Arrangements for Washington's second Music week, to be held from May 28 to June 3, 1922, with the ob- Jective of being the greatest event | of art ever staged in an American | clity, were announced today. Robert Lawrence, general organ- fzer of Washington's first Music week, which had its climax last ring in a serenade by local school | | | Ellipse, will be in charge, and the events will be under the auspices of the community center department of | the public schools of the District. Mr. Lawrence Returns Here. Mr. Lawrence returned to this city this week following his organization of a music weck for the entire state of Michigan. After consultations here, he cancelled engagements in three large cities and in one state for similar work, in order to put in the entire time hetween January 1, 1922, and the next Music week on organization wo A comprehensive plan has already been drawn up by Mr. Lawrence which includes the tollowing details Not only a temporary celebration of Music week in this city, but the per- manent organization of Washington as a center for music throughout the country is one of the features. For this purpose five community music centers have been selected where a permanent organization will be esta lished. These centers comprise E. V. Brown School for the Chevy Chase section; the Wilson Normal School for the northwest section, and the Eastern High School for the east- ern section of the city: the Dunbar High School. for colored music en- thusiasts in the city proper and the Birney School for those in Anacostia | and the vicinity. 1 Weekly Program Planned. H At these centers a weekly program will be presented, which, althou will inciude community. singing, will consist mainly in a concert by select- | ed artists. Here also will the propa- | ganda for Washington's second Music Wweek be shaped for presentation to the general public. The plans for the Music week will be discussed and ad- justed at the weekly meetings. It is intended to make the centers the backbone of the permanent organiza- tion for music in the city of Wash- ington. Mr. Lawrence wili be in attendance at the meetings of the centers every week. These meetings, however, are by no means scheduled to monopolize his time. He announced today that he would be at the call of any organi- | zations or groups of citizens desiring information or assistance in any lines where he would be of benefit. Community Concerts. In the initial announcement also is| included a supplementary feature. This consists in the formation of community concerts, separate and | distinct from the estabiished band concerts, in the public parks of shington during the summer. Mr. | Lawrence and Col. Sherrill, officer in charge of public buildings and! rounds, have been in conference re- Zarding this, and the principles of | the plan have been agreed to.

THIEVES CUT MONEY BAG FROM WAIST OF CHINESE Negroes Find Secret Hiding Place of Laundryman’s $200. Boy Steals Rings. Lee Boch Wing, Chinese laundry- man at 1938 4th street, was held up by two colored men in his place of business last night about 10:30 o'clock and robbed of $200. When the men entered the laundry and demanded his money Lee be- lieved that his treasure, secured in a canvas bag fastened about his waist, was safe. But when he refused to comply with the demands of the armed men he was knocked down and the canvas bag quickly cut from the band which held it about his waist. A Masonic ring valued at $10 aiso was taken from the Chinaman. Lee able to furnish the police de- scriptions of the robbers. On her way home from a shopping tour yesterday afternoon Miss Elizabeth S. Dure, 1839 Irving street. was robbed of her handbag contain- ing four rings valued at $1,150 and S8 in cash. She was passing near 16th and Caroline streets, she re- ported, when a colored boy about fifteen’ years old snatched her hand- ag. Miss Dure called for assistance and arted in pursuit of the fleeing boy. A policeman also participated in the pursuit, but the boy succeeded in outdistancing both pursuers and dis- appearing. Mrs. Pauline B. Floyd, 913 M street, was relieved of a handbag while on a shopping tour in a store yesterday afternoon, the bag being taken from her arm. It contained more than $30 in cash, a key to a safe deposit box and a letter. as well as the recognized center for music. “My arrangements will permit that the population of Washingtan may enjoy music, without charge, such as | may be heard at professional con- i certs and in operas where only a limited class may attend. “The ultimate aim is to weld togeth- ler the interest of the various groups of the public into a higher apprecia- ion of music, so that the events trans- piring here may act as the center of a !radiating_movement for the better- went of the popular standards of mu- sic throughout the country. Another point which I wish to em- phasize is the value of music in every- day life. This will be one of the prin- cipal points which T shall erideavor to drive home—not music on special oc- casions only, but every day, even for a half hour or an hour, and its effect on the individual and collective mo- rale of the community.” SPECIAL NOTICES.

