National Symphony Plays
Last Concert of Season
Tschaikowsky's Sixth, and Boris
Godounov' Excerpts Played to
Loudly Appreciative Audience

cerity and emotion In every note of
the first movement. The pauses
which DR.. Kinder made between
the four parts, intended, perhaps,
to relieve too great a strain upon
the hearers and the musicians alike,
worked against the impression as
a whole, weakening the effect con-
siderably.
The Allegro con grazia" of the
second, taken at a moderate tempo,
was somewhat heavy. Its cheerful
ness and airiness, intended to offset
the sombre impression of the first
part, missed its purpose since the
Interpretation given it rather con-
tinued the already established mood.
The same can be said of the third,
with its martial. triumphant pace.
In the fourth movement. however,
DR.. Kinder re-established the good
impression made by the first. pro-
jecting himself to the fullest in the
tragedy of the final chord.
Study in Contrasts.
The two Russian works offered a
study in contrasts. TSchaikowsky's
music being marked by a strong per-
sonal element. while Moussorgsky's
bears every evidence of national ex-
preston and color. Wrought into
an effective and satisfying whole by
DR.. Kinder, who arranged these ex-
cerptS from Boris GOdounov" for
concert use. this composition never
fails to create picture of old Rus
sia, with its religious worship and
chants, with its thousand church
bells ringing on festive occasions
and its romantic aura.
In this, as in Tschaikowsky's
work, the audience was moved to an
enthusiastic outburst of apprecia-
ton, breaking a precedent by ap-
plauding before the symphony came
to close
"Finlandia," by one of DR.. Kind
ler's favorite composers, and the
excerpts from Wagners greatest love
drama, Tristan and Isolde" shared
alike in the splendid reception
awarded each. Dr.. Kinder, who
seemed more inspired than usual,
added of his own accord. another
favorite, Wagner's ''Traeume," :"

more compositions chosen by popu.
lar request, two of which received 9
100 per cent vote. These were
Tschaikowsky's sixth symphony
known as the "Pathetique. and the
excerpts from Moussorgsky's Boris
Godounov, two mighty Russian
works that brought universal recog-
milton to each composer respectively
and keep adding new laurels to their
interpreters.
The popular preference was
further extended to Sibelius' heroic
symphonic poems, "Finlandia," and
the ...Libestod" from Wagner's Iris
tan and Isolde" two more num-
bers in which the emotional ele-
ment takes precedence above every
thing else.
Planned and nodded in accord
ance with an inner motive, Tschai-
kowsky's "Pathetique," which opened
the program yesterday, still keeps
the public guessing, and after nearly
so years sinces its first performance
remains IAN enigma to all" save

FIathead Lumber,
SaWmiN Workers
Plan Convention

July 30 and 30, the three Lumber
and Sawmill Workers locals in Flat
head county, Local 2773, Kalispell,
2797, Columbia Falls, and 1904,
Somers, will be hosts to the semi
annual meeting of the Inland En-
pire District Council of Lumber and
Sawmill Workers at Carpenters hall
in Kalispell.
This, the first labor convention to
be held in Kalispell in many years,
is expected to attract a crowd of over
five hundred lumber workers from
the fifteen or more locals of Idaho,
Washington and Montana who are
affiliated with the Inland Empire
District Council. Invitations have
also been sent to other Lumber and
Sawmill Workers locals and Carpen-
tiers locals of the Northwest to send
fraternal delegates and visitors. Sew
eral prominent labor leaders have
signified their intention of attending.
Definite plans are expected to be
perfected at this convention to con-
solidate the great gains already made
in organizing the lumber industry
of the Inland Empire and to con
tinue the intensive campaign, espe-
cially in Montana. Organization of
the Lumber and Sawmill Workers
under the A. F. of L., sponsored by
the United Brotherhood of Carpen-
ters and Joiners, has been very sue
cessful during the past two years,
making it advisable to form various
district councils as the work pro-
crosses. It is reported that a district
council of Lumber and Sawmill
Workers for Montana only may be
set up following the Kalsipell con-
vention.
Headlining entertainment features
of the convention will be a large
banquet for all union members and
their wives at Carpenters hall, and
a dance at the Kalispell Community
Club house on Saturday July 10th.
