The Belleclaire
GolfandCountryClub
Bayside, Lone: Island.
One of the finest 18-hole golf
courses in the Metropolitan dis?
trict and one of the most acces?
sible?a next-door neighbor to
the famous Oakland golf pre?
serve?has been leased by Rob?
ert D. Blackman, proprietor of
the Hotel Belleclaire, Broadway,
at 77th Street, New York, who
will assume control March 1, and
immediately convert it into a
private club.
Mr. Blackman will conduct
The Belleclaire Golf and Coun?

have popularized the Hotel
Belleclaire?'chat have made it
known everywhere as a home
hotel with all the charm and ser?
vice, conveniences and charac?
ter of a well-appointed and
happy private home.
Many of Mr. Blackman's
friends?men and women?who
live in and outside of New York
?have for a long time wanted
_?im to establish a real, hospi
table, sociable country club
?where those who like golf and
tennis may indulge in their favor-1
ite outdoor pastimes under
most pleasant, and satisfactory
conditions and where motorists,
after a run over the fine roads
of Long Island, may enjoy the
Hotel Belleclaire style of
lunches or dinners, which, ?is
most people know, is the most
popular style of the clay, for it
means the bes-t kind of cooking
pf the very best food, served in
simple, wholesome, tasty fash?
ion.
Mr. Blackman has asked me
to help him organize the Belle?
claire Golf and Country Club,
and ! ?mi glad to do so. be?
cause I am in thorough accord ;
v.ith the kind of club he plans
to maintain.
1 lis ideas in brief are as fol?
lows :

He wants a membership with
?whom character and reputation
count for more than anything
else?men and women who are
accustomed to the refinements
<?nd courtesies of life.
He wants a membership th \t
will co-operate with him in
eliminating the cliques and the
selfishness which are the banc
of club life.
? le wants a membership thai
will heartily ioin in making the
club a happy, cheerful meeting
place where good-fellowship
will be the chief asset.
He wanl tart a member?
ship of 300 men and women golfers,
350 motorists and 50 tennis players.
It has not yet been definitely de?
cided what the charge will be for
initiation fee and annual dues, be
cau the charge is to be based on
ual cosi of maintaining a
fi -st-class club. But out-of-town and

LONDON, Feb. 15. Between now and i
the first days ?if spring decisions of
profoun? importance, not only to Great
Britain, l?ut to the whole of Europe,
will bp reached. The striker in (?las- !
gow, Belfast and London have been
mere .skirmishes compared with the in?
dustrial upheaval ahead, unless an
agreement is readied between the gov?
ernment and the "Triple Alliance of .
Labor" the miners, the r?ilwaymen
and the trans-port workers.
The situation to-day is extremely
grave and only the most skilful and
cautious handling will avert an indus?
trial revolution. That is the view, not.
of wide-eyed radicals anxious to pro?
mote Bolshevism, but of the calm and
clear thinking leaders who desire that
reorganization of industrial conditions
lake place by decrees rather than by
a drastic turnover. Unless Americans
understand clearly the extent of the in?
dustrial unrest in Europe, and study
its causes, many of the decisions
reached a: the peace conference will
come to them as a startling surprise.
Unrest of Masses Recognized
Despite the pressure under which he
has .Worked in Parir;, Premier Lloyd
George is devoting considerable time
to the study of the labor problem, with
its multitude of complications. M. Cle?
menceau has also watched carefully the
developments in Britain as well as in
France. The members of the council
of the "Big Five" are thoroughly alive
to the n icessity of making a peace that
will not only readjust boundaries and
exact, the fullest possible reparation
from Germany, but will tro far toward
satisfying the more intimate and per?
sonal needs of the masse-.
These demands spring from growing
dissatisfaction in the relations between
capital and labor. The desire of the
masses to alter these relations i -? ts
in all parts of Europe. Four years of
war have fanned into .1 flame the
smouldering discontent which showed
'i Russia, Germany and Britain
prior to 1914. The war gave the
niasses n feeling of their power in the
social order, and With this knowledge
they are proceeding i" exert an influ?
ence unparalleled in history.
For two days this week House of
Commons was the scene of a debate, in
which, for the first time, the officiai
government opposition was led, not by
Liberal or Conservative members, but
by representative-- of the working peo?
ple. The first pagas of the London
B pers carried two 1 olumn head?
line.?!, "Case for Miners," and single
column headlines over the peace con?
ference r< port s.
'liners' Leader a Bower
Robert Smillie is not a member of
the government, bui a< president of the
Miners' Federation he enjoys power
exceeding that of mosl ministers. The
miners will begin balloting next, week
on the o.uestion of a strike, unless
their demands for a six-hour day and
a 30 nor cent increase in wag? an
granted. A strike of the coal miners,
if only of a week's duration, would
cause frightful suffering and would
paralyze British industry. Smillie has
the c?nl dence of the m ?nors, lie be?
eves , : a strike only as a last, resort.
It is possible at ' ie government will
reach a compromise before the .strike
?. ote r ? completed,
The railway men have not gone as
far a" the miners, largelj because .1. II.
Thomas, their leader, is more conserva?
tive than Smillie in his methods.
Thomas is considered too conservative
by one faction of his union, but., on the
other hand, ho lias greater influence
with the government and employers
than Smillie. Thomas is a dip!?.mat.
Smillie is a boss. The unrest among
the railway men and transport workers
is almost as great, as among the min?
ers.
Labor Ministers Lose Crip
The labor ministers in the govern?
ment, including Robert Barnes, hold
little power at the present moment.
cry fact that they are members
of the government serves to weaken
them in the eyes of the worker-. Ar?
thur Henderson's position is much the
same. Lahor believes ))<? is. inter?
ested in politics and is slighting the
purely trade union questions. Labor
demands a proper balance between pol?
itics and unionism. Thomas fulfils its
: 1 l.?t ter t han most leaders, be
cau ? he makes speeches in Bat Lament
and also conducts negotiations over
? ions of houis ami wages.
Recent speeches in the Hou c of
have disclosed some of the
complaints of the workers. They be
eve the government is withholding
food and maintaining high prices in
an effort to cover the cost of supplies
contracted for Under war conditions.
They believe free competition should
be opened immediately. The workers
say the employers have made huge
profits out of the war, and cite cases
substantiating their complaints.
For instance, they protest against
paying 16 cents instead of 5 conts for
a spool of cotton, while the manufact?
urer is able to declare a 225 per cent
dividend. The workers demand a re
turn to pre-war prices for beer and
better housing conditions. They want
the mines and railways nationalized
and 0 host of other things.
Pre?)) Now Exploits Claims
There. ?4 already much unemploy?
ment in Britain, and France is bound
to suffer infinitely more. Unless ?dices
can be lowered, the factories speeded
up and labor convince'! that the gov
? rnment ?a working to improve the con?
dition of the masses, extremely anx?
ious times are ahead.
Since the signing of the armistice
conditions have entirely changed. Dur
ing the war the workers liad no news?
paper support when they issued strike
threats. To-day the press stands be?
hind labor in every reasonable demand
fi/r reorganization. Strong ministerial
organic during the days of hostilities
are now sharply critical of the dilatori

