Those failing to attend the concert
given by the Slavonic Tamburitza Or
chestra of Duquesne University at the
Washington auditorium on Thursday
evening, missed one of the musical
events of the year.
The feature very much enjoyed by
the large audience that greeted the ap-
pearance of the orchestra in this city
was the Introductory talk by Manager
Pierce in which he cited the history of
the tamburitza and his remarks intro
ducing the several numbers on the pro-
gram.
Manager Pierce, in addition to giving
the history of the very melodious in
struments composing the orchestra, told
of the introduction of tamburitza music
in this country and gave Malta L.
Gouze, professor of Slavic music at the
Duquesne University of Pittsburgh, Pa,
credit for having organized and brought
to perfection the orchestra appearing
on the stage Thursday evening.
He stated how early in the history,
when Matt Gouze was still prominent
athlete in the Ely schools, the tam
buritza orchestra was organized with a
few members among which was Matt,
his brother, Frank, Nick Kordich and

Following six successes scored by the
Ministries of Boy Scout troop 174 in the

since the last show was given. This
furnished thirty or more players for
the MINISTRIES of Sunday night at the
Washington auditorium.

when the curtain arose and Interlocutor
Paul Yadlosky, serving for Michael j.
Murphy, introduced the members of the
cast. AS curtain raiser, the Johnny

On This
Occasion
A Few Observations on Matters
Material and Immaterial by
the Editor.

A Minneapolis man, 55, a
painting contractor, who
bought and paid for a $525 car
while on relief was sentenced
to $50 days in the workhouse
by unfeeling Judge Guilford.
In sentencing the man the
judge stated "you stole the
money from the taxpayers.
The fellow pleaded guilty to
two counts of obtaining relief
under false pretences inasmuch
as he had steady work while
drawing money from relief. 1t
was felt that there was al
together too much of this
chiseling going on. This fell
low was caught.

firm, told U. S. Chamber of Com

vitation was sincerely extended
by all Of industry and as sincerely
accepted by labor, politicians
would "sit back and laugh" take

and the employer with restrictions

Chamber officials were surprised
at the frank expression of friendli-
ness for labor expressed in Ching's
talk, and cheered enthusiastically.
Ch1ng'S address came at the
same session in which Senator
Edward Burke Cd of Nebraska,
an anti-new dealer, said no friendly
relation between business and
labor could exist under the Ma
tlonal Labor Relations Act. He
blamed the labor board, admins
tering the act, for current bust
ness recession.
Ching, on the other hand. took
the view the Labor Board only
sets the workers and employers in
separate groups, and has no vital
effect on the friendlinesS or nom
friendlineSS of worker employer re-
lationS. He said that was I'D to
the two factors, and that it was
high time they stopped fighting
and got together for their own
good.

asked, that organized labor

to discuss their mutual pro-

they both believe would be for

history repeats itself, it is only

IF industry persists in it's at

irons on organized labor, and Or

the politicians to put more
shackles on industry, some of

selves where neither one of us
