The congress, taking into considera- tion Djunaid Kahn’s repentance, de- cided to amnesty him, despite all the wrong he had done to his country. An amnesty was also granted to those Turkomen farmers and petty land- lords who had emigrated to Persia and Afghanistan during the years of civil war: they are to be allowed to come back to their homes within six months. * : : Philadelphia Fruit and Grocery Clerks : naea (OPS * in Unionizing Drive PHILADELPHIA—The Fruit and Grocery Clerks’ Union of Philadelphia has launched an organization cam- paign that will definitely establish this organization as a vital factor in the food industry.

Soviet Russian Music Gives Tense Moments to Symphony Audience By ALFRED*V.°FRANKENSTEIN. “Tlya Mourometz,” the third sym- phony of Reinhold Moritzovich Gliere, who teaches composition at the Sov- iet music sch ,4n Moscow, took up most of the pr ram of the Chicago symphony orchestra at Orchestra Hall last Friday and. Saturday. To phrase this writer's opinion of the symphony quite mildly it is the greatest piece of music in .symphonic proportions ever conceivéd "in the mind of man, bar none, " | The, work cc its-of four tone pic- tures describing*Sceneés in the Russian epic of Ilya Mourometz, In the story of Ilya everythifig. is massive, moun- tainous, planet Sized.” And Gliere’s music is also plant sized. At the end of the last mOvement, when Ilya Mourometz is turned from a giant of flesh to a statti&bf stone occurs prob- ably the biggest; "most hair-raising cli- max in music. It is a climax that has the effect on the listener of over- exhausting physical exertion, leaving him weak and trying to recuperate. Great and maryelous as the work is in and for itself, it is also great in its significance in the history of mu- sic, For it seems to the writer that “Ilya Mourometz” represents both the climax and the end of that period of Russian music that can be called the nationalist era. It began with Michael Glinka in the 1840's, it was in its heyday in the eighties when Boro- din and Musorgski and Rimski-Korsa- kov were alive and creating, it ended with Gliere’s third symphony in 1912. True there are members of the nation- alist school still alive, but the two greatest of them, Ippolitov-Ivanov and Glazunov, are pretty old men, and Gla- wunov never really was one of the group anyway. Rimski-Korsakov'’s “Russian Eas- ter” overture opened the program; Jt is the sort of. charming, thing one expects from Korsakov, with some novel*effects in the per- cussion instruments taking a promi- nent place. The program ‘wound up with the customary Easter time excerpts from arsifal,” which, lovely as they are, 'got’ no attention from me because they’ followed too’ close on the heels of the petrification of Ilya. Mr. Stock puts Max Wintrich and his tubular bells up inside of the organ pipes to the left of the stage for this, and when the “Parsifal” music great bell motive, comes thtindering out of the unseen, it always gets the audience. ‘Proving that Frederick Stock is ‘a good showman as well as a superb musician. This was probably the most diffi- cult program of the year for the or- chestra, even taking into account the one on which they played Stravinski’s “Rite of Spring.” They. did it with customary perfection, and it was lis- tened to without a cough, proving that they sold it as well.

The newly organized Shop Nucleus No. 1, Detroit, with only fourteen members is step- ping forward in the DAILY WORKER campaign. At its last meeting the nucleus has ordered 2,000 copies of the May Day edition. Altho the nucleus is recently organized and much handicapped due to the small membership and finance, — it is planning for a large DAILY WORKER campaign, giv- ing an example for other comrades of larger branches to follow. Also made an arrangement in financing the selting of DAILY WORKER, Workers Monthly and other literature at the shop gates, beginning with 100 copies of the DAILY WORKER. Comrades, let us celebrate this May Day with a large edition of the May Day special and make our masters take note that we are here to fight them to the finish. Yours for Communism, PRESS COMMITTEE, NUCLEUS No. 1. ° * At the very time we receive this letter of wonderful work by our comrades in the nucleus, Comrade Alfred E. Goetz, city DAILY WORKER agent, brings further attention to the splendid activities of our comrades in the shop. He writes: “Here ig something that you might enlarge upon in the column. Shop Nucleus No, 1 which was responsible for the DAILY WORKER stickers has started a fund and they are paying a comrade $10 a week to sell the DAILY WORKER in front of their factory. “Altho this nucleus has only 14 members so far they have been very active in ALL party activity but they aim to distinguish them- selves in this May Day distribution. They have pledged themselves to pay for 2,000 ($28) and they are going to distribute at least 5,000. If the rest of the party came across that good we could make it a 50,000 distribution at the very least .. . instead of 20,000 only.” He also tells us in his letter that “Our ambition is that we come out of this campaign with a least 750 new subs.” (Their quota Is 500). 2 With such comrades in ‘his local his ambition is no longer an ambition... * * * * In the Second Annual Sub Campaign Philadelphia Leads Today!

Militia Bands Scab on Musicians’ Union CHICAGO—(FP)— Competition on an unfair basis of the national guard regimental bands with union music- fans willbe an important issue before the annual convention of the Amert- can Federation of Musicians, accord- ing to Secy. BE. A. Benkert of Local 10, Chicago. The convention opens in Niagara Falls, N. Y., for a 6-day session on May 11. “The most obviously unfair factor in the militia bands,” Benkert says, “is that the charge for their music is included by the national guard when it rents out its armories for dances and other occasions, If people engage a union band for their events they get no reduction from the armory man- agement but have to pay the full rent al. The effect is that many people accept the nonunion music because they have to pay for it anyhow.” Surely Get It ivd. Chicago, Ill, - for .. copies of the ‘
