CONTEMPORARIES
Cleveland Strikers Plea Called
Move to Get Rid Of
Women.

WASHINGTON. March 13.--Argumentp
in the appeal from the recommendation
of the National War Labor Board that
women conductors at Cleveland, Ohio,
be discharged to satisfy demands OF
striking male employees were heard
to-day by the board. The case was
taken under advisement and n decision
Is expected within two weeks.
Dr. Anna Howard Shaw, honorary
president Of the National American
Woman Suffrage Association; Frank p.
Walsh, former joint chairman OF tho
board. and Miss Mary Van Kleeck di-
rector Of the women in industry service
OF the Labor Department. were among
those appearing in behalf of the dis
charged women workers.
Dr. Shaw declared that during the
war women In all parts of the country
la d. responded nobly to the nations call
for workers. but that now that the
acute need for workers had passed there
was a tendency to get rid or tho
women. She insisted the basic right OF
women to do any kind Of work they
were capable of performing should be
established.
Miss Van Kleeck told the board that
womens claim OF freedom TO choose
occupations was the greatest labor Issue
before the country and that II should
be solved favorably TO allow women
to contribute their best energies In
peace as they did in war.

SECOND OF PEACE
CONCERTS IS HEARD
Affair Held at Carnegie Hall
Largely Oratorio Society
Entertainment.
ARRANGED BY DAMROSCH
BeethOven's "Benedictus" and
His Ninth Symphony
Are Presented.

The second in the series OF concerts
arranged by Walter DAmrosch to cele-
brate the coming Of peace, which is still
coming, took place yesterday afternoon
in Carnegie Hall This date belonged
to the Symphony Society SERIES but the
concert was largely an Oratorlo Society
entertainment. The programme was in
troduced by a general singing of Mr.
Damrosch's setting Of DIR. Henry van
Dykes Peace Hymn OF the Republic"
The concert proper comprised two
numbers, the "Benedictus' from Bee
thoven's ''Missa Solemnis" and his ninth
symphony. According to the printed
scheme, the purpose of the concert was
proclamation of the brotherhood Of
man, which may also be coming when
Bolsheviki cease to inclte to universal
anarchy and busy themselves with such
crimes that peaceable men and women
wonder how long the world Is going
to endure such disruption OF itself
However this is perhaps not the place
for a discussion OF the propriety of
peace celebration or a glorifiCation of
the affectionate relations OF the proleta-
rian lion and the governmental lamb. II
Mr.. Damrosch and the members of the
symphony and Oratorio societies believe
peace Is here, let them rejoice. Mean
while be IL noted that no one threw any
bricks at the conductor, the singers or
the orchestra because they performed
the music OF Ludwig van Beethoven, of
Bonn, a city now in the unmolested leu
tonic territory which enjoys the bless
ings OF armed guardianship by the AL
lies.
The performance of the "Benedictus"
was smooth and effective, but it cannot
be said that the first and third move
ments Of the great symphony proceeded
with all requisite finish. The scherzo
was better done and the last movement,
while uneven in delivery, had moments
of impressive character. The solo quar-
tet heard In both works consisted of
Florence Hinkle, soprano Emma Rob
erts, contralto: Reed Miller, tenor. and
Arthur Middleton, bass. AS usual the
soprano had hard time with Beetho-
ven's merciless soarings, and Mr.. Mid
dleton labored not altogether success
fully with his part. In addition TO the
Oratorio Society chorus there was a choir
of boys from St Thomass Church, and
the youngsters were worth their weight
gold. Why can We not have whole
! )ratorio Society OF them? The pro-
gramme of yesterday will be repeated
tomorrow evening in Carnegie Hall.