CHICAGO, December 1.—Economies in operation and increased efficiency, | cu o™t 0" (o electricians and estimated to reach $50,000,000 a year, and recognition of the “open shop” on all American railroads were fore- casted last night in the promulgation of revised working rules governing railroad shop employes by the United . %! tes Rallroad Labor Board. ‘e new rules become effective to- diy., and take jurisdiction over ap- proximately 400,000 men immediately, although a still larger number wi be affected when the normal traflic conditions are restored. Far-reaching changes in the rules, which supplant the national agree- ment made during federal control, were designed to afford a basis for permanent stability in the rallroad shops of the country, and were de- clared by members of the labor board to be the most important work yet done by the board and of much] greater significance than any. deci- sion in the past, even including wage scale adjustments. Large Economies Expected. Large economies are expected to result from revision of the classifica- tion rules, which were made elastic, and hereafter will permit members of certain crafts to do minor jobs previously done by members of other crafts. Statisticians attached to the labor board estimated that econ omies in operation, increased effic ency and larger output would approx- imate $50,000,000 a year. Provision for the representation of minorities who may have grievances is another important item of the new rules. Under the national agreement, negotiation for employes was placed almost wholly in the hands of labor organizations, with the result that the railroads and many industrial and civic institutions declared that the agreement forced a closed union shop on the roads. Non-union men found it impracticable to attempt to bring their grievances before the board, and, the rules worked out, union offi handled the cases, taking their picc edent from the national agreement negotiations, in which union officials acted for the employes in drawing up the agreement under federal control. open shop, “The principle of the established by the new rules,” a state- ment by board members said, “will, in fact, be more theoretical than prac- tical at the present time, since a large majority of the railroad shops are unionized and the existing unions are recognized by the board and by the transportation act as representative of the majority. Older Rules Preserved. “Most of the older working rules, sanctioned by the experience of years. are preserved in full effect. Many of the more rigid rules, however, were considerably relaxed in favor of the roads, although the recognized rights of the men are fully protected and the principle of collective bargaining and union recognition is retained, as contemplated by the transportation act.” The rules controversy dates back to May 1, 1920, when the railroads emerged from government control Strenuous objections to the national agreement were made in a hearing which began January 10, 1921. After several months of testimony, the rules were referred back to the indi- vidual roads with instructions to negotiate such new rules as could with their employes to replace the federal government rules. Numerous rules were thus agreed upon on individual roads, but on no road was it possible to draft an en- tire new set. The rules disagreed upon were then sent back to the labor board, and the rules promul- gated today will replace any such rules not agreed upon by the roads and their employes. In any where a rule has been agreed upon by the carrier and its employes, that rule governs, even though the labor board rule may be entirely different. Shop Work Classified. The majority of the changes ef- fected by the new rules is in the classification of the work to be per- Almost formed by the various crafts. without exception, these classifica- tions are made more elastic. Under previous agreements with the shop crafts, including the national agree- ment, it has been the custom to de- fine in detall the various types of work belonging to each craft. The carriers have complained that the national agreement set up in such minute detail the classification of duties_that work not requiring spe- cialized skill in any craft was as- signed exclusively to a particular craft. For example, work not re- quiring a mechanic’s skill was a signed to a skilled mechanle, thus making eficient and economical op- eration impossible, according to the railroads. The rules effective today broaden the scope of each craft's work. The machinist working on running re- pairs may connect or disconnect any PLAN 50 MILLION SAVING UNDER RAIL ECONOMIES Railroad Labor Board Members Announce more | they | case ! in Shop Rules for wiring, coupling or pipe connections necessary to repair machinery or equipment. This work was previ- sheet metal workers only. Under the new rules, engineers, fire- men and cranesmen are not prohib- ited from making such repairs to equipment on the lines of the road as they are qualified to perform. The new rules thus allow train opera- tives to perform repair work even though it is ordinarily considered shop mechanics’ work. The_classification of the work of the sheet metal workers, electrical workers and car men has been changed to allow some of the work previously performed by them exclu- sively to be done by their helpers and to mechanics in other crafts where! the needs of the service require it. New Frelght Car Rule. Another important change affecting car men is that which allows com-! mon laborers to dismantle wooden freight cars hereafter. Under the national agreement only qualified car- | | penters were allowed to do this work. About 68 per cent of the country's: jfreight cars are bullt of wood. The! new rule will permit employes get-| ting $3. to $5 a day to do work]| previously required to be done by car men receiving $5.84 a day. An entirely new rule promulgated {by the board for the first time cre- jates a new type of apprentice, to be| { known as “special apprentice.” Regu- lar apprentices are youths entering: the service between the ages of six-| teen and twenty-one years and serv- ing four years' apprenticeship, and helper apprentices are those appren- tices selected from the ranks of the| helpers. Special apprentices are to' be selected from young men between, the ages of eighteen and twenty-six who have had a technical school edu- cation, and they will be required to serve only three vears' apprentice- ship before becoming journeymen mechan Many of the rules are highly tech- nical in character. Much time was| spent the rules regarding elec {trical railroads, which at present ap ply only to a few roads, like the, Penn. nia_and New York Central, | but which will become of increasing importance as the electrification of the steam lines proceed: Unionx Taking Part. The six shop crafts employes in- volved are the carmen, sheet metal v\nrkl rs, machin blacksmiths, | bhoilermakers and electrical workers. They were represented at the rules hearing by the Tollowing organiza- tions: Brotherhood Railway Carmen of America, International Alliance of Amaigamated Sheet Metal Workers, International Association of Machin- ists. International Brotherhood of Blacksmiths, Drop Forgers and Help- ers. International Brotherhood of Boilermakers, Iron Ship Builders and Helpers of America, and the Interna- tional Brotherho f Electrical Workers. All these are affiliated with the American Federation of Labor @nd are enrolled in the railway em- iployes' department of that organiza- tion.

In two previous decisions the board mainly concerning overtime pay. To- day’s decision practically completes the rules for these crafts. The ruling opens the way for the | railroads to ask for lower wages for the shoe crafts employes, the Labor Board having announced that it would consider no further wage reductions for any class of employes until work- ing rules for that class have been disposed of. The rules were passed unanimously by the board, including the vote of A. O. Wharton of the labor group, who cast a dissenting vote upon the last wage cut. Mme.
