much to make woman suffrage and
beauty synonymous in New York City,
and for the votes-for-women beef
stew and apple pie, which made many
convert to the cause before the suff-
rage orators got in word, passed
into hitsory yesterday.
1t was not for a house with such
stirring traditions, however, to lapse
into conservative old age. Mrs. Bel
mont has presented it to the "livest
bunch" now operating in these en-
virons-the Salvation Army coffee
nddoughnut corps.
The house for formally dedicated to

Mrs. Belmont made one of the few
speeches of her career in turning the
house over to its new proprietors.
ut is nearly nine years" she said,
"since we began to fight in this house
great battle and won great vic
tory"
"Hear! Hear!' shouted the happy
Salvationists who made up her au-
dience.
"Now that New York has granted
our plea" Mrs. Belmont went on, bow
ing to the sisters in poke bonnets,
1--WE have moved our trenches and ban
ners to Washington.
II am more than happy to have this
building, which harbored one great
army, used now for another great
army of good deeds.
ut is a splendid thing for our men,
coming home from the bloodshed and
horror of war, to find g place where they
will have home comforts and friends
finer thing yet to remind them that
there is another army than the army
in khaki which is fighting constantly
FOR the right"
Ensign Helen Purviance, the Gas
sic" who invented doughnuts for sol
diers, and the McAllister sisters, who
fried them up and down the trenches
of France were introduced to the au-
dience and sang a few war songs
Colonel Mcintyre accepted the house
for the Salvation Army, and Frederick
i. Walless, Fourth Deputy Police
Commissioner, representing Mayor
Hy Ian, also spoke.
The house provides sleeping accom-
modations for 100 men. and dough
nuts and coffee free of charge. There
is a smoking and lounging room, and
big bay window where the returned
heroes from overseas are to "feast
their eyes on the passing throng."

Ncw York 7',Tbune
WASHINGTON Bureau


WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.-That women
.-e Going to stand by women through
seeming injustices caused by demob-
;,;zation of women in industry was
snnounced to-day by the Women's
Trade Union League Miss Ethel
Smith, secretary of the league in
Washington, will leaye tonight for
Cleveland to confer with the women
streetcar employees, against whom the
War Labor Board recently made de-
.is;on in the matter of holding their
Jobs.
Twenty-four hundred motormen and
conductors of the Cleveland Street
Railway Company struck last week to
force the company to dismiss by the
first Of March $50 women who had been
nut to work on the car lines to relieve
the labor situation in September. The
company officials signed the agreement
to dismiss the women and the strike
was called off.
Labor Boards Decision
The War Labor Board decided that
women were not necessary on the
Cleveland streetcars. Coming as this
decision did the first question since
the armistice was signed involving
whether women should hold the places
they took during war emergencies,
women labor leaders consider that it
may set a precedent for the whole re-
construction policy toward women.
Mrs Raymond Robins, president of
l.
telegraphed the Cleveland women:
"The league is standing by you in
your fight for the right to work"
Miss Smith is going to Cleveland to
help the women formulate an appeal to
the War Labor Board on it's decision.
"The women of Cleveland have lived
up to every union principle" said Miss
Smith to-day. "They have not under
cut the men. They have obeyed all
the hour laws. The issue at stake is
whether women are going to be allowed
to work at the kind of work they
choose or not.
"The Cleveland case is but symp-
tom of the serious industrial posi-
bilty which will manifest itself in
other occupations if this decision by
the National War Labor Board is al
lowed to stand. 1t is monstrous that
the government should establish
precedent like that at time so critical
in the history of the whole world.
Women Will Resist
"The women of the country will re
sst it, of course, and the National
Womens Trade Union League is pre-
pared to 90 the limit to fight such in
justice. We call upon all the women
Of the country to join us"
The women were taken on by the
Cleveland Street Railway Company to
meet the shortage of labor caused by
the selective draft laws. They applied
for work in answer TO the company's
advertisements. For membership in
the union in Cleveland it is necessary
that persons be employed by the street
car company for a certain period of
sine. After the women had been in
the companv's employ the necessary
time they applied for membership and
were refused.

Music

There were two pianists who tempted
the fates yesterday at Aeolian Hall,
Edward Morris in the afternoon and
Ralph Lawton in the evening. Mr.,
Morris is young American born,
bred, and artistically trained, who al
ready does credit to his nation. He
is an admirably grounded musician,
who possesses taste and not little
warmth Of action, besides fluent and
accurate technique. His playing of
the two numbers of Rameau, especially
the Minuet, and of Scarlatti's Ca
pricclo" was remarkably clear and
marked with a delicate rhythmic sense,
while his work in the Chopin group
was varied and poetically phrased.
Mr.. Morris is an artist who will bear
watching His playing is instinct
with charm and his outlook is fresh
and unaffected The audience was
large and enthusiastic.
Ralph Lawton, who appeared in the
evening. is also evidently an artist of
attainments. His playing was rather
uneven but at the best, as in the
Chopin impromptu, it was very good
indeed. Strange to say, in the F
minor Fantaisie, which followed the
Impromptu, Mr.. Lawton appeared con-
fused and broke badly the melodic
line. Of the Beethoven Sonata (Op.
80 he gave capable if rather dry
performance. but he plavoa the Bee
thoven- -Rubinstein Turkish March
with admirable dash. In Ravel's
"Valses Mobiles ct Sentimentalcs" he
showed fine feeling for the modern
school, playing them delicately and
with a fine rhythmic sense. CIV.

There was change in the cast of
"Madama Butterfly" at the Metropolitan
Opera House last evening. Mr.. Marti-
nelli, still feeling the effects Of his
recent illness, was unable to sing. At
late hour Mr.. Althouse was called
from his dinner table to sing the role
of Pinkerton, which he did with all
the aplomb that the occasion required.
Miss Farrar was vocally in better
condition than she has been lately
She took fewer liberties with the music
and her impersonation was more con-
