PURELY BEAUTIFUL

1t is entirely probable that had
there been no opus 1872 the world
might have forgotten opus 10.
There is much that is striking and
more that is purely beautiful in
these early quartets. But the ex-
perienced listener Seizes upon
their salient features as so many
shadows cast upon the screen of
time by the great achievements
yet to come.
Some Of these great moments in
expressive art culminate in the A
minor quartet, opus 1872, played
last night. All are concerned with
the triumph of genius over conven-
tion, of personality over formal
ism, with the refashioning of a
noble and logical pattern to serve
o new purpose, with the isolation
and expansion Of an artistic
principle, as the chemist isolateS
elements in the laboratory; except
that these elements are of the
very stuff Of exalted human
experience.
This superb grafton, in which
pure feeling replaces the word but
loses nothing Of its definiteness,
was delivered with such integrity
by the KoliSh group that the
listener forgot them quite and in
their place heard the voice and
contacted the spirit of Beethoven.
There was ample opportunity to
remain aware of the performers
and their many excellences in the
two early quarters.

KOLISH QUARTET

Group Is Heard in First

By WILLIAM NEWMAN

No one who heard the koIlSh
Quartet, of Vienna. begin their
great Beethoven series in the
Coolidge Auditorium Library OF
congress, last night, is talking
today about their left-handed
first violinist or about their
habit to play everything from
memory.
These fortunate listeners are
talking about Beethoven. Well
they may. For this perfect en-
semble group hinted at gradual
revelation of the masters musical
personality that Immediately be-
comes the seasons most impor-
tant and alluring prospect.
The Kolish group are master
program makers. They bracketed
one of the great quartets deriving
from Beethoven'S maturity be-
tween the first and the sixth of
the opus 18. They opposed Beeth-
oven of the year 1900 to Beethoven
of the year 1925 and the contrast
was stimulating.

vision for traffic hazards and Is hours on crowd
ed public thoroughfares used for private trans
portation and pedestrians with all the traffic haz-
ards of unrestricted travel.
1t is truly amazing that an experienced gov
agency rejects existing standards for
modern industrial safety problems and turns to-
the regulations of nearly century ago. Nor do
we have the sort of reprieve afforded by oppor-
tunity to battle the issue through to more equit-
able standard The I. C. c. ruling parallels inter-
national discussion of the hours standard for mo-
tor bus transportation in the June conference of
the |. l.. O. and focuses worldwide attention on
a most reactionary ruling. Embarrassing as all
this is, it is trivial in comparison with the need
less accident hazards against which men, women
and children are unable to protect themselves. A
fatigued driver cannot protect himself or others
passengers, or pedestrians. Labor has petitioned
against putting the regulation into effect and has
asked that a study of fatigue elements be made
before final action is taken.

RAILROADS AND UNIONS
TO CONFER JULY 20 ON
PROPOSED PAY CUTS

Chicago 0LNS).-Representatives
of 1S railroad unions and of the rail-
road management have agreed to con-
fer on the proposed wage cut in this
city on July 20. George M. Harrison,
chairman of the Railway Labor Ex-
ecutives' Association made the an
nouncement. The Pullman Conductors
and the Train Dispatchers are not af-
fected by the proposed cut, and the
Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen is
acting separately. A separte confer
ence with this union will be agreed
on shortly.
Mr.. Harrison pointed out that the
general conference could not be held
until local consultations between men
and managers, and that one-third of
these were still to come.
Brotherhood officials insist that
they will resist any wage cut.

PROBING THE PROFITS ON MILK

Judge Wilkerson of the Federal District Court
of Chicago has issued a subpoena to the Inter-
national Association of Ice Cream Manufacturers,
with headquarters in Washington, D. C. The as
sociaton is to come before investigation by the
Department of Justice, and bring all their records
and correspondence with Al affates. The in
vestigation has been for year, and is expected
to last a good while yet
The chief object of inquiry in milk is the enor-
NOUS increase from farm to city consumer In the
Chicago district, farmers said to get 374 cents
quart for milk, delivered at the railroad or truck
station-and that is more than they get in some
places. The working family in the city pays II
cents; a profit OF 22O per cent. And it might be
added further that several of the insiders of the
milk handling companies draw salaries of from
I$6O,0O0 year, up.
Probe OF such thing cannot be too deep OF
drastic.

WAGES AND HOURS

The return of depression brings new reasons
why we need fair labor standards to put found
alton under business. Otherwise the quicksand
may pull the structure into it. We have reached
a stage of economic and social development so
that we can say human living must be on or above
a prescribed level to be fixed by minimum wage
and maximum hour standards. These assured
minima would constitute the base on which La
Dor would continue it's struggle for betterment.
The Labor Committee of the House of Repre-
sentatives reported substitute measure which
conforms to basic requirements of the American
Federation of Labor in it's simplicity of procedure.
national minimum rate of 25 cents is provided
to be stepped up cents yearly for period of 3
years; al is the maximum weekly hour standard
to be reduced to 40 in two years.
The Secretary of Labor shall after due inves-
various industries to commerce to determine
whether they are nationwide in scope, which are
dependent upon substantial purchase or sale of
goods in commerce, and upon transportation in
commerce, or if their relation to commerce is suf
ciently close and substantial to be industries af
fected by interstate commerce. All so declared
must conform to the Fair Labor Standards Act
The Secretary of Labor may inspect places and
records, question employees and make other inves-
tigation to determine violations of standards.
The courts are to deal with violators of these
standards, those transporting goods made in VIC
ation of standards and persons discriminating
against employees giving information of violations
Labor is Fundamentally supporting this basic
Legislation as protection to workers during de-
preston as safeguard at all times that workers
shall have decent living conditions.

