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 brstheCi 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. Solomon Gompers, father of Samuel Gompers, passed away at his home in Boston a few weeks ago. The deceased had been blind for many years.

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.

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.
