.O'Mahoney had received tip
from Washington that the Pres

WESTINGHOUSE of the
w items which contributed no
especial merriment or happiness
in New Year outlook to the
Roosevelt holidays was his reali-
cation that 16 Democratic COM
mittee chairmen in the House
voted for the. burial OF the wage
hour bill.
The President expressed him
self forcefully and bitterly on
that point. The committee chair
men are additionally part of the
administration leadership, and F.
D. r. felt he had been let down
in a big way. "
Perhaps Mr.. Roosevelt would
have felt even worse if he had
counted them up correctly. Ac-
tually there were "a House COM
mittee cha;rmen who voted for
the motion to recommit the wage
hour-child labor bill, which ad-
ministration forces tried to put
through. Only % Of the House
committee chairmen stood by
the President" on this occasion
when he received his worst con-
gressional licking to date.
1t had been long time since
any majority party in the House
had given such a performance
and Roosevelt's embittered dis
tress has been commensurate
with the significance of the facts.
Eighteen of the baking chair
men were. from southern states
and three from border states.
Only three southern committee
chairmen voted against recon-
initial: Jones of Texas, Agricul-
tlre; Ramspeck of Georgia, Civil
Service, and Hill of Alabama,

WHAT LIES BEHIND TALK OF
MONOPOLY?
(By BRUCE CATION


other era of trust-busting - or at least
talk of trust-busting. Playing monopoly"
seems about to become more popular as a
political game than it ever was as parlor
game.
Perhaps little digging into the theory,
the philosophy, back of the monopoly dis
cussion won't do any harm.
Nobody defends monopoly. Everybody,
capitalist or workman, joins in the cry that
it is wrong Therefore it would seem to
violate something which Americans gen.
orally regard as fundamental.
What is this fundamental idea? The
general thought is very simple: If all goods
are made by individuals who sell them in
free competition with the goods OF any
other individuals aiming at the same mar
ket, the consumer will get the break. He
will get his goods at the lowest possible
prices, because the competition between
sellers will constantly tend to force all
prices down to the lowest point where the
lowest-cost producer can make profit.
That is the theory, and up to now it is
certainly true that it has caused greater
variety and quantity of goods to be dis
tributed here among more people than any
other system in any other country.
Periodically there are great waves of
protest that monopolies have sprung up,
destroying the competitive principle that
IS the heart of our manner Of doing things.
That means simply that one man or one
organization has such complete control
over the making and selling of one article
that he can charge what he likes, right UP
70 the last cent people can pay.
Z That is the theory. But like all theories,
in practice it turns out to have been too
simple. We long ago decided that some
things must be monopolies. The nuisance
Of two competing street-car lines running
down the same street and two competing
telephones on every desk, had to be elimi-
mated
We have never admitted the competi-
tive theory internationally but have always
set up tariffs to keep foreigners from COM
peting in our markets. In many fields we
have removed labor from competition by
setting up closed-shop 'monopolies"' of la
bbr in certain fields; even the U. S. Su-
pfeme Court has said that labor is not a
commodity to be sold to the lowest bidder
Recently we had the NRA, which per-
uftted suspension of competition if certain
other conditions were met Still more re-
Gently we had the Guffey-Vinson law sus-
pending competition in soft coal, and the
Mller-Tydings law permitting price-fxing
by agreement in certain fields. 80 90 's'.
FThe antitrust laws, passed some thirty
years ago to try to keep competition effec-
tive by making combinations in restraint
Of trade" unlawful, have been largely in
effective.
The object of the coming discussion of
monopoly is to find out Just what we want
I'd do in regard to competition, and make
Ia Tvs that will do it.

CIVIC ORCHESTRA
PLEASES With.
FIRST CONCERT.
Program WeII-Chosen
By DR.. HetzeI
By WILLIAM NEWMAN

DR.. Kurt Hetzel and the
Washington Civic Orchestra
opened the season of Summer
Festival performances in the
Sylvan Theater, at the foot Of
the Washington Monument,
last night. They had every
reason to be satisfied with the
reaction of a small but en-
thTsiastic group of admirers.
Ordinarily these events, which
are sponsored by the National
Capital Parks office and the
Community Center Department
Of the D. C. schools, attract vast
audiences to fill the few reserved
seats and the grassy slopes
above. Doubtless because rain
delayed the opening of the
series by "a hours, last nights
gathering was less numerous.
WELL CHOSEN PROGRAM
The program was well chosen
and excellently presented. DR..
Hetzel built it around the bright
and melodiouS second symphony
of Haydn, prefacing this classic
with Goldma rk's effective
"Sakuntala" overture, and fol-
lowing it with briefer and less
complicated compositions of the
type of Grieg's neglected Peer
Gynt" suite.
He has built up a competent
amateur group, one OF the best
of its kind in the country.
Many of these monumental
musicians have been profes-
SIGNALS. These are the older
members of the orchestra who
give it stability. There is a
large and animated youthful
contingent who play with en-
thusiasm.
AMPLIFICATION CORRECTED
They dealt pleasantly with
the Haydn symphony and the
works that came later; and,
judged by previous hearings,
they were equally competent
in the Goldmark overture,
somewhat obscured, on this
occasion, by faulty amplifica-
ton This fault was quickly
adjusted by the operator and
the balance of the concert suf-
fered from no mechanical
shortcomings.