STEEL PROPOSES WAGE CUTS

Officials of the United States Steel Corpora
tion are talking about cutting steel wages.
Robert H. Jackson, then Assistant Attorney
General of the United States, made the statement
that the increase in steel prices was rather more
than three times as much as was required to cover
the increase in steel wages. Since the market fell
off, and steel plants are working at from 25 to
% per cent of capacity, only small steel plant
has cut prices; and that only on one item, and
rather less than per cent.
Steel is one of those controlled industries in
which, though there may be no absolute monopoly
all managers agree on certain things One of these
things is that they will let their plants stay idle
rather than cut prices When merchants find their
goods are going Slow they offer bargains; but not
steel masters, or cement masters, or copper
masters.
1t is to be hoped that the steel workers will
be able to resist the wage cut. 1t is to be hoped
also that the investigation of monopoly which
President Roosevelt has launched finds some bet
ter and more workable method of smashing this
private price fixing than any antitrust law has
been to date.

LABOR RETRENCHMENT NOT
ECONOMY
(From "The Week. in Tacoma
Labor Advocate)

(From "The Week." in Tacoma
Labor Advocate)
When such railroad wreck as took
place over Custer creek occurs, with
it's sacrifice of life, it is usually GUS
tomary to attribute it to an act of
God. His shoulders are broad enough
to take the blame. Now such acci-
dents do not take place by God or by
chance or by any fortuitous circum-
stance whatever. They take place be-
cause of mans lack of foresight, in
spection and lack of tireless regard
for human safety.
And most of the roads right now
are inadequately manned for proper
inspection of right of way and regard
for the continuous safety of those who
travel over them.
There is no real economy in labor
retrenchment on the permanent way
or elsewhere.

LIVES AT STAKE

From all states come reports of delayed checks
for unemployment benefits, irregular payments

ployed that the Legislation is intended to emin-

cannot endure additional uncertainty. While we
appreciate the difficulties of putting into effect
any new major legislation, we are more concern
ed for the difficulties of human beings forced to-
live without incomes. A legal right is involved
and administration must be timely as we'll as in
accordance with legal provisions If the legal pro-
vision prevents prompt and effective action, there
is need for the adjustment of whatever interiors.
Social security legislation endeavors to provide
as the right of wage-earners income that will tide
them over during periods when they are unable
to earn living. Wage-earners incomes are gen
orally too small to provide necessaries to say moth
ing of assuring savings for emergencies. When a
wage Garner loses his job he faces economic diff
culties at once. Our unemployment compensation
laws quite unmindful of this fact for they pro-
vide waiting periods of two, three and four weeks.
And even these weeks of waiting do not produce
compensation but they lead to still another week
during which the unfortunate worker, if he still
does not get work, becomes eligible for compen-
sation which may be Forthcoming in the next week.
How many persons have found the waiting period

Unemployment compensation checks mean

said too often they legal rights and entail
prompt administration as an nseparable element
of this right If our administration technique and
formulas are too complicated to permit speedy and
effective administration, they defeat justice which
is the objective of the law.
There is ample experience in other countries
with social security legislation and it's admins
tration to demonstrate that administration can be
efficient with a maximum waiting time of one
week We believe that the unemployed should not
be required to conform to longer period which
inllicts needless misery and work.
Labor realizes the difficulties involved in ad-
mlnistering social security from the aspect of in
experience and size of undertaking but we believe
that some of the difficulties are inherent in the
complexities Of the laws themselves as well as in
personnel We question also whether checks for
amounts less than relief allowances and delays
that overtax endurance constitute social security

A REACTIONARY STANDARD

1t seems hardly credtabe that governmental
agency should give official sanction to a maximum
work week of 60 hours and maximum work day
of Is hours. Yet such was a ruling of the |. c..
c. for the hundreds of thousands of motor drivers
employed in the trucking and motor bus indus
tries. These new industries have had phenome-
nal growth taking from the loads Of other carriers
and creating a serious safety problem on our high
ways and city streets. In the public interests and
for the protection Of those responsible for trans
porting passengers and commodities on our high
ways, federal regulation was the logical procedure
Rather than create a new agency to deal with the
field it seemed logical that the |. G. c. with
its wealth of judicial experience should take care
of this supplementary field.
Amazing as it is, the l. c. c. with background
of twenty years with the S-hour day standard of
railroads seriously declared that maximum of &C
