NEW YORK’S LABOR CODE RATED HIGHEST Only Defects Are Lack of Forty- Eight-Hour Week and Minimum Wage for Women, Says Official. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, June 17.—New York te's labor code is the most pro- Eressive in the country, the delegates 10 the biennial convention of the Na- tional Women's Trade Union League were told yesterday by Bernard L. Shientag, state industrial commis- sioner. There were only two defects in it, h id, the need for a reduction of s and minors' working time to forty-eight hours a week, and the catablishment of a minimum living wage for them. Shientag predicted that such laws would be passed n. He recommended an enlarged or department to include disease accident prevention and free em- yment bureaus. officers of the league were *d as follows: Honorary presi- re.

The brewer is mistaken by the concierge for the Prince of Pilsen, who heads the Ger- man_college students and comes in- cognito to Nice. The widow, chape- ron of the coliege girls, lays plans for the bogus prince; the real nflnee courts the brewer's dau th naval lleutenant wins his Edita Walker, the Vassar girl, and all ends happily after many amusing complications. “The Prince of Pilsen,” as perform- ed by this company, is ideal warm- weather entertainment. B. F. Keith's—Tom Burke. Tom Burke, the Irish tenor, heads a fine program at Keith's this week. A majority of the singers of the repu- tation of Mr. Burke refuse to de- scend from their classical pedestal to vaudeville, and usually, when they do, thelr stay is very short. With the wisdom of & Solomon, the tenor last night placed himself on a level with his audience, singing airs of sweet- ness and popularity, and the encores in response to insistent applause were too numerous to count.. The well known song, “Little Batiste,” sung in the broken French dialect, was one of the best of the evening. The beauty of the air and words and the charm of the singer created much enthusiasm. Another number, the well known “What'll I do?" was rendered quite effectively. Morton and Glass, after a long ab- “April,” that is full of bright lines and comedy. Both pllynrl are fun- makers of the first class, matching wit for wit, with incessant laughter as their reward. Their scenery is unique. Other entertaining pumbers on the program include the sketch of Homer Masen and Marguerite Keeler, which has been done here before, but regis- tered as big a hit through the clean comedy work of the former; Ruby Norton, the little electric spark, who sang her way into the good £ra »( the audience, especially with “Southland”: Hurst and Vogt, in songs and patter, with new ma- terial that scored a big hit; Scanlon, Denno Brothers and Scanlon, who gave un old-fashioned song and dance, but made their hit as a sing- ing quartet. The Three Lordons, on the horizontal bar and bounding plat- form, and Bob Anderson and his pony_ were enthusiastically received. Houses For Sale and Rent J. LEO KOLB Main 5027 923N. Y.
