the president publicly recognized
the emergency intensified by
swelling numbers of unemployed.
He listed an alternative plan for
the proposed $l,000,000,000 PWA
program: Continuation Of the
present method of As per cent
grants and So per cent loans to
states, municipalities and politi-
cal subdivisions that would bear
no interest. Under the latter plan
the government pays the interest
and the borrower the principal.
But Mr.. Roosevelt emphasized
that no loans or grants should be
made on state OF local projects
which cannot be started within
six months of the date of the en-
! abling legislation and completed
within a year OF Is months from
the date of commencement of the
work. Likewise he recommended
that the additional $l00,0OO,0 900
for public roads be used for prof.
ects which can be definitely start
ed this calendar year.

This same fairylike quality gave
beauty to the air from Ravel's "L'En-
fant ct lie Sortilege" and daintiness
to her presentation of such songs as
Pretty Mocking Bird" Chausson's S
Lies Papillons" and Debussy' Man
doline." The two arias, "Je suis
Titania," from Thomas "Mignon,"
and the air from David's La Perle
du Bresil" were impeccable from the
technical standpoint, but her voice
lacked the sparkle with which she
once sang them, while Brahms
"Lerchengesang" and "Das Maedchen
spricht" and Faure's LES Roses
d'Ispahan" were almost too miniature
in her manner of singing them.
Mr.. La Forge. accompanying from
memory, provided an ideal background
for the artist who had him share the
applause with her. Several encores,
popular numbers from her repertoire,
were added to the not overlong pro-
gram. but not enough to satisfy the
audience which fingered in the hope
that Miss Pons could be induced to
sing many more. Among the extra
songs were Rossinis The Shepherd
ess," the vocal arrangement of Liadov's
Music Box Hue's "A des Oiseaux"
and the Bird Song"

singer with real enthusiasm. In sew
eral Of the numbers Miss Pons was
assisted by Dominic Iascone, local
flutist, who played obligatos for the
Bishop-La Forge Pretty Mocking
Bird" the air from La Perle du
Bresil" and for several encores.
Within the last two seasons Miss
Pons' recitals have carried the addi-
tional interest Of improved vocal de-
livery. She has definitely abandoned
the hard and forceful way in which
she formerly sang and has trained her
self in freer and more artistic style
Of singing. Yesterday her entire pro-
gram was given with every attention
to nuance in Interpretation and with
restrained vocal tone. Her fioritura
passages were beautifully delivered
and her voice throughout its register
was maintained with pleasing equality.
However, one misses somewhat the
brihlancy which marked her singing
in former years. There was none of
that dazzling color and dashing dis
play yesterday that first won her
fame. Her arias were sung in con-
cert manner, yet her songs did not
proclaim her a concert singer. There
is not enough substance to her voice
to properly portray Brahms nor Faure
nor does it carry sufficient conviction
to thrill an audience Last year the
progress she made in voice produc-
ton was pleasant surprise. but this
season, while she has retained what
she acquired, she has not done any,
thing more with it. Yesterday she
was neither an opera singer, giving
song recital, nor a recitalist of
purest caliber.
However. aside from this question,
her program was given with the ut
most taste and refinement. While her
voice has not the required sorority
or warmth for some of the numbers.
her musical insight was specially
noteworthy and she sang with ease
and charm. Particularly lovely was
her first group, which included the
anonymous "Dites. que faut-it faire?"
the air "Fraiches Rives," from Gluck's
Helen ct Paris" not within memory
heard here before, and Proch's "Varia-
tions." which gave her an opportunity
to display her fine coloratura. These
t&xee numbers were especially well
suited to her delicate tonal art.

representatives for the purpose Of
collective bargaining"
Turning to the Pennsylvania Grey
hound Lines, Inc, and Greyhound
Management Company, Justice Stone
said the findings show that the re-
spondents had engaged in unfair la
Dor practices by interfering with, re-
straining and coercing employees in the
exercise of their rights guaranteed
by Section (of the national labor
relations act), in that they had inter-
fered with the formation and admin
istration of labor organization of
their employees, Employees Association
Of Pennsylvania Greyhound Lines,
Inc, and had contributed financial
and other support to it, in violation
of the labor act.
Violations of the labor act were
also developed in the investigation of
the practices Of Pacific Greyhound
Lines, Inc.
Railway Labor Act Cited
The opinion then pointed out that
the experience in administering the
railway labor act had shown company
unions to be a stumbling block to eff
fective collective bargaining.
Congress, in enacting the labor re-
lations act, had in mind the experience
in the administration of the railway
labor act" Justice Stone continued
"and declared that the former was 'an
amplification and further clarification
Of the principles of the latter
ITO secure to employees the benefits
of self-organization and collective
bargaining through representative of
the employees own choosing the board
was authorized to order the abandon
ment of unfair labor practices and to
take affirmative action which would
carry out the policy of the act"
Incapable of Collective Bargaining
Under these conditions the supreme
court held that the authority admins
tering the labor act had the statutory
right to demand the abolition of the
company unions, and therefore re-
versed the decisions of the two cir
cult courts of appeal which held that
the labor act did not give the admin
istrative authority such power.

Chicago ULNS) Clarence Dar-
row, the worlds greatest defender,
is dead at the age of So He is known
to most people for his amazing sue
cess as a defender in court of men
accused of murder--he defended 60
persons against this charge, won ac-
quittals for AZ and kept the other 13
from the death penalty. But his real
work and service in life was as the
champion Of labor and the invariable
friend of the under dog.
His first stand for labor was taken
at heavy cost to himself. He was
general counsel for the Chicago &
Northwestern railway when the great
American Railway Union strike came
in 1894 Darrow found that his
sympathies were entirely with the
men, and he resigned a post from
which he could have climbed and he
knew ito any levels of corporation
practice. He resigned and went into
court without fee to defend Gene
Debs.
Fought Labor Iniunctions
That was characteristic. DarroW
felt convinced, after his best efforts
for Debs had procured six months
jail sentence, that labor injunctions
are utterly intolerable, and that con-
spiracy indictments in labor disputes
are threat to the liberty of every
man. He never varied from that
faith.
In two Of his great cases, he per-
suaded his clients to plead guilty,
and confined his efforts to saving
them from the death sentence-which
he abhorred. One was the Mcnamara
dynamiting case in Los Angeles, de
Tended without pay. He was charged
with attempting to bribe a prospective
Juror and was acquitted on the tes-
timony of Lincoln Steffens; but came
out stone broke.
Defended Haywood
Shortly after he received the tel
egram from Frederick d. Gardner
later governor of Missouri:

but fought successfully against the
death penalty.
In the famous Meyer Haywood
Pettibone case trial of 1907 Dalrow
jumped to the peak Of national fame
by dis defense of William p. ("Big
Bill") Haywood, Charles II. Meyer
and George Pettibone, officials of the
Western Federation Of Miners, ac-
cused Of plotting the bomb assassi-

acquittal for Haywood and the others
were released.
lie represented the miners in the
arbitration proceedings which ended
the great anthracite strike in 1902
the scenes Of i ,05S of these cases and
80 Of the fatalities.
The growth Of motorized transpor-
tation in industry is shown by the fact
that in 1926 only 8, Gel claims from
this cause were filed, including 127
fatalities, as compared with 1920
claims and 756 fatalities in 1897.
With occasional slight changes in
their relative order, the six principal
causes Of industrial accidents have
remained the same during more than
ia decade, Superintendent Kearns
stated.
