...Last winter Mary Norton and the Labor Committee set to work producing a new bill. Essentially milder than its original, it called for a 25?-an-hour minimum wage, a 44-hour maximum week, graded to a 4O?-an-hour minimum over the next three years and a 40-hour maximum over the next two. However, it lacked the regional differential which had been its predecessor's concession to Southern industry's cherished conviction that climatic and racial conditions below the Mason & Dixon line entitle its workers to a lower wage scale.

Cleveland's relief crisis last week was only the most spectacular part of a State-wide situation which has been growing worse all winter. A special session of the State Legislature adjourned the end of February without solving the relief problem, has since been called to meet in another special session for the purpose.

S. concert programs. Of the 41 compositions by contemporary composers performed last season by the Philharmonic-Symphony, only six or seven showed modernistic tendencies. Compared with programs of ten years ago the past season in Manhattan, Boston, Philadelphia and Chicago showed an appreciable decline in the number of modernist composers represented. Since 1935 activities of Manhattan's League of Composers, modernism's principal U. S. stronghold, have...
