TUESDAY, MARCH IS
By EValw Walsh Mclean

There's no use talking, Farley lis finished
politician and hand-shaker, but cannot help
but think Of q recent incident.
When went down to the milk fund ball at
Miami, given by Mrs. Henry'L. Doherty for the
poor little children 50 that they could have milk
our great politician. Mr.. Farley was right in the
hotel, but could not give few minutes to come
to the ball to try and make it success-not
that he would have. but it might have helped.
No indeed. He was too tired and had to have
his rest Farley looks to me like a pretty
strapping, strong man and was Just as tired
that night as he could ever be, but dragged
myself to the ball in hopes 1t might help little.
But our genial hand-shaker failed for once in
his life to appear and back up q good cause.

Musicians Ask Court
To Revoke Union Rule

New York City (ILNS)- Eleven
musicians whose salaries are above
union scales have asked the state su-
preme court to revoke ruling of their
union, an A. F. of l.. affiliate, which
prevents them from holding more than
one job.
The ruling under attack was ap-
proved by the full membership of
Local 802 of the American Fedora
tion of Musicians. Designed to
spread employment among the unions
1900 musicians, it forbids musicians
who make more than $54 week on
one job to hold two jobs simultane-
ously.
The protesting group contended
that the rule materially reduced the
earning capacity of musicians with
valuable artistic abilities"
