by exclaiming:

may seem, they lead to absurd
conclusions"

very natural %reasons7 OF course,
no one dies with a light heart for
the mere pleasure of revenge. But

cried the project. "You go only
by suggestions. What l want is
proofs, a proof, only one. And
we are still waiting for it."

WOMEN CONDUCTORS
FIND BACKING HERE
Sister Trade Unionists Urge Appeal
from Labor Boards Decision.

Following a conference in Washing
ton yesterday morning with local rep
resentatives of the National Women's
Trade Union League, Mrs. Raymond
Robins. national president of the or
ganization, telegraphed the women
street car conductors of Cleveland.
Ohio, that the league ''is standing by
you In your fight for the right to
work" and urged the women conduc-
tors to enter a formal appeal from the
decision of the National War Labor
Board. The boards decision in this
case, issued few days ago, called for
the dismissal of the women conduc-
tors. in response to the appeal Of the
mayor of Cleveland. TO end the strike
of the male employees of the railways
who were demanding that the women
be dismissed.
The records of the hearings in this
Gaze, originally brought before the
War Labor Board in October. show
that the $50 women involved did not
displace any men, they did not under
cut them in wages, and they are de-
clared to be competent working
women. two-thirds of whom have chill
dren or parents to support. The strike
of the men.-it is pointed out. occurred
while the War Labor Boards decision
was still pending.

Reincarnation Law Key
To Perplexities of Life

Reincarnation-Its Necessity was
the subject OF an address by Miss
Isabel b. Hol5rook, national lecturer
of the TheosOphical Society. at Theo-
sophical Hall. 1916 H street northwest
last night.
A knowledge of the law of rein
carnation, according to Miss Hol-
brook. enables one to understand
many of the seeming perplexities and
paradoxes that are so common in
everyone's life and when studied in
connection with the law of Karma
it affords a complete, substantial and
logical philosophy of life. The lee
turer devoted a portion of her time
to explaining and answering the crit
icisms that are sometimes made of
this doctrine.
