i THE WEATHER PROBABLY SHOWERS TODAY Sir Q3UU Iiaiti ASSOCIATE PRESS DAY AND NIGHT SERVICE VOL. XXXII. No. 19, ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 18, 1921 PRICE FIV CE] GOERNMENT CAN PREVENT STE SYS RAIL CHIEF, U. S. SHOULD TAKE OVER ROADS, ACCORDING TO HEAD OF ENGINEERS "BIG FIVE" LEADERS ' WILL CONVENE TODAY Breaking Down of Hard Won Working Rules Worse Than Cut In Wages, Says Labor Man (By Associated Press) Cleveland, Oct. 17.-The progressive railroad strike scheduled to begin Oct. 30 can be settled by the railroads or prevented by the government, Warren S. Stone, president of the Brotherhood of Locomotive engineers said tonight when asked his opinion of the situa- tion. Mr. Stone said the causes of the strike is largely because of the ac- tion of railroad managers in request- ing a further 10 per cent wage reduc- tion and the elimination of favorable working agreements on upwards of 75 roads, in addition to the 12 per cent wage reduction which went into effect July 1. The railroads can settle the strike by elimination of these condi- tions, Mr. Stone said. Believes Strike Is Wanted "The goverment can prevent the strike by taking over the railroads and this is what will happen eventually," Mr. Stone said. Mr. Stone said he believed that the railroads "want a strike and that a further reduction in wages is much .iess desirable to the railroad execu- tives than the abrogation of rules and regulations won by employees in var- ious ways as the result of years of organized effort." "If it had been iX question of wage reduction only, there would have been no strike," Mr. Stone said, adding that he has from 75 to 100 letters giving in- stances of attempts by several differ- eint roads to break down working rules that have been secured by arbitration, by decision of the railroad labor board and in other ways. Does Not Affect Small Lines "The Big Five" chiefs or their rep- resentatives will convene tomorrow to consider matters pertaining to the strike. Just what will be discussed, Mr.,Stone wasunable to state to- night, adding that the situation in general will be reviewed. The strike wil not affect the so-called short line railroads, it was explained by W. G. Lee, president of the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen, inasmuch as they were not affected by the wage in- creases and reductions in which the large roads figure.

Technicalexcellence Characterizes Opening Concert For Music Week IHOMOEOPS GATHER ii FOR "CLINIC 0DAY" (By Sydney Coates) With every number executed with technical excellence the first concert on the Faculty series and the first formal program of Michigan's First, Music week came to a successful close Sunday afternoon in Hill auditorium. Community singing and special fea- tures will mark this eiening's pro- gram in Pattengill auditorium. Albert Lockwood opened Sunday afternoon's program with Chopin's "Fantasie, Opus 49". The interpreta- tion given the work was one full of vitality and color in which technical difficulties were marshaled by the pianist with ease and precision. Of the other works played by Mr. Lock- wood perhaps the "Pastorale Variee" of Mozart brought the most apprecia- tion from the audience.

Miss Hunt's full, color- ful voice with the violin obligato by Marian Struble and accompani- ment by Clara Lundell, made a pleas- ing combination. Miss Hunt's other three numbers and especially the "Hindoo Love Song" of Bemberg brought strong applause. The third division of the program was played by Samuel Pierson Lock- wood, head of the violin department of the School of Music. His rendering of Mendelssohn's entire "Concerto, Opus 64", showed his mastery of the violin in his clean cut execution of the passages of this great composer.
