B—20 LOCOMOTIVE CREW BEATEN BY WOMEN Strike Sympathizers Attack Men in Louisiana—Wreck Is Probed. BY the Assoclated Press. SHREVEPORT, La., November 10.— ‘Woman strike sympathizers beat a lo- comotive crew on the Louisiana & Arkansas Railroad at Minden, la., while officials investigated a fatal col- lision of two freight trains further up the line. The wreck, which killed four men early yesterday, was not blamed on strikers, Sheriff O. H. Haynes of Webster Parish reported about a score of men and women clambered aboard an en- gine at the south end of the Minden yards last night and severely beat En- gineer H. E. Cole and Fireman C. H. ‘Walters. Their clothing was torn in the melee. “It was dark and everything was done before we arrived,” the sherift said. Locomotives Crash Head-on. ‘The collision occurred on the Vidalia branch line near Grant, La., yesterday. Two locomotives crashed head-on, 10 of their wooden box cars piling up in ‘wreckage. L. & A. officials said one of the trains overran a stop order. ‘Three other trainmen have died in train wrecks and an ambushing since transportation workers went on strike September 19 for higher wages and better working conditions. Railroad officials attributed the sporadic out- bursts to “agitators.” Several bridges have been burned and other lesser violence reported. Women Active in Strike. ‘Women have been especially active in violent support of the strike. Their raids on trains included one at Jones- ville, La., when they held up a freight train for several hours while attempt- ing to force the resignation of the train crew. A railroad official who objected was stripped and chased away. Later a passenger train was besieged and held up for several hours by men and women. Gov. Richard W. Leche has invited representatives of the L. & A. and the striking railroad brotherhoods to meet with him at Baton Rouge this week in an effort to settle the controversy, Miss Stein, Irving Lean Give Recital ‘t‘(‘ung Pianist and Violinist Praised By Reviewer. BY ALICE EVERSMAN. N AMBITIOUS program Wwas given last evening by Irving Lean, violinist, and Thelma Stein, pianist, at Wardman Park Theater, in which the young mu- sicians showed maturity of develop- ment and scholarly preparation. Mr. Lean had his first instruction in this city, coming at present from study in New York, and Miss Stein from con- cert appearances throughout the East. In the numbers which were played there was no concession to the enter- taining variety, but rather a serious- ness and earnestness of purpose to be highly commended. They bore the evidence of thorough study and of assimilation to the extent that both musicians had something personal to put into their interpretations. Many things they will undoubtedly want to do differently when their experience has widened and their concept broad- ened. But last night's recital showed above all an excellent foundation on which to build greater success. Miss Stein, whose solo numbers in- cluded Beethoven's “32 Variations in C Minor,” Chopin’s “Nocturne in F Sharp Major” and “Fantasie Im- promptu” and Lecuona’s “Malaguena,” is a pianist with a sensitive touch, solid technique and delicate feeling. There ‘was a mellowness in her playing that made up for some exaggerations in phrasing and her good taste was gen- erally predominant. For such an ex- cellent soloist, she was also a sympa- thetic accompanist, able to subdue her personality to the right degree, yet giving Mr. Lean all the assistance pos- sible in interpreting. For his violinistic equipment, Mr. Lean has a large tone, strong and agile fingers and a sturdy bow arm. ‘The major work programmed for him, Wieniawski’s “Concerto No. 2 in D Minor,” was easily within his powers, and barring a leaning toward undue haste and not a sufficient underlining of the graceful character of the work, & splendid medium to exhibit his mu- sical standard. It is unfortunate, how- ever, that Mr. Lean is not more care- ful with his intonation, A lapse due to nervousness is understandable, but Mr. Lean’s fault seems more a lack of watchfulness through the hours of practice. When this defect is rem- edied, the natural beauty of his tone, which last evening was sometimes roughened, will prevail. In the cadenza of Kreisler's “Praeludium and Allegro” he was again inclined to too much rapidity, but the opening measures were given with dignity and virility Kreisler’s “Paraphrase on Paderewski Minuet” was splendidly played, as ‘was also the brillians “Allegro,” by The young artists had a friendly and welcoming audience, eager for many encores. Such promising talent is & pleasure to hear and can be de- veloped to a point where no criticism ‘will be necessary. success of last night's concert should presage many more of the same kind.
