LABOR COUNCIL FINDS AWARDS SATISFACTORY

Attitude of Manufacturers Will Determine Fate of Recommendations. An entirely optimistic atmosphere pervaded Central Labor Council Thursday night concerning the awards made by the war labor board. The awards were discussed and viewed from all sides and members of the council and organizers who are in Richmond expressed a favorable opinion toward the situation in Richmond. However, they urged more interest and action in the Central Labor body. Paul J. Smith of the American Federation of Labor, said last night that he was disappointed In again coming into the Central Labor Council and finding the body in a state of procrastination and apathy. "I am not going to say what I think of the awards," said Smith. "I believe that the manufacturers in Richmond have seen that the industrial conditions in the country have so changed that there is no way around collective bargaining. There may be some who will fight to the last ditch. In i that case you should prepare. HowI ever, you do not want to make the worthy manufacturer sutler. I wish that we might start immediately to settle this problem at a conference table at which every organization and manufacturer might be represented. Should Comply with Decisions. "if the manutacturers of Richmond are willing to do anything at all they ought to be willing to comply with the decisions of the war labor board. If they are not, then they will never do anything and you will continue to work under the old autocratic management of industry. "There itt, however, a very good aspect to the situation. The general public 1.) wilting to back the labor movement in bringing about this decision. The ministerial association is with the labor movement so far as these recommendations go. The press of the city of Richmond is with the working people so far as this decibion goes. There are a number of manufacturers that are willing to coinply with tiiis decision. Mue only thing now that is left to solve is just how we shall go about to get these decisions that nave been given us. If they do nothing else they establish collective bargaining. "Borne factories here have 100 percent organization, borne have dropped out of organization. Some are waiting to see whether or not the awards will be put into effect. Our fclBgeat task is to make tho fellows seo their mistake in dropping from the organisation. If we had the right organisation it would not be necessary to hold conferences. The employers know the situation as well aa W9 do. They know our strength and our weaknesses. Must Set Workers Riant.

"You must go out among the workers and set them right. You must begin to look forward from now on to the selection of a committee for each and every plant. The selection of this committee will depend more or less upon the decision of the War Labor Board being put into .effect. Radicals are alright in their place but the men to carry this decision out to a successful conclusion should be conservative and fair minded, but firm. They must be men whom the employers and the general public can have confidence In. If they know ahead what kind of a committee they have to deal with they would feel more kindly and would not hesitate to give collective bargaining. Each organizstlon should select a committee in each shop. You want equal representation and if necessary you want to bo able to go before the public of Richmond ready to stand the most acid test. The most important thing is to select the right kind of men. "I expect to hear by Monday or Tuesday something definite from the other side. Wo do not want strikes or disturbances of any kind. We want to maintain a harmonious position from tho start. We want to keep within bounds. Yet we want to be prepared to look out for the welfare of the working people. We want to find a peaceful and harmonious solution to the problem. We want to put the decision of the war labor board into effect. "We will know in a few days whether we can bp peaceful, whether we can havp collective larga'ning and wage commissions or whether we will fight Some Oppose Decisions. "The representatives here plan to take In every organization. We must

wait a few days to find out where we are. Some manufacturers in Richmond are willing to try out collective bargaining. Others are opposed. If they are not willing to give you that, they are not willing to do anything for the great service you have rendered them during the last few months." Talks were made by Roy Steele, John Putterbaugh, Lucius Harrison, Robert Graham, all members of the General Labor Council; R. L. Corley. of the machinists, James G. Quinn, of the Hatters' association, and Adolph Fritz of the Indiana Federation of Labor. Tho members of the central labor council were particularly warned to pay attention to the union label and patronize the union label always. The regular business of the meeting was dispensed with in order to give the members of the council end organizers a chance to talk. The members of the council said they felt the awards of the labor board were the , best that could be got under the circumstances, and that they felt satisfied.

