tack of rata to flush out stagnant water
in the Sdiuylitlil above tho Fall-mount dam
is tha chief cnuao of the bad taste of the
tlty wnlef.
Onntnlo matter of all kinds Is decom
posInK, with conscnuent release of Rases,
' noma of which nre dlssolvcil la the water.
It Is this which causes tho bad taste, but
Chief Davis, of the Bureau of Water, says
It Is not harmful.
Residents la ntt sections of Philadelphia
have been complalnlmr for some time about
the lasto of the water. Some believed that
It was duo to defects In the filtration sys
tem, others wero of tho opinion that It was
caused by unclean mains.
Queries ns to tho cause of tho bad taste
have been pourlns Into the Bureau of Water
dally.
Chief Davis endeavored to easo tho minds
ot those who made Inquiries by answering
hundreds of letters on tho subject. Ho was
n!so dSluged with phone calls and obllgod
to go Into no end ot details In explaining
tho causo of the unpalatable water to those
who gave vent to their Indignation.
In n statement Issued by Chief Davis to
day ho said that not since 1895 nnd 18DG
lias there been such a long spell of dry
weather. Ho alar) points out that up to
November 1 this year tho rainfall was but
twenty-dvo Inches. Tho averago rainfall
In this vlcln'ty Is forty or moro Inches. As
mi conscnuonco the water In the Schuylkill
above Falrmount dam Is stagnant.
In his statement Chlof Davis says:
"Because there rs no flushing out, or
(runic matter of all kinds Is decaying and
. dscomposlne, with the consequent release of
gases, some of which 'are dissolved In tho
Water. Docompoiltlon IS particularly active
nt this season, when warm weather marlno
- growths are dying ns tho result of the
lower fall temperatures.
"Klltratlon will not remove gases held In
solution. Aeration nlono or artificial oxi
dation can remedy tho trouble. Philadel
phia Is not provided with aerators nnd we
can. only hope for a rain which will flush
out the stream, carrying away tho stagnant
water and replacing It with fresh.

FOftCED ARBITRATION
CRITICIZED BY GILDAY
Means Involuntary Servitude for
Worker, Chief of State Media
tion Bureau Says
REMEDIES SUGGESTED
Urges Recognition of Principle of Col
lective llargaining Between
Capital nnd Labor
UAnniSBUIta. Nov. 22 Compulsory
arbitration will nover end labor disputes
or Strike, Patrick Ollday, former labor
trader and now chief of the Bureau of
Mediation and Arbitration of the Depart
ment of Labor and Industry, told the dele
gates to the fourth annual welfare and
efficiency conference at tho opening of the
second day's sitting today. Mr Ollday
said the only solution was a mutual ngree
ment between working men nnd employes
recognising the rights of each.
"for a number of years," ho said, "there
havo been various attempts to enact laws
providing for compulsory arbitration of
Industrial disputes'. The effort hns been
to use tho police power of tho State to
compel both employing corporations ana
their employes to continue their actUI
tlcs regardless of any differences they may
havo ns to wages or conditions of labor.
"Thero aro two fundamental troubles with
this plan, In the first plnce, every mnn
feels that his labor Is his own property, nnd
none, not even tho Htntc, can force him to
part with It, for that would bo Involilntnry
servitude or slavery. Therefore, a law
compelling n man to twork, to every mnn
who Is not n criminal or a convict, would bo
extremely repugnant. Tho employer Is In n
position of commanding ndvantago. Ite
hires the man and pays the wnges; ho also
establishes the working conditions. He
has tho right to hire nnd discharge, nnd
hn can iiso that power to regulate nnd dis
criminate ngalnst nny employes who nio not
nmcnnblu to any new, regulations or work
ing conditions ho may wish to Introduce
"Compulrory arbitration, thcrefoi o,
amounts to nil effort to compel tho worker
to tailor whether ho wishes or not. It estab
lishes Involuntary servitude, prohibited by
tlio, thirteenth amondmctit to tho United
Stntcs Constitution tho unions hold.
Mr. Ollday cites various IntcrcMs In other
States and Canada whore compulsory arbi
tration laws havo failed to end "labor
troubles. "
Ho declared thero Is no known methods of
tying tho hands of labor except nuch reason
able restrictions on both sires nB may como
from a mutual agreement In which tho prin
ciple of coltccttvo bargaining Is recognized
and expressed In a trntlo agreement between
the employers on tho ono side nnd tho em
ployes upon tho other, under the terms of
which, each respects tho rights of the other
and a method of settlement of nil Its dif
ferences of opinion Ih provided.
"Under tho collective bnrgnln or trade
ngrcement both sides mutunlly agree on
some plan to adjust or to nrbltrato any
dispute that arises. Thousnnds of workers
are working under this plan, and whoro tho
letter and spirit of the agreement is re
spected employers nnd employes llvo In
peace," ho said, "and strikes nre unknown
In these Industries.
"Tho advocate of tho trado ngrcement Is
the man who opposes strikes nnd is tho
workman's best friend nnd public, bene
factor," ho declared,
"When wage-earners organlzo to strlko
and undertake to enforce their demnnds
upon thoir employer without regard to his
rights they may gain for a time, but thoy
aro euro to loso'ln tho end. Likewise Is this
true when tho employer undertakes to
handle the labor question by suppressing
the rights of the worker nnd enforce nrhl
trary agreements, one-sided In language and
opprcsslvo In design."

