When any great number of peo ple remain standing for more than an hour and a half at any church service, the occasion is unique.

(They think nothing of doing it at theater performance, but church well, that's something different again.) With every regular pew and extra chair filled, nearly 200 for whom seats could not be provided, remained reverently fascinated, standing until the end of the service. Wonderfully impressive was the plan by which the organ was not used until after the words and prayer of dedication. The opening Chorale, "Now Let Every Tongue Adore Thee," by Bach, sung a ca- pella, was heard in the before the choir entered. Then came the Scripture reading by Dr. John J.

Moment, a hymn with the choir leading, the versicles and in vocation, and the service of dedication. During the service the choir sang two anthems, the Martin Shaw "Te Deum Laudamus and Cesar Franck's "Panis Angelicus. In the latter M. P. Moller Jr was the "For her organ numbers Mrs.

Charlotte Lockwood, the minister of music, chose Handel's "Concerto in Cesar Franck's "Chorale in Joseph Jongen's "Pensee d'Automne," Sigfrid Karg-Elert's "The Soul of the Lake." Max Re-ger's "Fantasy and Fugue on the Chorale Bow Brightly Shines the Morning Star'," and for the post-lude, Carl McKlnley's "Postlude on the Italian Hymn." Crescent Avenue Church may well be proud of its organist and its new organ. We have commented previously on the artistry of Mrs. Lockwood's playing. Last night she was at her best, and her program was designed to bring out some of the really remarkable effects at her disposal. It i3 to be hoped that this community will be privileged during the season to hear a regular series of recitals by Mrs.

Lockwood. There are certain fundamental things which every good church organ must have. These include plenty of diapasons, reeds that have smoothness and yet real mellow strings, mixtures that add brilliance and yet do not overshadow, flutes, and plenty of pedal stops for the foundation. All these the new organ seems to have in abundance. Mrs.

Lockwood achieved gorgeous effects in the Karg-Elert number, and mighty climaxes in the Handel "Concerto" and the Reger Fugue." The church seemed to fill with the mighty splendor of tone until one thought the limit had been reached, and then would come a further burst of tone which was almost awe-inspiring. Every organist, and there were many present last night from the Metropolitan area, win envy Mrs Lockwooa her iascmai-ing opportunity. A reception to Mrs. Lockwooa and the organ builders, the M. P.

More Strikes Expected If Truce Fails Washington JP) Several leaders of organized labor Indicated yesterday that they expect a fresh wave of strikes within the next six months unless President Roosevelt is successful in arranging the industrial truce he proposes. This attitude became known as reports were heard that the President is not over-gratified at the results thus far of his suggestion that employers and labor attempt "a specific trial period of industrial peace." It is. said the President would like to see men outside governmental circles exert more spontaneous leadership toward such an armistice.

The reports coincided with talk that Hugh S. Johnson, resigned NRA administrator, is considering establishing himself as an. expert extraordinary to advise- industry and 'labor. In this private and unofficial capacity, friends indicated, he would work toward establishing friendly relations between employers and employes, and thus help attain the peace the President desires.

The statement was made after the federation had unanimously adopted a policy of organizing workers of mass production Indus tries into single unions, "to meet the demands of new industrial con ditions." "I consider the adoption of the industrial union policy for the mass industries a very progressive step. said President himself a members of the United Mine Work ers of America, the largest Indus trial union of the federation. "We already have the nucleus of industrial unions in the rubber, aluminum and automotive indus tries through the chartering direct ly by the federation executive council of federal unions in various plants. Ultimately these federal un ions of individual industries can be amalgamated into an industrial union, which I predict will be the future strength of the federation." The adoption of the industrial un ion policy for mass production in dustries was labeled by labor lead ers as the most progressive step of the federation in decades.
