New Laws Asked
To Protect Women
I'm Mems Positions
Consumers League Wants
Night Work for Girls
Prohibited

The Consumers League of New York
city VIII ask the next Legislature to
pass laws to lessen the "moral hazards
of women and girls working as messen-
gers. apartment house elevator op-
orators and conductors on street cars.
The demand for protective Legislation
will be based on the Investigations of
Miss Nellie Swartz, Of the Consumers
League, and helpers who have made
intimate studies Of the conditions
under which women work in these
hazardous occupatons'
The Consumers Leagues announce
Miss Swartz, will ask law prohibit
ing women working on street car or
on an apartment house elevator at
night. The league will also ask that
girls under twenty one be prohibited
from working as messengers.
The Consumers Leagues announce
ment of its legislative programme fol-
lows the protest of labor leaders, pub
lished in The Tribune Sunday, against
the employment of women as con-
ductors Oh street surface lines. The
labor leaders branded such employment
as an attempt on the part of the New
York Street Railways Company to in
sure 10 itself cheap labor.
No Demand for Women Workers
"Street car lines, apartment houses
and telegraph companies arc hiring
women on the ground that male help
is unobtainable because Of the war,
said Miss Swartz. "Such an excuse is
groundlcss. There are plenty of men
eager to work in any of those lines.
The hiring of women is merely to get
cheaper help.
"The time may come when male
workmen may be unobtainablc, but that
time has not come yet.
Girls are employed as elevator opcr-
ators IN apartment houses, where they
are worked ninety hours a week. In one
of these places the Kindly employer
furnished the girl elevator, operator, a
cot to sleep on between calls. But the
cot was placed in hall, where no girl
would sleep. Rather than try to get
rest on the cot a girl in one of these
places stopped her elevator between
floors and took maps on the elevator
stool.
"Girls fourteen and fifteen years of
age have been found working as mes
scngers. They are sent to all kinds of
places. The telegraph companies can t
tell beforehand what kind Of an GRAND
a girl will be sent on.
at is unthinkable that young women
should be employed on streetcars at
night. The state labor laws protect
girls working in factories and mer-
camille establishments, but the law
makers never expected that girls would
be nut to work as elevator operators,
streetcar conductors or messengers.
New laws will have to be enacted"

Prayer Battalions Planned
Churches Will Organize Fam
lilies of Men at the Front

Steps were taken to organize the
families of those who have gone into
the front into ''prayer battaions" to
ntercede for their safe return, yestcr-
day at the meeting Of the Clerical Con
ference of the New York Federation Of
Churches in Madison Square Prcsby-
terian Church.
Miss Eva kycrson Ludgate, an or
dained preacher and executive secre-
tary Of the new!V formed National
Woman's Prayer Battalion, said that
the object of the organization was 70
get every woman in whose homo a
service flag was displayed to sign the
covenant of the battalion and join with
thosein her neighborhood in a prayer
meeting at least every two weeks.
AS casualty lists come in the mem
bers of the battalicn arc also expected
to seek out the families of those who
have fallen and comfort them in every
possible way. The conference discussed
the proposed organization and then aa-
journed without taking action.

Opera
Henri Rabaud's "Marouf" Is
Repeated at the
Metropolitan

Henri Rabnui's "Marouf," which re.
cclved Its American premiere last week
was repeated last night at the Metro
po'''an before typical Monday night
AUDIENCE The applause was restrained d
as applause ever is on Monday night
but the proceedings on the stage were
watched with evident interest.
There seems to be no reason to re-
wise the impression made by the first
performance of the new opera
"Marouf" is we'll conceived, admir-.
ably carried out work, unoriginal in
spirit or in mclodious inspiration, bu,
never dull or insipid. Its use Of Ori
entail rhythms is always pleasing, its
ballet unusually effective. 1t loses
much by its presentation in the huge
spaces Of the Metropolitan, but Josef
Ordynski has made the most OF his
opportunity for scenic splcndor
The cast is cxcellently chosen, with
Giuseppe De Luca in the title part
Frances Aida as the Princess, Leon
Rothier as the Sultan. Andreas de Segu-
rola as the Vizier and Thomas Chal-
mers as Ali. Pierre Monteux gives OF
the score sympathetic reading. A
word, too, must be said for the superb
dancing OF Miss Roslna Cali. If three
quarters OF to-days opera singers were
as expressive with their voices as Miss
CALI is with her limbs the palmy days
of opera would be here again.

On the Screen
"A Modern Musketeer," With
Douglas Fairbanks, at
the Rivoli

At risk Of being banal, we arc go
ing to start off by saying that Douglas
Fa'rbanks's newest picture, "A Modern
Musketaer," is the best thing he has
ever done. 1t is, not forgetting Down
to Earth" and "1n Again, Out Again,
and If any one doubts the truth of
our statement let him visit the new
Rlvoli .his week and be convinced.
"a Modern Musketeer" has a pro
logue which shows D'Artagnan, the
hero OF Dumas's novel. as he might
have been had he been endowed with
the wit and humor of Fairbanks. At
any rate, Ned Thacher fancied himself
reincarnation of the chivalrous
D'Artasnan, and perhaps he was.
Ned was born in Kansas, where the
cyclones come from. and before he was
born his mother read "The Three
Musketeers" right up to the moment of
ms ms birth, because she longed for son
like D'Artagnan. She got her wish.
Ned grew up chivalrous to q fault.
One Of the sub-ttles says: "The ONLY
flies IN his ointment. were damscls in
filed with flies"
One day Ned decided to leave home,
and in giving the parental blessing his
father said: "Go if you must, but go
before you tear down the house" So
Ned packed his belongings in a new
Ford and started out to seek ad-
venture.
And, as often happens he did not
need to seek 1t. 1t sought him in a
big RoIls-Royce, which made his 1916
hlvver look like a go-cart. And in
the car was the girl, and Ned, with
ms usual impetuosity, knew as soon
as he looked at her that he was going
to marry hcr
And so, to win favor in her eyes, he
offered her his lunch basket. and then
hitched his Ford to hand-car and
carried them out of the desert.
That was only the beginning of
Neds chivalry, and the ensuing events
gave Douglas a chance to do some
things that made even the most dar-
ing pause. He jumped across the
Grand Canyon, scaled the sides of
cliffs, scalped band of Indians. and
performed the few feats Of daring
which had heretofore escaped his mind.
Altogether, the picture is more hu-
morous, more active and more arts
e'I tiidu any OIL TdlTDAnRS = previous
vehicles, and it seemed as though he
had reached the limit in humor, action
and art.
Marjorie Daw is Dorothy Morane

She is worthy successor to Eileen

Fairbanks for long time.
