godfrey's Job new one week after
week. He has new material before
him even though the scores are
familiar.
Its exceedingly interesting to keep
working with new people and new per-
sonalities," he says, in spite OF the
fact it's trying at times. The main
difficulty is that I work with the men
for two weeks, get them co-ordinated
and playing the way want, and then
have to leave"
The musical score used by the
DOyly Carte troupe is played ex-
actly as it was orchestrated by Sulli-
van. The original called for few
more strings than We have" Godfrey
says, but that's the only difference" "
Otherwise he doesn't dare change a
single note, any more than the Savoy
ards would dare to experiment with
lines or stage business.
X * X
GODFREY, of course, doesn't par
ticularly want to experiment with
the Sullivan music. Once that sort
of thing is started, he feels, once a
passage Of music Is changed slightly,
it leads on to more and more changes
until there's nothing of the original
left. And it's Godfrey's opinion that
the music is all right as it has been
for years.
The conjectures which have been
made as to whether the words or the
music of the Gilbert and Sullivan
operas will live the longer are some
thing Godfrey will have no part Of
There's that touch of genius in the
Sullivan music which makes 1t differ
ent," he declares. IT'S a combina-
tion of the popular type of music
which catches the ear Immediately
and the other kind, the classical,
which requires study for appreciation.
And Sullivan was fortunate in having
