MUSIC HATH CHARMS
BUT NOT FOR LABOR
Violinist Refuses to Give Up His $750
Stradivarius for Ten Thousand
Union Made Fiddles.
Chicago. ?ov. 17?Trouble started In the
Chicago Federation of Labor to-day be
?ause of the discovery that sume violin?
ists in the musicians* union were playing
old "Cremona" violins. Instead of violins
with union labels in them. Formal eom
Platnt was sent in by the Instrument
makers' union.
"I move that the communication he laid
on the tahle." said R c. Dillon, i violln
lBt of the musicians* union. "I play an
instrument that cost nie *M. |f j_ a
Strad.' and I wouldn't change It for ten
thousand union labels. I wouldn't give It
for a carload of union labelled instal?
ments."
"The position of the delegate Is unten?
able." replied Schlicht, a delegate of the
Piano makers' union. "It i_ preposterous
t?. suppose thai union men cannot make
OS good instruments as non-union BMO.
I suppose you think you are an artist?"
by legally apprehending suspicious
persons by means of agents abroad,
I'd employ that method, whether it
were agreeable or not. But the gov?
ernment does not require that I shall
use thosie methods. The 'spies' referred
to by my critics are confidential agents
employed by the Treasury Department
abroad The customs department cm
j Ploys no detectives in other countries.
, ?t baa, however, ways of getting con
fldrritlal Information through the
??gents of th*. Treasury Department,
and whenever they are employed the
ends usually Justify the means."
As for the charge that rigid Inspec?
tion fosters smuggling, Collector Loeb
regards If as a question whose answer
is too obvious to go into particulars. It
would require a long time to argue the
matter, but, he says, a careful search
of the records of the department, tak?