AMERICAN AUDIENCES ROYALTY

Carolina Lazzari, contralto, who . appears in Joint concert with Rudolph Ganz in the Coliseum at 8:15 o'clock tonirht. was officially invited a short time aeo to come to Paris in May and i sing in "Sampson and Delilah," before the republic leaders, crowned heads and fighting men oi the world who will be gathered there then in a grand j peace celebration, for which magniricent plans are being made. "And are you going?" Miss Lazzari was asked this afternoon. "Oh, no, to do that I would have to disappoint so many Americans, and what would be my success in comparison! I simply cannot. I will not break trust with my American engagements," was her answer. Everything is straightforward with Miss Lazzari. She is as gracious as ! she Is beautiful. "Society In the narrow sense kills Individuality, because to succeed, one must not be different," she laughed. "No, society doesn't really interest me. One talks to people, not because there Is anything to say, but simply because there is somebody who has to be talked to. I should rather be alone studying, and perhaps accomplishing someth'S than do that. "I was born of Italian parents, In the state of Massachusetts," she explained. "My father, though an Italian, was reared in France. Although my parents were both extreme lovers of music neither sang or played an instrument. My love for music took aa early start." She paid that one day, when she was about ten years old, she confided to her mother the fact that she should like to have her purchase the family soap at a store where a guitar would ultimately be given as a premium. This was done and she had her guitar, but there was no musical education until after she and her two sisters had returned from their general European education in Milan, Italy, and other countries. Then she studied music in New York which she now calls her permanent home. "I have only been singing publicly for two years," said Miss Lazzari. "My debut was on the 17th of November, 1917. in Chicago. I sang in Glglletta Isabeau." About this she would say no more, but her personal manager I AldlUCU L 1-11 L VdliiyaulUl, uacwwi VI. . tho fVifpatrn 'Driera enmnanv. whpn in! New York during September, 1917. ap-' pointed a day at the Lexington thea-, ter for hearing new voices. "We had been putting Miss Lazzari through a course of absolute study and not one public performance for three years." her manager said. "No one had heard her voice except her teachers. One attractive proposal after another had been rejected be-! cause it was felt that the debut must not be made until she was thoroughly ready, but the war was on and here was a young American witn tnree years of training, and seven and eight hours a day practice, in America and the usual method of progress namely a follow-up European course absolutely cut off. So we let her sing before Mr. Campanini." He offered WOMEN'S WORK IN WAR IS PRAISED The splendid work of Wayne county women during the period of the war and the period following the armistice as reported by the war councils fol-i , ...... lowing the cessation of hostilities, was praised by Mrs. Hugh McGibney, dlrector of the women s work division oi the Kea cross in me state or indiana in a talk before Wayne county workers In the public art gallery this afternoon. A large and interested crowd greeted Mrs. McGibney and Miss Charlotte Cathcart who explained her work as secretary to Lieutenant-Colonel Ed. Clark of Economy, Ind., who was commander of Base Hospital No. 32 in

ctive service in France during tlielce entailed in this decision."

waiv Miss Cathcart said that the work I'one in their hospital would not have been possible if they had not had thei Lin... i a 9 rv rM.LiimauuiLy anu nue oiui ui ul. to follow. Dr. Clark has been awarded a D. S. C, she said. One hundred thousand patients were cared for and the death rate, although 5,700 of these were surgical cases, was only one-tenth of one per cent. Mrs. McGibney explained what the war councils have granted for relief work and the part the Red Cross has played and must yet play. Red Cross sewing and other supply work will be dispensed with for the summer, she announced. EUROPE TO GO BACK TO WARBREAD BASIS (By Associated Press) PARIS, April 25. An increase in the milling percentage which will virtually put the world back to a war bread basis for the next three months is a part of the program adopted by the supreme food council under the chairmanship of Herbert C. Hoover. NEW YORK, April 25. Americans will continue to eat "white bread" restored late last year after months of milling on a victory flour basis despite the return of European countries to a war bread basis, announced by the supreme food council, Julius H. Barnes, president of the food administration grain corporation and federal wheat directors, said today. A survey of w heat stock, Mr. Barnes said, had convinced his department that the American supply was sufficient not only to warrant continued production of all wheat flour, but to meet the export demand until the next harvest. CHICAGO, April 25 Excited jumps J in the price of corn followed announced from Paris that "war Dread wouia be again the rule for Europe. The steepest rise was in the July delivery of corn which soared to $1.70 a bushel an advance of 6 1-4 to 6 3-8 cents over night. Provisions again smashed the high price record. . .. HERE FOR S. A. CAMPAIGN Miss Julia Mason of Indianapolis was in Richmond today In the interests of the Salvation Army relief campaign.

PUT BEFORE BY CHARMING SINGER

her a three-years contract at once, At present Miss Lazzari is engaged by Charles Wagner as his third great star. He is also the manager of John McCormack and Galli Curci. During the last seventy-one days Miss Lazzari has sung In thirty-three concerts. She greatly prefers work to opera. And though she has been asked to sing in Paris grand opera this summer she will return, to America for her concerts next year, and the next and the next. One of her most striking successes was in the part of Pierrotto, a country lad in Linda da Schamouix, with Galli Curci in New York. In the absence of her own pianist, Mr, Nelson, of Chicago, will accompany her tonight. She rested most of the day and will leave immediately after the concert tonight. Mr. Ganz will probably not arrive in the city until a late hour this afternoon.
