Germany to Boycott Singers Who Accept U. S. Engagements
Amsterdam June 4 The German Stage Society meeting in Berlin passed a resolution binding members to deny leave of absence to singers seeking American engagements and to bar German singers for five years if they take U S contracts. The plan, framed by Count Seebach, faces practical doubts but would require Foreign Office consent for abroad tours. Artists contracted before June 2 remain unaffected.

German Stage Boycott Will Not Hurt Metropolitan
Edward Ziegler executive secretary of the Metropolitan Opera Company said the German Stage Society derision would not affect German singers on the Met roster. Most of our Germany armists have contracts that do not end this season and will be renewed as needed. He noted German artists in Germany cannot relocate during the war, and Met will engage German talent abroad only after hostilities end. A second official called the Society’s move a blunder of German hintomacy, unlikely to remove propagandists needed after the war. Artists possibly affected include Margarete Mattenauer and Mme Johanna Gadski, whose contracts are renewed or not renewed based on sentiment and attendance.

Freight Rise Would Lift Meat Bill by 8 Million
Washington reports rail freight rate proposals would raise the annual meat bill by more than eight million dollars, with Cowan of the National Livestock Shippers Protective League testifying that carriers could see eight to twenty million in increased earnings while consumers would eventually pay. Independent oil refiners from several states warned freight hikes would burden independents more than Standard Oil, as pipelines shift costs and tank car needs rise.
