mass production found the industry with "bare hands. " The large laboratory that was available has wasted, its time and efforts duplicating the efficient work of another laboratory, and the Ordzhonikidze plant cou2 d not devote itself to perfecting its models and making new ones, content to fulfill its program as a whole, without making the number of sets called for. Another plant, the Kazitski, made a number of "EKL-'i" sets, with imper¬ fections due to carelessness; the "EKL-5" set produced later proved complicated and clumsy.

The hotel proprietors were equally firm in their stand declaring that the tax was exorbitant and wrould not be paid.
David B. Mulligan, President of the Biltmore Hotel and President of the New York Hotel Men's Association, said the hotels intended to ignore the musicians' union in its attempt to enforce the tax and was planning no meeting to discuss the controversy.
"We just won't arbitrate, that's all", Mr. Mulligan said.
"We cannot afford to pay the extra charge. All of us are paying the union scale and many are paying more than the scale. I cannot see why the union expects us to support the unemployed musicians by calling up an arbitrary rule which is,
