HE first of this season’s mu- sicales sponsored by Mrs Lawrence Townsend took place yesterday morning at the Mayflower Hotel before a large and much pleased audience The artists for this occasion contrib- uted a notable vocal program, both Mile. Yvonne Gall and Edward Johnson ap- pearing in splendid _voice Mile. Gall, fncidentally. was making her formal bow to Washington. An artist who has won great renown in France, and re- cently toured with great suc- cess in this country, she proved herself a thorough m u- sician and an extraordinari 1 y apt one. While her voice is not by any means great it has what is often so much more important and what might be called charm.” The manner with which she delivered her songs was so gracious, so expert and 50 pleasing that she gave the impression of hav- ich perhaps she didn't While at first she gave evi- dence of a certain metallic quality in the Duparc and Faure songs and “L'air des Bijoux" from “Faust,” when Chansons Populaires Grecques,” by Maurice Ravel, and Depuis le aria, from e voice was unexpectediy he middle range arm and less nasal than is some- nes the way with many French singers Edward Johnson, He gram was full of familiar lMar French music, which she handled with inimitable grace It was perhaps a relief being spared from the superrantings of many current_sopranos, and to find that Mlle. Gall prefers her songs soft and brief. She is unquestionably the best “‘salon” singer that Washington has heard in the past two or three Her operatic duets with nson were admirably sung no s ng to outdo each other— but it seemed as if her on account of the hour of the morning, or the style of the singer, or the fact that her voice at that moment struck its complete best, the songs written by ed her to the limit— just as she sang them to the limit. Mr. Johnson was in his customary expert form, After the tumult of applause _which followed the Piz- zetti “I_Pastor,” he mentioned the fact of Pizzetti’s growing importance as also his great friendship for him—as also that he had introduced many of his songs in this country— as also—well—he said “Remember— that’s the guy Johnson told you about”—which seemed to please the ladies immensely, His program was varied—the Haendel “Rendi 'l Sereno seasons Mr. J Wobpwarp & LLoTHROP -— —The Christmas Stose — > .

Chicago, Salt Lake City and Las Vegas | - JOINTO AID TRADE LABOR AND MILLS Hosiery Unionization Plan Puts Plants on Full Time, Director Says. By the Associated Press PHILADELPHIA, December 3.—A new plan in which labor and capital jointly seek to unionize the $300,000,- 000 full-fashioned hosiery industry and in which labor seeks exemption for its employes from the anti-trust laws was explained today by John W. Edel- man, research director of the hosiery union The plan has been in operation two months. The union workers have vol- untarily accepted wage reductions of about 50 per cent, Mr. Edelman sald, and the union mills have cut prices about 20 per cent to meet competition Plants Working Full Time. He said the plan has brought about unionization of 45 per cent of the in- dustry’s 300 plants, whereas but 30 pe cent were organized wo months ago. Virtually all union plants are now working full time In some instances, they were operat ing as low as 20 per cent of capacity before the plan took effect Other industries, likewise troubled by surplus and non-profit production, have begun to inquire into the plan, which its adherents think, may point the wa | not. only to elimination of labor troubles, | but to busiess stabilization—with labor taking the initiative—and without in fringing on anti-trust laws. Independents Doubt Success. “On the basis of lower prices made possible by wage slashes,” Mr. Edelman said, “we hope to drive the non-unior mills either out of the market or into, t) he_union. | "It the plan is successful it will make | the union powerful enough to limit the hours of labor, thus reducing output {and’ sutomatically ralsing prices, with | the ultimate objective of re-establish- | ing higher wage scales and reasonable | profit margins.” Representatives of the independent hosiery mills doubt the ultimate suc- cess of the hosiery plan, claiming that | mills which have unionized are unim- portant, and that since the plan is to last only one year it can not become universally effective Marriage Licenses .
