To Settle Strike
Mass Meeting Planned to Call
Out Workers in $50 Hotels
and Restaurants

The efforts of Representative Flo
relic H. La Guardia to settle the strike
of walters and cooks in nine New York
hotels and restaurants have failed. At
ter conference with Major La Guar

bargaining.

night at o'clock in the New Amster-
dam Opera House, West Forty-fourth

Mary Van Kleeck, of u. S.
Labor Bureau, Says Women
Must Be Considered
Troops Have Claims
Returning Fighters Should Be
Given Old Jobs; Asks
Gradual Shake-Up

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1S.-The estab-
ishment OF wages on the basis of oc-
cupation and not on the basis of sex
is urged by Mary Van Kleeck, director
of the Women in Industry Service of
the Department of Labor, who says one
of the big problems of after-thewar
readjustment is the part that women
in industry are to play.
1.-THE chief danger for women in in
dustry," said Miss Van Kleeck, "is that
they will remain in certain industries
or be introduced into new ones at a
lower wage scale than is paid to men.
1t is time to establish wages on the
basis of the occupation and not on the
basis Of sex. During the period Of re-
construction we must also guard
against the dangers to health from
unsanitary working conditions, long
hours and employment at night.
Methods To Be Used
"The problem Of readjustment can
be met only by variety of methods
cf attack. The agencies of the Fed
cral government, the local offices OF
the employment service. the state, de-
partments of labor, the public schools,
the working women themselves, and
effective and intelligent management
in industrial establishments must all
have an active part in a we'll rounded
programme.
"The question peculiar to women re-
lates to those who have taken mems
places. 1t would seem fair to the re-
turning soldiers that they be rein
stated in their old positions, but in
justice to the women who have taken
their places sufficient notice should
be given to enable them to be trans
ferred to other work. The number of
women who have been drawn into gain
full employment for patriotic reasons
is probably much smaller than is gen
orally supposed. Large numbers of
women in the war industries have been
transferred from other occupations
and the problem of leadjustment is
to return these workers to their nor
NAL occupations.
Many Fields Still Open
"With the need for production to
feed and clothe and shelter other ma
tions besides our own there is no rea-
son to believe that the employment of
women in industry will not increase
rather than decrease. In view Of the
responsibility of women for their own
support, and often for the support Of
dependents, they cannot be asked tc
withdraw entirely from ganful employ
ment.
"The problem before US is the or
ganization Of industry in such a way
as to utilize to the full all the avail
able working forces of the country
One group in industry which should
be withdrawn at the earliest possible
moment is the group of children under
sixteen"

Dollar Gas Upheld
BY Appellate Court
Judges Decide Legislature Has
Right to Fix Max
irnurn Rate

ALBANY, Nov. i6-The price of gas
in Albany will be 81 thousand cubic
feet instead of $1.30, the price charged
by the Municipal Gas Company since
September II, according to decision
handed down to-day by the Appellate
Division of the Supreme Court, Third
Department. At the Office of the At
torney General it was said the decision
would be farreaching and that gas
companies in the state could not charge
higher rates than those which had been
fixed by the Legislature.
The Appellate Divisions decision re-
versed an order made by Justice Has
brouck in September, restraining the
Public Service Commission. I'd District,
the City of Albany and the Attorney
General from enforcing the state
law, which prohibited the gas COM
pany from charging in excess of 81
for gas.
Since the injunction was granted the
Municipal Gas Company has been
charging the advanced rate with the
understanding that the excess would
be returned to consumers if the in
junction was not upheld.

Hylan Orders Police to Dis.

Mayor Hylan yesterday in an order
to Police Commissioner Enright told
him to have the police henceforth pre-
vent the display of the red flag and to
disperse all unauthorized public assem-
blages.
"The display of the red flag in our
thoroughfares seems to be emblematic
OF unbridled license and an insignia for
law hating and anarchy" says the
Mayor. "For the preservation of pub
lie order, peace and the welfare of the
community, only the American flag or
the insignia of some foreign govern
ment recognized by the government of
the United States should be DISPLAYED.
1--WE are passing through the most
important and critical period of our
history" says the Mayor. reports
from abroad picture the horrors and
outrages of unrestrained mobs, and
even the great neutral nations in
Europe are facing dangers of social
upheaval. In this critical time every
loyal American citizen must exercise
forbearance and patience and aid the
authorities to deal justly and fairly with
every problem of government. When
ever new ideas are suggested they must
be considered calmly, and if adopted
should be put into effect through the
established methods of law and order.'

Chelsea Pier Fence
May Be Torn Down
Neither Owners of Property

Want 1t Now

The fence erected on the farm"
before the Chelsea piers to bar inter-
lopers from that precarious neighbor-

The barrier was called to public at
tention when employees of the Interna-
tional Mercantile Marine halted Byron
r: Newton at it Saturday when the
Olympic sailed.
The heads of the international Mer-
camille Marine Company, the French
Line and the Cunard Line, whose prop

terday that they hadn't built it and
didn't want it any more. They said
that the War Department built it.
The War Department has informed the
Dock Department that the fence wasn't
essential.
Collector Newton said yesterday that
he agreed with the War Department,
and the sooner the fence was torn
down the better. 1t is on city prop

Germany Won't Get
Food From u. S.
For Some Months
Bread and Potatoes There
Sufficient for Half a Year,
Says War Trade Board
Tribune Wdshin gt0al Bureau

WASHINGTON, Nov. 18.-No official
announcement Of the intention of the
Versailles Council to send German
merchant ships to this country for food
has been received here. 1t is con-
sidered probable, however, that the
German ships will be used both for
food shipments to Europe and in re-
turning American troops to this
country.
Herbert c. Hoover and Chairman
Hurley of the Shipping Board, just be-
fore their departure for Europe last
Saturday, both told President Wilson
that the German merchant ships ought
to be utilized for food and troop trans
portation. The War Trade Board also
has indorsed the proposal
1t was not the recommendation of the
Food Administrator that the German
ships be used exclusively to transport
food for consumption in Germany, and
officials here do not believe that any
appreciable quantities of food from the
United States will be forwarded to
Germany for some months. Informa-
tlon in the possession of the food ad-
ministration and the War Trade Board
indicates that the bread and potato
stocks of Germany are entirely ade-
quate for at least six months. Ger
many needs fats, it is admitted, but
she can subsist for several months
without suffering anything more SER
Gus than continuance of war rations.
1t is not doubted here that eventu-
ally American food will go forward to
Germany, and this may transpire be-
fore the peace discussions have ended
In that event, it is stated, the trans
actions probably will be handled
through neutral countries. This will
obviate the embarrassments which
might attend any direct communication
between the United States and Ger
many during the tendency of peace ne
gotiations.
Germany's food bill, whether con-
tracted in the United States or in neu-
tral countries, it is said, will be very
high in terms of German currency.
The mark has deprecated to nearly half
its face value. This will compel Ger
many to pay approximately double, in
terms of German currency, for every
pound Of food purchased either direct,
ly or indirectly from the United States.