FINANCE COMMITTEE
FIXES TAX RATE TODAY
Decision for Old Figure or Boost

cils May Act
Its hunt for nddltlonal municipal reve
nues ended, Councils' Committee of Finance
this afternoon will reach a flnnl decision as
to a tax rato for 19 17. Tho question of tho
necessity of nn lncrcaso will first bo dis
cussed, then nn effort will bo made to reach
an ngrcement on the amount.
The figures that tell the story follow
Amount to li- appropriated lor 191 J,
S33.9I3.11C, cxrlusivo nt $1,000,000 needed
to meet now estimates for stieet WcaiilnK
iml garbage removal. Amount available
for exponses, (34,103.357. The apparent
Shortage Is $1,770,758 pcnd'ng action on
street-cleaning work.-
Controller Walton's estimate on a surplus
Is $1,410,000, and this has been Included
in tho total revenues for use In the next
twelvo months, Members of Councils fa
miliar with tho Controllcr'p conservative
system of estimating say that his surplus
from unexpected rovenuc3 will bo nearer
$2,000,000 than the flumes contained In his
report. '
Mnny Councllmen favor letting the tax
rato stand nt Its present flguro of $1 on
realty, but others, anxious to put tho city
on n paying basis, favor n rate ranging,
from ten to fifteen cents higher. I'o Itica
play a big part In tho tax into discussion,
ns members of tho tyro-Smith combination

"Prince Igor," by Metropolitan
Company, Attracts Socially
Prominent Throng at First
Presentation Here
g,,,...
With metnphorlcal trumpets Bounding,
noclctr thero In throngs, and colns-cllnklni?
Into tho box office, tho Metropolitan Opera
Company of New York cSme Into Philadel
phia l.nt ulehl. ami. with its usual display
f clnharatc riceessorles nnd its hnnd on
the populnr pulse, made tho city Target that
"tho season" really had been officially
obencd last week.
All the adjectival flora nnd fnunavhlch
flourish on llko occasions flourished flRaln,
and were Justified In tha brilliance of the
social list. In the productlonof an absolute
novelty nnd In tho Superlative excellence
of the oast.
Tho opera was "Prince Iiror," composed
by Alexander V. Ilorodln, with Italian text
by Lena and Settl. It had never been
Given hero before. This was tho cast!

