EAST SIDE EXPRESS
STATION AT SSD ST.
Subway Change to Relieve Big
Jam at Grand Central in
Rush Hours.

The Interborougil East Side subway
station at Thirty-th.rd street and Park
avenue will be reconstructed from q
local station into an express station and
the local stations between Brooklyn
Bridge and Grand Central will be
lcngthened to accommodate ten car
trains at total cost OF $+.000.000.
according 70 an announcement made by
the Transit Commission.
The Thirty-third street express sta
tion will provide an additional main
stop In the great midtown shopping GEN.
ter and take large part OF the traffic
which now congests the Grand Central
station of the subway.
II Is expected that much OF the trans
Ter from local 20 express trains will be
removed from Grand Central 20 Thirty
third street under the new arrangement.
and the Grand Central Station will have
It's own two peculiar problems. namely,
the handling Of transfereeS between the

Greensboro subway and the shuttle"
and the traffic TO and from the New
York Central and New Haven roads.

with plans beginning TO take shape to
bring about an improved method OF
handling the vast and daily growing
commuter traffic. The old car barn site
at Fourth avenue and Thirty-second
street has been under consideration as
a possible central site for 4 new ter
ninal for suburban traffic.
With the suburban traffic center To-
Gated near TThirty-third street the new
express station may be expected to de-
velop n great increase In traffic. similar
to that which has come TO the Pennsyl-
vania Station on the West Side subway.
which last year was used by more than
90. 000.0 passengers. an increase OF
nearly 100000 for the year. The max
Ing OF an express stop az Pennsylvania
Station was opposed when the plans
were under confederation, but the re-
suits justified Il.
An objection which has been advanced
against the establishment OF an express
station at Thirty-third street - that an
additional stop would slow down the
running time o, express trains. II ,a
believed, however. that the small Delay
thus occurring will be compensated for
by the reduction OF congestion at Grand
Central. which will permit trains to get
in and out OF the station In the rush
hours with greater celebrity.

CLUB WOMEN IN ROW
OYER GIRLS HOTEL
Critics Of Present Institution
Refuse to Help 100000
Drive for New One.

There has cropped Up OF late among
the club women OF this city a marked
difference of opinion as to the advis-
ability Of supporting the approaching
100000 drive for n new Federation
Hotel for working girls to replace the
present one at 462 West Twenty second
street. The drive has the backing Of
Mrs. Richard N. Chapman Of Brooklyn.
who Is president OF the City Federation
OF Wonen's Clubs, and Mrs. Theodore
Martin Hardy. president OF Chaminade,
but several club leaders. among them
Mrs. r c. Talbot-Perkins. president Of
| the Alliance Of Woman's Clubs. and Miss
Amy wrenn. president OF the Woman's
Press Club OF Brooklyn. have thus far
refused TO pledge their support on the
ground that they are not satisfied with
the manner in which the present hotel
has been run.
The hotel Is operated by the CITY
Federation Hotel Company. Incorporated
IN 1907 with $4,000 capital. Mrs. Emil
Glogau Is president. The house was
opened In 1909. Since then fifty or more
persons have been sheltered IN its six
teen rooms. OF which only twelve are
| sleeping quarters. For thirteen years
an annual contribution has been made
| to. the hotel by the City Federation OF
Women's Clubs. which was prevented by
law from renting property and carrying
on business. and therefore entrusted the
company with the management OF the
hotel.
A fund OF $4,000 In the hotel COM
pany'a treasury has been accommodating
for twelve years az the result OF sub
script!onS from the City Federation.
Critics OF the drive ask why this money
has not been used to improve conditions
In the hotel. Mrs. Chapman. In reply.
contends that II would be throwing
money away TO attempt 70 improve the
present quarters.
The house Is entirely inadequate" she
said. I'VE don't own this property and
we see no wisdom In spending a cent
on Il. II seemed wiser to conserve the
money received from the City Fedora
tion and build for ourselves. IT'S up to
every club women IN the city TO put her
shoulder TO the wheel and get a better
place"
Our club vras ASKED 20 give $1,000 to
the hotel company" said Miss Wrenn.
"and determined to visit the hotel per-
sonally and zee how the money we
have been giving had been used. The
house Is old, but 1t could certainly have
been painted. papered. carpeted and
electrically wired instead OF putting 3l7.-
900 into the bank. There is no excuse
for girls being compelled to live In such
a place. They have less comfort than the
women confined on Welfare Island"
Mrs. Talbot Perkins said Several OF
our members have visited the hotel. and
from their reports we have decided not
to support the drive. We are not salts
fed with tho way the present hotel Is
conducted"
