Suffrage Leader Wants Cooperation
Of Chamber of Commerce.

To save Industrial standards in III,
District OF Columbia In spite of war.
Tune pressure was the plea made yester.
day to the Washington Chamber of Com.
merce by the National American Woman
Suffrage Association in a letter from IT'S
president, Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait
who is also a member Of the newly-ap.
pointed women's advisory committee OF
the Council of National Defense
Reasonable working hours and eoua1
pay for equal work for the women who
take the places OF men drafted for MIL
tary service are two planks of the plat
form upon which the local business men
are asked to cooperate with the Ma
tional Suffrage Association in its Vnr-
service program.
The letter urges that the work Der
formed, not the sex Of the worker, should
determine the pay" I'VE recognize also
the unfairness to men and the infnrv
to Industrial standards in general re-
sulting from the competition of low
paid woman labor" the letter says.
Mrs. Gait addressed a similar appeal 70
the chambers OF commerce OF 500 Other
cities, and has called upon all the State
and local branches OF her association,
with membership OF 100000 women, to
take up this form OF national defense
work.
Vigilance committees of suffragists are
to be appointed in every Industrial
locality to inform themselves as to the
working conditions in local plants and re.
port to the Washington headquarters OF
the association A widespread propa-
ganda will be conducted through every
available agency to induce the women
workers themselves. as well as employ
ers, to maintain proper standards in
the interests OF public health and eff
f1ciency.

VIII II. Parry, Federal
Trade Official, Dead
Effects of Operation at Cap
ital Fatal; Conducted News
print Inquiry

Washington, April 21.-Will II. Parry,
Of Seattle, vice-chairman of the Fed
cral Trade Commission. died at a hos
pital here late to-day from the effects
Of an operation performed week ago.
Mr.. Parry had been in poor health for
some months, and overwork had made
his condition worse.
In the death of Mr.. Parry the COM
mission loses one of its most valuable
members. He organized its staff and
personally directed many OF its eco
nomic Investigations. Recently he had
given his whole time to the commits
sion's newsprint inquiry. and his physi-
clans said he had injured himself by
d too close application to his task.
Mr.. Parry was born in New York
City in 1864 After graduation from
Columbia University he engaged in
newspaper work in Oregon and Wash
ington. He was elected Controller of
Seattle and in that Office revised the
city's finances, started municipal i'm
provements and established a munich
pal water plant.
Later Mr.. Parry became manager OF
the Moran Shipbuilding Company of
Seattle. One Of his accomplishments
was the construction of the battleship
Nebraska. Mr.. Parry was manager OF
the Alaska-Yukon Exposition at Seattle
He was a Progressive. A wife and sew
Cral children survive him.

Il is well sung and we'll staged. and
the great scene before Canterbury Ca
thedrai gave 20 the closing minutes of
the season a touch Of splendor.
A new 'cellist and a fine one made
his bow TO a New York audience yes
terday afternoon at Aeolian Hall. He
was Maurice Dambois, young Belgian,
who several weeks ago appeared as
accompanist for Ysaye. and at that
time made a remarkable impression as
a pianist. lie proved yesterday that as
a 'cellist he was equally admirable. He
IS musician of great poetic feeling,
temperament, and imagination. HIS
technique is unusual. and at times he
accomplished feats which generally are
limited TO the violin. His tone was
rich warm. and vibrant; he played with
an exquisite feeling Tor nuahce and
rhythm; his style was at once polished
and masculine.
His programme yesterday consisted
Of Boellmann'S Variations Sym
phoniques," Saint-Saens's "a Minor
Concerto, two Of his own compositions,
Ysayc's Meditation" Glazounow's
"Melodie," Schumann's "Abendlied.'
and Peppers "Rhapsodie." The advent
Of Mr.. Dambois is welcome. He is a
youth who is yet a mature artist. He
is one Of the few newcomers whose
return We viii look forward TO with
pleasure.

