ASKING TON, Sept. 10
President Edward A. O'Neal of the
American Farm Bureau Fedora
ton today declared that all efforts
to combat initiation will be futile
unless wages are stabilized with
farm prices and proposed that
farm price ceilings be set at parity,
plus an amount to meet agriculture
wage increases.
In a statement prepared for
presentation before the Senate
banking committee which con-
tinued hearings today on President
Roosevelt's anti-inflation program,
ONeal said that effective price
control is possible only when
wages, which constitute the larg-
est single factor in the cost OF pro-
ductioD of industrial goods, are
brought under control"
CART BEFORE HORSE
Declaring that at is far more
important 10 control wages than IL
is to control farm prices" O'Neal
said that TO stabilize farm prices
and then wages would be like put

because parity is a relative yard
stick-parity itself rises with ris-
ing costs
Meanwhile. the split between
the farm bloc and administration
leaders widened, with indications
that a bitter battle will be waged
in the Senate and House over con-
troll of wages and farm prices.
Senate leaders said that they
could not accept proposals to re-
wise the formula for parity prices
upward through inclusion OF wage
costs. while Senator Prentiss M.
Brown CD of Michigan, in charge
OF the bill in the upper House,
forecast other revisions.

take out provisions for STABILIZE

CALL FARM, LABOR HEADS
The Senate banking committee
today called on agriculture and
labor leaders for testimony on the
presidential program, while the
House banking committee con-
vened TO determine whether II
will report bill without hearings.
Witnesses included President

Upon this occasion a special train
brought from Baltimore number Of the
friends of Manager Albaugh as well as
representatives Of newspapers published
in that city. The total receipts for the
night are said to have been s3,137.
On February 27, 1885, shortly after
the opening of the Grand Opera House,
the National Theater was destroyed by
fire for the fourth time and for a while
this left only Albaugh's and Ford's Opera
House to supply the demand for high
grade performances.
Albaugh's, in addition to being success.
full as theater, proved also to be popu-
lar as a place Of holding conventions.
1t was here that, on September S, 1893,
President Cleveland opened the Pan
American Medical Congress. Previous
to this, other notable gatherings took
place, including the meeting Of the In
ternational Council of Women, March

President Chester A. Arthur occupied

and one long to be remembered by those
privilized to be In attendance at the
initial performance.
Speaking OF this event, The Star Of
November IL has this to say:
The circumstances attending the
opening last evening Of the new opera
house, erected by the Washington Light
Infantry Corps, were most gratifying to
the friends of the corps and satisfactory
to the public. The seating capacity OF
the house, which is about 1000, was fully
tested to accommodate the throngs that
graced this initial performance.
For some time after the hour ap-
pointed for the performance to begin
carriages continued to roll up and dis
charge their loads. The evening cos
TUNES of the ladies, brought out in the
strong glare of the electric lights about
the entrance, gave rise to many admir-
ing comments by an interested crowd
of spectators that lined the pavements
and the opposite side Of the street.
The audience was worthy of the rich
surroundings While evening toilettes
were very general. many elegant street
costumes were noticeable among the
ladies, the occasion being generally recog-
nized as one Of more than usual moment,
both in social and dramatic circles.
The curtain was parted in the middle
shortly after o'clock, and E. B. Hay
stepped to the footights. He was greet
ed with q round Of applause. He then
recited very effectively poetical tnau-
gural address, which was written for

the British destroyed his last letters
home at the time of his death was, they
said, so that "the rebels should not know

He showed them.
He Is no Washington or Jefferson,

Washington was a great general and
Jefferson was genius. All Of our Ma

special gift to his country, and to Us

He Is the young American. He Is the
patron Of all the young Americans who

who have started out along their nfes