Conductor, Olorslo Polaccn
Ilutftlnn music, ot sorts, Is abundantly
populnr here. It Is often played nt sym
phony concerto nnd tho like. Hut this city
la not especially In touch with Itusslan
opera Tho only wprk of nuch classifica
tion that Is very frequently done Is Moils
oorBskyts "Boris Godtinovv." Twlco It has
been suno; nt tho Metropolitan, nnd by It
must tho scale be ndjustcd to other operas,
at tonst for "the youtitecr aencratlon." Com
parison of "Igor" with "Horls" Is, there
fore. Inevitable Never wero two fellow
countrymen moro dissimilar.
"Igor," based on nn old ttusslan epic,
deals with the prince's expedition ngalnt
the I'olovtsl Its history becomps "curloscr
and curloscr" when ono learns that It was
written In helter-skelter fashion, since
Doiodln, ono of tho fnmous "Flvo," tho
Slav musical clique, Worked on It at such
times as ho was not Blvlntf medical lectures
He died 'before It was finished, nnd Itlmsky
Korsakow Inserted the orchestration, while
ainzounovv, another frlond of his, assembled
tho overture from memory,
STOIIY LACKS KORM
Those facts aro enough to show that
"Igor" Is not u slnglo-mlndcd, clearly de
veloped art form. Not only Is It .amor
phous, where "Horls" was strangely" com
pact, oven In Its wlldncss; It jacks tho
heroic glaro which flashes, beacon-like,
from every noto of Moussorgiiky's ecoro.
So unshaped, Nso episodic. Is It that tho
Metropolitan did not hesitate to cut out tho
third net, thus reducing tho whole to nn
entertainment with a reasonable time limit
Tlio artistic sensibilities wero not vastly
shocked by this process.
Vnr llio "enlfi" rnnnlatR mcrelv of thn
roynl leader's attempt to subdue his Tartar
fnc.1, bis failure and capture, and his some
what Ignominious return to his doting wife.
Perhaps ono's Interest In this sorry hero,
so different from Oodunow, shod with great
desires and crowned with disaster, might
flamo up, wero tho music Itself more native,
moro ferocious, moro appalling. Instead
wo have a composition recalling nothing so
much ns n worthy, but not very dis
tinguished, Italian opera of tho later school.
Of such melodic metal Is the prince's opon
lng nlr, tlio plnlntlvo strains of his Pcncl-opo-of-tho-Steppes,
tho lovo duet of his
son nnd tho Khan's daughter, tho. rather
opera bouffe ducts of the tipsy rebels, and
tho familiarly developed p.irt-slnglng of
tho woman's chorus. Tlut there nro times
whpn tho Cossack blood beats wildly In Its
veins, ns in tho orgiastic nnd stirring
dnnccs, which thrilled and stung last sca
bon when tho do Dlaghlleff ballet did them.
Lnat night they were even better done,
with nn abandon nnd nnlmal graco and
breathless fury that shook tho house, as
much as did tho wonderful mls-cn-sccnc.
VICTORY OF PAINTEn
Throughout "Igor" was a victory of tho
painter and designer. Tho curious, formal,
cold decors of tho llrst act, tho exquisite
combination 'of shimmering greens nnd full
oranges Jn the second, tho ruddy glow of tho
Tartar tents, with an opalescent lake In tho
background (by tho way, why did tho
stagehands emulate Miss Kellermann at that
point?) and tho towering stone buildings
of the last net wore pictures of dollght.
If the scenery seemed tho stnr. It was
only because we nro used to the Blngers nnd
their tried morlts. Mr. Ainnto, In full and
recovered voice, sang Buperbly. Mmc. Alda
sang nt least prettily. Mr. Dldur (ah.
Boris!) acted two roles with consummate
art, and was In good vocal fettle. Tho
Coruslnlan outburst of Mr. Althouse was
wildly npplauded, and minor parts wero
sung In a major way. Best of all, Miss
Gain nnd Mr, Bonflgllo danced llko Norse
Bacchanals In that wondrous ballet. AgalnBt
nil this opulence of voico and visual Istrl
cacy, the dlrectoral work of Mr. Tolacco
was seemingly subdued, yet it wns finely
Intelligent But It was n night of dancing
above all. u. D.

TR0DffiALPULCHRITUDE,
MAKES ABUNDANT JOF
So Saya a Now York Advertise
ment, Which Suggests Reflec
tions4 on "Copy" Writing
By the Photoplay Editor
When, we politely wonder, will makers
of nmUsements discover that their com
modltles can be sold to tho publlo by,, the
same methods that havo "put over" Wrlg
ley's gum and Arrow collars? Which Is
nothing on earth but filling newspaper
npaco with good advertising "copy" Instead
of printing nn Inch or two of proper nouns
anil telephone numbers nnd expecting tho
dramatic editor to do the rest.
The Idea Is seeping In. Tho movies havo
done n lot for It IJecauso a film enter
tainment costs less than n theatrical pro
duction nnd because It had to malco Its
way ns n pioneer form of amusement
against another already established, the
purveyors of the photoplay began using
largo advertising space and writing real
nds Instead of a mero dlroctory
Uut the movies havo stilt got a good deal
to learn about "copy." There Is still n ten
dency toward tho circus sort of alliterative
adjectives and monstrous mutations of
sparkling speech. Thero is also nn absurd
cxtravnganco of phrnso nnd Idea which no
sano "copy" writer of an advertising
agency would over toterate. The best copy
ever written about tho movies was tho
campaign of n Philadelphia firm for tho
Trlanglo pictures when they wore shown at
J2 prices. It didn't go In for such mean-
gmai
