New York—"Tell father to carry on
and do greater things for the toiling
masses."
These were the dying words of Miss
Sadie Gompers, to her nurse a year ago.
Miss Gompers, daughter of Samuel
Gompers, president of the American
Federation of labor, passed away fol-
lowing an attack of influenza, while her
father was in Italy. A monument over
her grave was unveiled and dedicated
recently and her dying words were re-
peated by Oscar S. Straus who was one
of the speakers at the ceremony. Mr.
Straus in his address referred to the
monument in the following words: "It
was no cold hand that carved the stone,
but the hand of Henry Gompers, a

Samuel GoMpers, father of -the de-
ceased, attended the dedication and was
also a speaker. And there was also a
eulogy by George W. Perkins. In re-
ferring to Miss Gunner's dying words,
speakers declared that they have served
as an inspiration for the bereaved father
during a year which has been fraught
with events of tremendous importance.

and women who were born in the
Province of Minsk, Russia, now un-
der Polish rule, listened to stories of
persecutions anti hardships which
their townspeople are said to be suf-
fering from the Poles, and then con-
tributed over $50,000 toward a $100,-
000 fund which was started for their
support. The meeting took place last
week at the Manhattan Opera House
under the auspieces of sixteen socie-
ties. The speakers included Isaac
Hurwitz and Alderman Viadeck.
The speakers stated that most of
the 150,000 Jews living in the Polish
province are facing starvation. When
the Poles took the province, it was
said, the inhabitants offered po resist-
ance, as they had been warned by Mr.
Morgelithau not to do so) The re-
sult, said Mr. Hurwitz, was that be-
tween sixty and seventy-five Jews
were killed.
Jewish storekeepers are being boy-
cotted by the Poles, Mr. Hurwitz said,
and it is a common thing for l'olisit
soldiers to enter a store and take any-
thing that they desire without paying,
or else offering a small SLIM, in order
to mock the Jew.

Mr. James E. Devoe and Mr. Her-
mann lloexter, manager and secre-
tary, respectively, of the Michigan
Philharmonic Bureau, returned re-
cently from New York where they
attended a convention of the Na-
tional Concert Managers' Associa-
tion, at Hotel Commodore. Repre-
sentative managers from every sec-
tion of the country came to lake hand
in a movement launching plans for
the collective buying of musical at-
tractions. The primary purpose of
this meeting was embodied in the fol-
lowing resolution which was adopted
by the association on the morning of
December 19th: "lamsolved, that a
committee of tit-fee fir appointed to
secure the sdrvices of an artist of na-
tional reputation endorsed by a ma-
jority of the members for a season of
70 to 100 engagements from the mem-
bers of the members of the National
Managers' Association." \Vhile no
single artist's name was immediately
mentioned, Fritz Kreisler was en-
dorsed as the first great musician to
be booked under the new scheme. It
is hoped that when all arrangements
have been perfected it may be possi-
ble for a great artist to set out on a
tour progressing from one concert
stage to the next with the least pos-
sible expenditure of time, money and
energy.
Another interesting item in the con-
vention was a "try-out" concert given
by artists, new in the concert field,
for the benefit of the visiting manag-
ers. There is much new material
waiting to be booked and the only
way in which it can seemingly be
brought to the attention of the local
managers is by an arrangement of
this kind. Some of the more promis-
ing talent will be here in Detroit at
some future time under the Devoe
management.
The Michigan Philharmonic Bureau
was the sole representative in this
Concert Managers' organization for
the State of Michigan. Their new
season will open on Monday evening,
January 12th, with a concert by the
brilliant American tenor, Edward
Johnston of the Chicago Opera Conn
pang, and this will he followed by a
lecture on the 18th by Irvin Cobb,
and a song recital on the last Sunday
of the month by a celebrated Jewish
cantor, Josef Rosenblatt.
