[Statï Correspondence]WASHINGTON'. March 'JT. -Now

that the government is paying thelabor bills the National Wage Adjust¬ment Hoar..! of the Shipping Boardßn(J3 itself confronted by a curioussituation. Broadly speaking, it hasnothing to adjust, because employersand employes get together and say,-What do we care how high wagesare? Uncle Sam is footing the cost,and Uncle Sam is a regular old moneybags."The result is that employers and

employes unite in favor of a higherschedule. There is no dispute; conse¬

quently nothing to adjust. To meet

tjjia situation the Adjustment Boardhas had to appoint counsel for the de¬fendant Uncle Sam. In other words,the aid has to conduct independentinvestigations in order to check up theunited demands and block the cheerfulraid en t"1-' Treasury.The only tiling that stands in the

way of an iron clad union between thecompanies and their men is the inher¬ent opposition of most employers to

labor organizations and the dread ofwhat will happen after the war. If

they wi re working hand-in-glove there¡s no telling where wages might go to.The compai that run an open shop..¦,..: 'ration with their men forfear that might be construed intorecognition of the unions. There re¬

sults a curious conflict of interest. Theemployers in some cases readily as-

sent 1.1 the increased wages that UncleSam has to pay, and then they are

slow to install the new schedules, andall sorts of irritations and conflictsensue.

Employers Shy at

Hiring Union MenSo, after al!, though the Adjustment

Board ia enforcing the principles ofthe open shop, labor troubles are

chiefly in the last analysis organiza¬tion troubles. The employers strive toke-:;> their open shops from being dom-

y union men and the unionmen seek to keep the shops from beingoverrun with non-union men. The em¬

ployer- keep away from the organiza¬tion- in the search for men and preferto break in green non-union men totaking skilled union men. They rarely.if ever, go to union headquarters toinquire whether thev have any uneni-

men on their lists.The outcome ia that, as about SO per

ceni >>:' '.lie skilled .'::eii in the tradesth..: shipbuilding expansion would nat¬urally ..ill '.:'. are union men, many

men are out of work. This, ofcourse, ia very exasperating to theunions. They r'eA! that, whatever thetheory, they are m fact being discrim¬inated against. Unable to get employ¬ment f'ir all of their members,- they-¦ ,- vast hordes of men being trained

iployed, and they wonder wheretheir unions an their members will beat th< en ! o' the war when shipbuild-

..¦ dackens."ii..- is a moral situation that the

"nient Board cannot effectivelydta! with. D is one of the labor prob¬lems that, if settled at all, must besettled ir a spirit of understanding andsympathy. It is one of the funda¬mentals''of the whole difference be¬tween labor and capital that it is hopedthe Conference Board will be able tosolve.The Adjustment Board has so many

Gilbert's "The Dance in PlaceCongo" Again Well Re¬ceived at Metropolitan

Henry F. Gilbert's ballet-pantomime,"The Dance in Place Congo," wasrepeated last night at the Metropol¬itan, resu'tir.g in the same success asat its opening performance. As aballet pure and simple it has its limi¬tations, as the music was originallywr.tten as a symphonic poem and lackssomewhat in the terpsichorean possi¬bilities which it might otherwise havehad. But despite this Mr. Bartik hasproduced a performance full of colorand life, ¡ nd Miss Galli has added newlaurels *:o her brows.Mr. Gilbert's music itself is a really:mportant addition to the limited heri¬

tage of Amercan musical literature.It is a score ably constructed, and itsthematic material, interesting in itself,st effectively developed. It Is mu-r'ormed with color and rhythmic

power. It ought to be heard often in.mphon.c concert world.

"The Dance in Place Coniro" wased by Mascagni'« "I,odoletta,"with .Mr. Caruso and Miss Easton inthe chief parts. Mr. Monteux con¬ducted the ballet, and Mr. Moranzonithe opera.

knotty problems to deal with that it isa wonder that it doesn't give up indespair. In the samo district and inthe same city the rates or' wages paidin shipbuilding vary so much that itseems incredible. Some plants havetU'en paying twice as much as others.Of course, it is essential to the stabilityof labor forces that uniform schedulesshall prevail, but the fact that theyhave not prevailed shows how littlemanufacturers have organized tosqueeze their men. Now, if the toprate employer is paying wages that are

exorbitant and inequitable it is diffi¬cult on the one hand to raise wages inother plants to his level and equallydifficult on the other hand to lower hisschedules.This is precisely what happened on

the Pacific Coast, where the AdjustmentBoard found it impossible to establisha general scale as high as the scale ofthe Skinner & Eddy shipyard at Seattle.Its award, therefore, pleased nobody,and the devil was beaten around thestump with a postscript bonus whichwas eventually made a part of thewage.Here is another kind of problem the

board has constantly to face. A com¬mon custom has prevailed of allowingdouble-time pay tor overtime in repairwork shipyards. Recently many of therepair yards have also become buildingyards, but the custom of the latter istime-and-a-half for overtime. Thebuilders naturally think they are en-titled to us much pay as the repairmen for similar work.Insist on SameScale of WagesOne shipyard is practically an iron

