WOMEN TOGET
OLD JOBS BACK
War Labor Board Orders
That Cleveland Conduc-
toresses Be Reinstated.

Sixty-four Cleveland women who
were discharged as street conductors
on March / yesterday won reinstate-
ment in a decision by the National
War Labor Board signed by Joint
Chairmen William H. Taft and Basil
Manly. -...
The hope of women, especially the
national suffrage leaders. that the
boards ruling would be to the effect
that women should have a place in
industry equal to that of men was
blasted. however, because the board
stayed strictly to the Cleveland issue
and laid down no broad. general prin-
ciples.
To Decide Each Case on Merits.
Officials of the board were of the
opinion that each case involving the
right of women to hold their war
time jobs should be taken up on Its
merits.
The women, the decision OF the
board said. were not given an oppor-
tunity TO be heard and they later
appealed to the War Labor Board,
which directed that the company
should not DISCHARGE the women un-
til their case could be finally heard.
Ex-Mayor Harry Davis. of Cleve-
land, appeared with the plea that tho
boards ruling had resulted in a strike
and pointed out that men were be-
coming available because of the sign
ing of the armistice and the discharge
OF soldiers.
The board then recommended that
the car company employ no more
women and that they should re-
place women already employed as
motoTmen and conductors with the
men.
Reverse Previous Decision.
Joint Chairman Taft and Manley
in their opinion. ruled that the
boards decision of December 5
should be reversed. By the former
decision the women were forced
to leave the employ of the lines
because OF protest lodged by the
mems union.

The peace treaty is TO be a treaty
