other reasons. Customarily, con-
tracts for such advertising cover
a term, and the advertiser would
be guilty of breach Of contract
if he were to withdraw his copy
in submission to the coercion Of
the secondary picket line. Next,
the advertiser has no right to de-
eide an issue of labor relations
between the publisher and the
Guild. The U. S. government has
made other arrangements for that,
and the guild, incidentally, has
heartily Endorsed those arrange
mentS.
Again, such withdrawal of reve-
nue. would constitute an abuse of
the power Of the advertiser, which
has often been charged against our
press, and never more angrily
than by the Communists of the
Guild who now try to use the
same weapon. And, finally, if this
boycott were 100 per cent effective
millions of workers engaged in
the production of t. e S e goods
would be thrown out of work for
lack of business. Then we would
have very formidable unrest, away
out of proportion to the original
question of whether a city editor
was impudent to an office boy
in Monroe, La, Or whatever it was.
was.
But I find on the unfair list
eleven American WHISTLES, most
of which sound pretty bad; two
gins, two beers and one scotch,
two salves, two internal medicines
and two kinds of cigarets. It is
a tough list, but a man should
be willing to sacrifice something
for his principles, SO whatever hap
pens in these dispatches until the
struggle is over please remember
that I have been battling on the
moral picket line. 5

CORN OPENS
CONCERT SEASON
Strange Study In
Contrasts In Program At
The High School

Igor CORN, who opened this
years season of the Cooperative
Concert Association at the High
school auditorium last night, pre-
scented a strange study in contrasts.
Thus, noting the edginess of his
performance in the Rossini La
DANA, one trembled a bit to think
what might happen when he came
to Figaro's boastful Largo al fac
totum. Yet when he did arrive at
it further down in the program he
revealed such mastery of the aria
one had to admit it had not been
done so well since Chaliapin.
Again, toward the end, the i'm
pressive sorority with which he
sang of Tschaikovsky's Lonely am
l as Of Old" and his tenderness in
the despondently beautiful "None
but the Lonely Heart" a in
strong contrast with his ribaldly
fascinating singing of a Ukrainian
folksong, "Burlak," which he sand
WICKED between them. 1t was this
tldL 1lldue OIle lllllk WIldI d L d.
staff he could bel"
There were many golden notes
throughout the event. g, and some
brass. Perhaps the acoustics had
something to do with it, but there
was a throatiness at times that
clouded the essential color and i'm
aginative spirit of an otherwise
magnificent performance. In fair
ness. however, it must be said that
in style and phrasing, in shaping
and shading imaginative melodies,
Mr.. CORN exhibited rare express
sive conviction and propulsive vi
tally.
Two Schubert songs-Schnsucht
and Fischerweise - and two by
Brahms-Es traumte mir and o
liebliche Wangen - which formed
his second group were remarkable
for understanding and a limited vol
righteousness of tone that is always
the mark of TECHNICAL attainment,
but lacked somewhat il sympathy
and so lost a bit of the customary
appeal always associated with
Schubert and Brahms at their
best.
Aside from the rollicking per-
lection of the Figaro aria, the high
point of the program came in the
two Tschaikovsky songs. There
true kinship here, a racial
sympathy that seemed almost to
give CORN spiritual contact with
the composer. The two met in
communion. In a way it was like
hearing Paderewski play Chopin.
It must be a dormant spine indeed
that did not feel the thrill of that
meeting of souls.
There were two CORN songs.
''Within My Dreams" and a
shepherds Song" which showed
the singer as a composer of rare
talent and master of a strangely
haunting idium. The balance of
the program was made up of IA
mlllar program selections.
Adolph Baller, who accompanied
the singer, played Chopin's B flat
MINOR Nocturne with lacy beauty
and Moussorgsky's The Great
Gate at Kiev," an excerpt from
p let at an Exhibition"
which, despite MI. Baller's indis-
putable dexterity and the familiar
Moscovite theme of all Moussorg-
sky's compositions, could not avoid
comparison with the equally IA
mlliar five-finger exercises to be
heard in any well conducted con-
servatory and the indiscriminate
banging of a pianos keys by a
precoclous but unframed child. 1t
was an excellent performance of
an unlove1y theme.-J. E. H. l

BY WEsTBROOK PEGLER

NEW YORK, Dec. 16.-The
union picket line is a strong bar
rier, guarded with tangled strands
OF moral barbed wire to reinforce
the h%alf-bricks and tire-irons of
the active patrol. Once, in Wash
ington, when a new movie was
about to present itself and Mrs.
Roosevelt was one of the distin-
guished guests, a picket line was
thrown about the theater, although
neither the producer nor the pro-
prietors of the house were directly
involved in the issue. The issue
was Jim Crow-which, of course,
goes way back and way down
into American life. The purpose
was to make an issue at a con-
spicuous event at the expense of
persons who were no more at fault
than all the rest of us. AS to the
outcome, my memory is not clear,
but I believe it was decided to
relieve Mrs. Roosevelt of embar-
rassment and issue a pass, so to
speak for the First L a and
party.
Duty
I have been thinking that if a
conscientious citizen has a social
duty in this respect he has a duty
also to ascertain the merits of
the dispute and to flout the picket
Line if, in his decision, the union
is in the wrong and the victim is
in the right. Otherwise the good
citizen obviously becomes an ac-
complete in an injustice. Certainly
he is not justified in assuming
that because pickets are parading
in front of a store the wne of
the place are guilty of depressing
the workers. Often strange pickets
have been on patrol, while the
regular employees regularly re.
ported for work, just because the
regular employees refused to join
a union and the employer refused
to coerce them into joining.
This brings me to the subject
OF a secondary picket line which
has been flung about a newspaper
called the News-Star and World of
Monroe, La, by tn American
Newspaper Guild, which, a large
number of its m o intelligent
members insist, is infested with
communists. particularly in the
key political positions, and is fol-
lowing the Communist party line
in It's policies. The News-Star and
World, for all the size of it's name.
is a relatively small paper, but
the outer works of moral barbed
wire encircling it's plant extend,
in depth, to the farthest limits of
the United States, beyond the Ca
madam border to the Arctic and.
of course, throughout the length
and breadth of Soviet Russia.
Inc secondary picket line con-
sists OF a blacklist of goods which
are advertised in the News-Star
and World. All members n al
unions are expected to memorize
this list and boycott these goods.
and the same moral duty is sun
posed to rest on all other. nersons
who sympathize with Unionisn
I have decided, for nv o,r
purposes, that this secondary linz

of the particular issue b~etu,aan

run up its SRO sign when there
still are blocks for sale on the irst
floor. Apparently, the government

take their theater a good deal more
seriously than the folding-money
crowd. 4.

This draft stuff doesn't set

ple We, as a whole don't think
much of it. 1t is contrary 10
our idea of freedom. 1t is con-
trary to our national idealogy
and to our ways of life. In tact
it is repulsive to the American
people to have their young man
hood plucked bodily out OF their
civil life, their homes and their
Jobs. and welded into military
system that is upheld by strict
discipline and snobbery. No am
bilious young man enjoys giving
IN a year of his life-if that was
all of it. He is held in BOND 1or
ten years thereafter. He doesn't
enjoy that. His future plans,
his Job, his home life, his polnI

in order that the nation may be
in a position to defend itself,
ord HE ic the one that is going
to do the defending, possibly
with his life, and the remark
able thing about the whole plan
is that the American people are
responding in a way that only
Americans would. All of this, OF
course, is something that we an
know and we only mention the
matter in order that we may
make a comparison.

in this paper because the Ed,
