WOMEN APPEAL TO WAR LABOR BOARD
 TO RETAIN JOBS
Argument Grows Out of Dis charge of Cleveland
 Conductors.

Washington, March 13.- Argu- ments in the appeal from the recom- mendation of the National War Labor that women conductors at Cleveland, Ohio be discharged to satisfy demands of striking male employees, were heard today by the board. The case was taken under advisement and 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 the board, and Miss Mary Van Kleeck director of the Women Industry ser ivce of the labor department, were among those appearing in behalf of the discharged women workers, while James H. Vahey, attorney for the h. ternational Amalgamated Associa- tion of Street and Electric railway employees, opposed the appeal.
 Dr. Shaw declared that during the war women in all parts of the country had responded nobly to the nations call for workers, but that now that the acute need for workers had passed. there was tendency to "get rid of the women.
 Organization Protects Men
 "Men employees demand it," said Dr. Shaw, land because they are or ganized, they have power to enforce their demands. The worst of it, is that many of the men so employed, were never in the military service, but had left to enter safe employ ment."
 Dr. Shaw insisted that the basic right of women to do any kind of work they were capable of perform ing should be established and that men should not be allowed to say that women could not be employed. 1 MT. Walsh, who ppeared as coun sel for the women employees, said the board should declare that womer were legally entitled to the same rights in idustry as men. The wom en conductors of Cleveland, were un justly discharged, he said, and should be reinstated.

We celebrate this year with riots and shudder-

go of negro slaves upon this continent Like the
Erinyes of Greek tragedy the negro never ceases
to avenge his terrible wrongs upon this nation
His forcible Importation has become the eternal
symbol of inhuman brutality. He was robbed,
wronged, beaten until he brought war that nearly
destroyed the nation and poured out white blood in
floods to compensate each drop drawn by the lash.
Even then the most terrible legacy of that war was
not the ruin it left, but the almost passive instru
ment of vengeance constituted by the emancipated
negro.
