I By the Associated Press. James A. Emery, counsel for the National Manufacturers' Assoclation, was charged yesterday by Donald R. Richberg, counsel for the organized railroad employes, with “seeking to uphold despotic principles in indus- try.” Replying to Mr. Emery's discussion yesterday of the Watson Parker rail- road labor bill, Mr. Richberg told the Senate interstate commerce commit. tee that the Manufacturers' Assocla- tion counsel had advocated theories of compulsion that were written into laws centuries ago and “which have been gradually written out of the law after centuries of fallure.” “He asked Congress to abandon the intelligence of the twentleth century and return to the wisdom of the Mid- dle Ages,” Mr. Richberg sald. Cites Court Declsion. | “Emery asked that the bill be| amended to give the Interstate Com- merce Commission power to annul wage agreements and arbitration awards,” Mr. Richberg continued. “The Supreme Court of the United States has held that such a power cannot be exercised by public author- ity “He asks that the bill be amended to give a purely investigative board the power to compel testimony. The bill Intends to create a body of pub- lic investigators who may either bring about a settlement of a con- troversy or place the responsibility for failure to settle upon the party in the wrong. “Mr. Emery seeks to convert this useful body into another useless and mischief-making Labor Board.

Eight years of building, froma $500 fund given in 1917 for the production of a grand opera in this city, will reach a climax on January 25 when the Washington Opera Company, . | standing on its own feet, independent of any other opera company, pre- sents an all-American cast in Samson and Delilah. The performance will be clearly indicative of what may be accomplished in the building of a national opera taking in a string of cities with companies such as the ‘Washington Company. The cast will be headed by Mme. * | Louise Homer and Paul Althouse, fa- mous the world over for their operatic and concert work. These two stars will not appear as guest stars loaned by some other company, but as per- formers for tze Washington Opera Company, epzaged independently. The £~ other principal singers in the cast will be 1 Patton, baritone, and e | Charles Trowbridge Tittmann, basso, both known all over the country for their concert and oratorio work. Other “independent” singe The Largest Men’s and Boys’ | National Academy of Opera, for the made their debuts here in La Tosca, and Ivan Ivantzoff. Feodor Chaliapin, who will come here in Don Carlos on April 8 will be another who Is a free lance from an operatic standpoint. These singers, it is hoped, will be the nucleus about which the national opera. plan will center. The plan of Mr. Alblon, which has | had much influential backing, is two. | fold. It proposes first & string of local companies, such as the Washington, which will prepare the chorus work in the various operas to be sung during @ season. For the principals, the Na- tional Opera Co. will engage singers for a season, sending them out to each of the smaller companies as its turn comes. Scenery and'costumes will be supplted from the stocks of the Na tional Association. In this way, It is hoped, opera may be produced at o minimum cost because of the great reduction In overhead in sending a large orchestra and chorus with the principals. The second step in the plan is the training of young students in operatic work. The academy was establish- ed last Fall at the time of the an- nouncement of a gift of $10, Arthur Jordan for the work. s Zlatin, a former professor of grand opera in the Moscow Conservatory, was brought by Mr. Alblon here for the purpose of acting as director of | the academ: . | It_is belleved by the steady progress made in the past two or three years warrants the com- pany in standing upon its fee The all-American cast in *s and Delilah” wiil mark the f 00 by | the backers of [ the Washington Opera Company that | r solutely independent effort ASK THE MAN ONE, a WHO OWNS The Packard Six— Sound Investment Not every car is an investment. Short-lived,yearlymodel carsarereallyanextrava- gance. On such cars the depreciation charge per mile frequently exceeds the cost of operation! You can prove it in five minutes with paper and pencil Buying a succession of cars on a time payment plan is very poor business. In addition to the heavy depreciation charge, you pay too many war taxes, freight charges, profits and commissions. But those who buy a Packard Six on the pay- ment plan are making a sound investment. In a year they pay for a car which can serve them well and with distinction for ten times that long if they please. Thousands are taking advantage of Packard's business-like monthly payment plan. And on the average intend to keep their new cars two or three times as long as those they traded in. These owners know they are protected by Packard’s long standing policy of noyearly models and by the new improvements which double the life of Packard cars. Packard Washington Motor Car Company Q.