LEADERS SELECT
 MRS. C.B. PERKINS
Hartford Woman Elected at Meeting Here of Girl
 Scout Executives

Girl Scout leaders from every part of the state assembled at Water bury for the annual spring meeting Saturday at the Y. M. c. A. at which officers of the state organization were elected
 Mrs. Clifford B. Perkins, of Hart ford, was reelected chairman of the state organization. Other officers elected were: First vice chairman, Mrs. Franklin Bailey, of Westport; second vice chairman, Mrs. George w. Skilton, of West Hartford; treas urer, Mrs. Earl B. Seelys, of New Haven; recording secretary, Mrs. Robert c. Rice, of New London; corresponding secretary, Mrs. Philip HeweS, of Avon.
 Demonstrations of camping pro- grams were given by several groups, among these the Brownie Pack of All Souls church, under direction of Mrs. Ralph Darlington. Stamford, Meriden, NorWalk and Westport Scouts took part in the program and motion pictures of the silver jubi- lee camp were shown.
 Mrs. Joseph Merritt, of Hartford, spoke on "The Stay at Home Girl" Other speakers were Miss Ruth Stevens, a member of the regional staff of Boston, and Mrs. George E. Cowperthwait, Waterbury Girl Scout commissioner, who gave the address of welcome.
 Lunch was served with 20 Girl Scouts acting as waitresses.

An explanation of the delay in erecting headstones to mark the last resting place of World War veterans buried in local cemeteries has been given. A court battle is be- ing waged over the contract to sup ply the stones.
 State Supervisor of Purchases Ed ward c. Geissler on instructions from Attorney General Charles J. Mclaughlin, has called for bids to be opened April II on a contract to be in force until June 30, 1889. The State Veterans Home commission has an annual appropriation of $40,- 900 for such purposes.
 In local cemeteries veterans graves have been designated by headstones. Applications have been led for many more and local organ izationS have been hoping that the markers would be available before Memorial Day.
 The delay is due to the fact that the McGovern Granite company of Hartford, which has supplied head stones for twenty years, has ap- pealed to the supreme court from the decision of Judge Arthur F. ELS, who ruled that fve-year contract made between the company and the adjutant had been abrogated. For merly the adjutant general had charge of erecting the markers, but the last session of the General As sembly witnessed the establishment of central purchasing system with

in lieu of taxes. The Act provides that 5 per cent of gross receipts from power generated at Wilson Dam and Norris shall go to those states; later dams will pay 1-2 per cent. IVA has spent more than $17000 on project to determine an equitable method of making these payments to states in lieu of taxes. One Sixth Came Back
 In short, IVA figures that of some $12,000,000 it has spent on electri- fication, it has already gotten a net $2,000,000 back, though the IVA is still in the construction stage"
 Future income should be pro- greSsively larger, IVA argues. For example, the $6,874 received for navigation-lock services is mere beginning, and extensive navigation on the Tennessee would produce much more revenue.
 But 1t is beyond dispute that thus far total revenues of the IVA have not paid even interest on the total expenditures of the federal government in the valley.
 Profitable operation, and even amortization of costs properly chargable to power are a fair possibility during the next 20 years. And IVA authorities are fond of pointing out that all IVA opera tions are geared not 20 but 40 and 50 years ahead. The useful life of Norris Dam is estimated at not less than 200 years.
 So once construction and appro- priations are finished, profit point" reached, and gradual amor tization of the debt begun, there is reason to hope that substantial part of the TWAS expenditures will come back. ''''t
 Must Count Intangibles
 But probably never all of them. It is at this point where the "intangi- ble benefits" are adduced. Here IVA advocates bring in the national assets" which they hope will result and which will bring money into the federal treasury only very indi- rectly If at all.
 For example, IVA has spent around $8,000,000 in development of phosphate fertilizers and in learning to make them with elec- tric power. Phosphate rock fer tilizers, which Dr. H. A. Morgan believes hold the future of Amer ican farming and therefore of American civilization, have been too bulky to be widely used, Concen- trates being developed by IVA are expected to widen the use of this vital plant food.
 All such processes being perfect ed in the Tennessee Valley will be available to the Grand Coulee and Bonneville dam areas, near which vast deposits of phosphate rock also lie.

Jews of America Must Rescue Stricken Breth-
 ren in Central Europe

Plea for entire cooperation with the stricken Jews of Central and Eastern Europe and for help in es- tablishment of Jewish common wealth in Palestine was made by Rabbi Moses D. Sheinkopf, speaking last night at the fifth anniversary celebration of the Young Israel or ganization at Waterbury Hebrew h. | stitute. Members of several state Young Israel organizations attend ed.
 The work of the local group was , praised by Rabbi Maurice GiZmond of Temple Israel synagogue, Milton Seligman, president, spoke on the program for the year. Lawrence Matzkin, past president, served as toaStmaster, and was speaker with the following past presidents: Dr. Harry G. Levin, Yale Matzkin, Irv- ing Reiger and Hyman Kastleman. Rabbi Sheinkopf deplored indif- ference to Jews in America and remarked We have great prob- lens to tackle. We have great du- ties to discharge. American JeWry must come to the rescue of our tragically stricken brethren in Gen. tral and Eastern Europe. We must help them in their struggle for self defense--in their fight against the inhumanity of humanity.
 We tell the world that we stand squarely alongside our oppressed brethren making cause with them. We must demonstrate our solidarity with the pioneers of Palestine who are fighting heroically with honor and dignity to keep the doors of the homeland open for the op- pressed Jewry abroad. We must do our utmost to help in the estab- lishment of Jewish commonwealth which will radiate influence all over l the world"