Joe Fox, Reporter, Dead
"Sun" Man Succumbs to Tu-
berculosis at Saranac

Joe Fox, who covered some of the
most exacting assignments and turned
out some of the clearest and most ade-
quate stories for 1.-THE Sun" died yes
terday from tuberculosis at Saranac
Lake. He became copy boy in THE
Sun" office in 1894, giving up the latter
years of his schooling in ST. Patriek's
Cathedral School 10 take the job. In
1913 he became assistant city editor of
"The Sun" He was thirty-seven years
old.
In 1908 symptoms of a lung lesion
were discovered and Mr.. Fox went to
the Adirondacks. lie returned in 1911
apparently in the best of health, and
set to work with his old vigor and de-
termination. In the spring of 1915 he
went back TO Saranac Lake on the ad-
vice of physicians. He had been there
ever since.
Big and frank-faced, Joe Fox set
about getting story with a deceptive
air of nonehalance. II might have been
because Of his apparent lack of inter
est that his searching, casual questions
so often received unreserved answers.
He seldom lounged into any officials
office as though he had dropped in for
chat without some definite end in
mind, and he seldom left without ac-
complishing it. Among the stories
which he wrote were those OF the
Equitable fire, the return OF the Titanic
survivors, the Baltimore convention Of
1912 and the Sulzer impeachment pro
ceedings.
He leaves a brother. Philip ]. Fox.

ties! Tremendous obstacles had to be
overcome in realizing the project. Part
OF the canal had to be blasted through
solid rock. IL had TO be carried across
several streams by stone aqueducts. II
required ffty-seyen double locks anc
fifteen single locks, for the Buffalo ter
minal is SOS feet above the Hudson
River terminal at Albany The engi.
neers who supervised its construction
learned to juggle the laws of gravita
ton and make the water flow the way
they wanted, not the way nature had
planned. However, most of the cana
water flows naturally from west to east
II is only between Lodi and the Seneca
River that the water runs the wrong
way.
Gay Passenger Boats
The canal in its early days witnessed
scenes which for gayety and adventure
were not duplicated till the Mississippi
River boats came into vogue. Light
packets, crowded with prosperous pas
sengers, coursed between Buffalo anC
Albany on regular schedule. They
were drawn by relays of horses. kept
on a steady trot. Even at that mao
pace il took three and half days tC
travel between the two cities.
Virtually the entire commerce be-
tween New York City and the thriving
communities which sprang up along the
canal route and westward was carried
on barges along the new waterway
Just how much the Erie Canal had &c
do in determining the future Of New
York City as the metropolis of the
United States is problematic, but i
was a powerful factor in the prosper
ity Of Manhattan during the first hal
Of the last century.
II was a financial success from the
start. Its revenues were enormous. anC
the cost of its construction, even witt
the widening and the building Of it'
new locks, which cost S21 100000 made
scarcely a dent in the receipts.
According to figures dug up from OLE
records by State Controller Eugene NJ
Travis, who is also commissioner o
the canal fund and member Of thu
Canal Board. its revenues from th'
time the first section was completed, il
1921 till 1882, when the system of toll
was abolished, amounted TO $4,000,
600. In 1868 the canal receipts TO
tailed S5,02s,431. That was the higl
MkltI main III lilb Noioi mn ;
when the railroads then gained thu
upper hand
Within the last thirty years tn
canal has experienced regeneration
to some extent. The barge canal ae
was passed and $l0l 100000 was ap
propriated to deepen and widen tn,
course. In 1909 an additional sum o.
$7,000.000 was voted for construction
Of terminals To date the total cos
represents $45,OO0,00O and the bondet
debt for this work amounts TO Sl4s,
100000.
Now when the great problem o.
modelling the nations resources is be
fore us the use of this great waterway
will be demonstrated to our allies,
said Controller Travis.
The next year or two may sec az
enormous increase in traffic along the
canal route and the saving Of millions
Of dollars in freight to be supplied
both to New York City and TO the ma
tions fighting with the United States
across the Atlantic.