I and steel mill as well as a shipyard.Men doing the same kind of work insteel milis liave received a differentrate of pay from men doing the samekind in shipyards. In this plant thetwo groups meet, and, of course, thelower paid insist on the same wages a»their brother craftsmen.Again, it has been found that in some

yards the men are doing so much over¬time and Sunday work that the effecton themselves and the quality of theirwerk is very deleterious. The employ¬ers are doing a kind of work wherein"money cuts no figure." and so theyI are tempted to work their men to thelimit and beyond. The men like thefat pay envelopes the Overtime turnsout. and they unite with the employersin opposing any fixed limit of hours.In fact, the men are opposed to twoand three shifts. The men already onthe payrolls want to do all the workthemselves and get all the money.Cases have been found of men cheer¬fully working forty-eight hours at astretch. In such plants the Adjust¬ment Board is roundly abused by bothsides if it seeks to establish a maxi-,mum day.Another source of shipyard conten¬

tion is the dislike of the skilled mento be always working with and break¬ing in green men. They fail of thesat:.-'.'action of accomplishing a goodday's work, and they become restless,irritable and careless. Yet when youmix 200,000 new men with 50 000 ol«)men there is nothing to do but to makethe experienced men break in the others.This process of breaking in is one oft'ne causes of the unpleasant fact thatshipyard labor is less than 50 per centefficient at a time when the countrywould like to see it about 200 per centefficient.

All of this is very discouraging, butlittle by little the situation gets better.We have probably seen the worst ofshipyard labor troubles.

MusicI Philadelphia Orchestra at Car-negie Hall Gives Programme

of Classic ComposersThe Philadelphia Orchestra gave a

concert yesterday afternoon at Carne¬gie Hall under the auspices of theSociety of the Friends of Music. Theprogramme was devoted entirely to theclassic composers -Bach, of Germany;Mozart, of Austria, and Lully, ofFrance -and, as is usual in the caseof the offerings of the Friends ofMusic, the compositions were out ofthe usual run of musical offerings. Theafternoon opened with the Bach SuiteNo. 2 in B minor for string orchestraand flute, with Daniel Marquarre sus¬taining the solo part. The suite wasgiven a sympathetic reading by Mr.Stokowsky, and Mr. Marquarre gave anadmirable performance.The Mozart E flat concerto for two

pianos, in which the solo parts were*played by Harold Bauer and OssipGatrilowitsch, was perhaps the mostdelightful offering of the afternoon.The serene beauty of the work was!exquisitely brought out, especially inthe andante. Following this were anumber of selections of Lully, theprelude from "Alceste," the noc-turne from "Le Triomphe del'Amour," the menuetto from "LeTemple de la Paix" and the marchfrom "Thésée." It would have beeneven more pleasurable to liave heardthese works given by an orchestra ofthe size and composition for which theywere written, yet even with the modernorchestra they recreated the atmos¬phere of the ballets of old Versailles.The afternoon closed with the Bach Cmajor concerto for three pianos, whichwas brilliantly conducted by Mr. Sto-kowsky, and tho solo parts brilliantlyplayed by Mme. SamarofF, Mr. Bauerand Mr. Gabrilowitsch. The audiencewas of goodly size and enthusiasm.

Drama"Chu Chin Chow" GetsAway From All Prevail¬ing Intimate Formulae

By Heywood BrounThere must be a good deal of pneu¬

monia in Lenox Avenue whenever aspectacle of the East is produced here¬abouts, but aside from the costuming"Chu Chin Chow" is not "an intimatemusical comedy." And that's a mcr^.Here for a change the public may seorobbers and camels and slave girls andfakirs and ail the rest who have beenpractically banished from the stagosince musical comedies began to inhabitboudoirs and country clubs. Bagdadpermits a range of imagination in set¬ting and costuming which is denied tothe producer of the "intimate" musicalcomedies, who may only choose whetherhe will equip his opening chorus withtennis rackets or goif clubs. There isplenty of color in "Chu Chin Chow,"rather ingenious costuming, a spiritedplot and good music There doesn'tseem to be ..ny good reason, though,why the voices should not be better.Aside from Eugene Cowles an-.l TessaKosta, there are no voices of distinction'in the cast. EVen the chorus looks agood deal better than it sings.

The announcement that LaurettaTaylor is to play Juliet should settlea long standing argument. Everybodyshould know by now that it wasn'tBacon who wrote Shakespeare's plays,but Hartley Manners.

The "movie" men have learned onetrick which they probably derived moro01 less indirectly from the Greeks. Theyseem to know just a li'ttle better thanour producers of plays that imagina¬tion can always keep a stop ahead ofreality. In "The Whispering Chorus"at the Rialto this week, for instance,'there is a scene in which the body ofa dead man is discovered. Cleverly thedirector always keeps this object justoutside the range of the camera, sothat he heightens the effect he desiresto produce in a manner which would beimpossible through any realistic treat¬ment. The picture men still have agreat deal to learn about the powerof suggestion. In this same "Whis¬pering Chorus" there is a fight inwhich one man hits another in the fi'cewith a bottle or a glass or a black¬jack or something, and then there isa closeup of the face. Mr. De Milleknows better than that.

But the picture, on the whole, is tobe commended to the students of photo¬plays. The story is not particularlystriking, but the picture is so exceed¬ingly well made as to strengthen theplot at every turn. Then, too, there isa capital bit of screen acting. Ray¬mond Hatten shows something of thueffects which are within the range ofthe well trained screen actor.

"Love's Lightning," which ,egan atthe Lexington Avenue Opera House onMonday, is to move to the Eulton The¬atre next week, and "Success," withall the original cast. goes to t lie Harris.

The Stage Women's War I lief Can¬teen, at 17 West Thirty-seventh Street,has arranged an entertainment, for thesoldiers this Sunday which will includePeggy Wood. Flor, tice Moore. BaldwinSloane, Marcelle Johnson, Burr Mcln-tosh and Armond Kaliz.
