GOVERNMENT HITS AT
FOREIGN-BACkED
STRIKES

Monday of this week, after
two days warning, the federal
government took over one OF
the largest aircraft factories in
America which had been tied up
for several weeks by strike.
Suspicion had pong pointed to
the strike being the work of
either German or Russian be-
hind-the-scene work. When the
army took over the plant and
officers investigated matters, it
became very evident that the
labor trouble" was more of a
reasonable undertaking than a
bona fide strike. The army very
promptly acted and moved all
picket lines a mile from the
plant without the least hesita-
ton.
A large number of employees
| who had been deluded into the
idea they were striking for more
pay and no other reason realiz-
ed with shock just what they
had done, and the very business
like conduct of the army indicat-
ed, with startling clarity, what
Unce Sam thought and was
going to do about it.
1t is a lamentable fact that

for man actually to work that
many hours. Dining car workers
on railroad trans do not sta il
one place. They are constantly
on trains speeding from one
city to another. In many cases
after they have completed a trip
in one direction, there may be
no more work for them so they
must, travel back home on their
own time without any pay. This
arrangement rs Itess expensive
for the railroads who do not like
to pay regular salaries
The Workers Union, known
as Local $40 Rining Car En-
ployes, AFL, has been unsuccess-
full in it's efforts to negotiate
with the New York Central. An
appeal made several weeks ago
TO the National Mediation board
has not been answerer. The de-
ulands of the union are as fol-
lows: ....
i. 1t wants the basic month to
be about 200 hours, not 24O.
2. On this basis it wants time
and a half for overtime work
3. 1t wants vacations with
pay (Which railroads have never
giyen.)
a. When employees have tc
ride around in bunk cars" tc
get to. the place from which their
train job starts, the union wants
that time paid for.
Sleeping car porters have
gotten some concessions in their
new agreement, but the dining
car workers have received nc
consideration whatever. 1t is the
general opinion that unless the
mediation board or the railroad
does something definite about
the situation in short order, the
union will inevitably vote on a
strike.

NOTES OF DISSENSION
BY DR.. Emmett ]. Scott

BY DR.. Emmett ]. Scott
President Roosevelt's Pro-
clamation of an unlimited ma
tiOna emergency, as was expect
ed, has provoked nationwide,
worldwide comment. These COM
ments have run the gamut of
domestic and international dis
cussion-from sycophantish, self
serving over-praise to derisive
scorn and some unfair criti-
cism.
Each sentence, each para
graph, of the Proclamation and
of the PRESIDENTS radio address
has been subjected to closest
analysis and scrutiny.
Unhappily, the unity of pur-
pose the Presidents speech was
designed to promote and effect
has not been brought about.
Hard and fast cleavages in pub
lie opinion are being established
accordingly, it seems, to ones
reasoned judgment, ones pre-

the other of the warning belli-
gerents.

On important national holidays pa
triOtic citizens throughout the coun-
try like to display the American flag
as outward evidence Of their loyalty
toward their nation.
On days like these, being familiar
with proper flag etiquette is valuable
and important. For rather definite
and well-defned courtesies toward
the national banner have been de-
velOped in military and civilian
practice of flag display.
Most people realize in a general
way that good care should be given
the flag and its use as a common
piece of cloth should be avoided.
But sometimes lacking is the knOwl-
edge of more specific rules regard
ing its display.
Compiled here are a few rules Of
flag etiquette for the display and
use of "Old Glory"
q When the flag is displayed on a
wall, the stars should be toward the
left with the stripes floating to the
right.
q When hanging with the stripes
in a vertical position, the stars
should always appear in the upper
left hand corner.
q On parade, the American flag al
ways claims the place of honor-at
the right.

Werrenrath
ScOresi in
Danish SONGS
Gertrude Lyons
Also Heard
In Concert
By ALICE EVERSMAN.

After an absence of several years
from the concert halls of this city,
Reinald Werrenrath, well-known
baritone, was heard in recital last
evening at Pierce Hall. Assisting
Mr.. Werrenrath was Gertrude
Lyons, soprano, who has been close
" identified with the local music
life in various other prominent
capacities besides that of singer
and teacher. For this somewhat
gala occasion last evening, the
stage of Pierce Hall was profusely
decorated with palms and flowers,
giving a festive atmosphere to the
recital and relieving the rather bar
rem aspect of the hall to con-
siderable degree.
Mr.. Werrenrath opened his pro-
gram with group OF songs by
Danish composers. Mindful of the
fact that much of their mean
ing would be lost because sung in a
language as little understood as
Danish, he explained the text and
gave a free translation of it. The
effect of this impromptu talk was to
bring audience and singer in in
slant rapport, besides contributing
greatly to the enjoyment Of the
numbers.
Guided by a keen artistic sense,
Mr.. Werrenrath interpreted the
songs with fine effect. His voice
is robust and ringing with an in
dividual quality in pianissimo pas
sages. When striving for volume
and dramatic climaxes, the velvet
ness of timbre was sacrificed and
the tone placement unstabilized to
some degree. This was evident
again in the "Credo" from Verdis
"Otello," which was not we'll suited
to Mr.. Werrenrath's voice nor to
his style. The operatic manner
does not come naturally to him
while in the matter of song pres
entation he is mastery.

Conrad Veidt is TO die in the

moment is alive in white wig
and has a fascinating smile. Mr..
Veidt, who left Germany in 1881, is
a British citizen and can't decide
whether he likes Hollywood. I've
been too busy to notice it. he says.
His last film chore was with Joan
Crawford in "A Woman's Face"
"She is consumed with r burning
fire of ambition" is the way he de-
scribes Joan-whom he admires.
Before leaving the set ask nirec-
tor Gregory Ratoff, How is The pic
ture going?"
There is only one word to de-
scribe it, says Ratoff. "Sansa-

Civic Theater Has
Meeting Tonight

Plans for the Washington Civic
Theater's next season will be out
lined by Director Leon Askin to-
night at o'clock at the annual
meeting of the membership, to be
held at the theater's headquarters,
2020 Massachusetts avenue.
Mr.. Askin has spent the past two
weeks in New York, contracting play
writes and producers in his pre-
liminary efforts to line up Broad
way successes which have not been
presented in Washington before.
There also is a possibility, he re-
ports, that the group may be able
to obtain an original play or two
not yet seen on Broadway.