some reasonable leader? are now in

Another Tie-lJp of
Port Is Threatened:
By Marine Workers |
Leaders Say Patience of the
Men Is Ended ; Criticise
War Board for Delay; Ex?
pect 8-Hour Decision Soon
According to Thomas !.. Delehurtty,
president of the .Marine Workers'
Affiliation, whose 16,000 members tied
up the Port of New York from Janu
ary 9 to 1-, and Captain William A. !
Malier, vice-president, there are three !
possibilities in the struggle of the har?
bor workers against the boat owner?!.
The first is that V. Evcritt Ma :y,
referee appointed by the War Labor
Board, will render a decision in Wa ?h
Ingtbn giving the men the eighl
day they demand, and will then enforce
it, using the army and navy, if neces?
sary to commandeer boats and force
the owners to come to terms.
The second is that the boat owners
will decline to accept a verdie! of an
eight-hour day and thai the decision
will not he enforced. In this case the
men will see to enforcing the eight
hour day through the strike.
The third pos iibility is that the \ cr
dict will not granl the eight-hour dav.
In that case, said Pi es den! Delehunty
yesterday, he will be unable to hold the
men longer and til ? Pot'l of New York
will very likely he tied up anew.
Decision Expected Next Week
Mr. Macy will si! as referee in Wa ?h
?ngton on Monday. A decision is ex?
pected before Friday, as he sails for
Europe on that day. Meanwhile George
P. West, assistant. |o Prank Manly of
the War Labor Hoard, was ? i confer?
ence with the .?officers of the Marine
Workers' A ; til ?at ion here yestei : .
and Captain Malier plans to go to
Washington to-night.
"The eight-hour day is no', a ques?
tion for arbitration," said Captain
Malier. "The men tied up the Port of
New York and, on points, they won
their .strike.''
"By request of President Wilson
they went hack to work, believing the
War Labor Board would carry out the
expressed policies of the Administra?
tion with regard to the eight-hour day.
"We expect Mr. Macy will do the
right think- The President lias directed

Makes Attack on Taf<
Mr. Delehunty said the men wer?
growing tired of waiting for the de
cisi?n. Ile charged that ex-President
William 1!. Taft had delayed pre? d
?ngs.
"We had to trail Mr. T?fl all ? ' ei

"The entire labor world is watcl

prove what I've always given it. cred
for, then industrial organization has
decided advantage over the trade unie
movement."
Mr. Delehunty then reverted to tl
antagonism felt by many laboring iru
toward the War Labor Board.
"The be I (hing Mr. Taft can do

Practical Efforts of < Gom

Blow at Berne Ctmference
By Chester M. Wright

[Copyright, lui:'. Nnw York Trllwne Inc.)
BARIS, Feb. 15. Order and sanity!
aiv emerging from a situation be
fogged by the Berne conference, for j
Samuel Gompers and the fourteen mem?
bers of the commission on interna?
tional labor legislation have been
hammering the facts into shape. The
commission has agreed to the creation
of a great international labor bureau
for the purpose of collecting and dis?
seminating information on all sub?
jects pertaining to industrial life,
labor and the employment of workers,
thereby hoping to raise the standards
of labor in Die backward countries.
The bureau will bo located in the in?
ternational capital of the world, which
possibly will he Brussels, and will oper- \
ate under the league of nations.
The commission also contemplates an
international congress of workers, em?
ployers ami government representa?
tives and is still discussing the details.
This congress will be separate from
the bureau, although the latter will act
0
as its executive between sessions.
Centre of Activity
The labor bureau should become the
centre of international activity and I
provide the machinery for a worldwide ;
industrial democracy, while the con?
gress brings together the workers and
employers to work out common prob?
lems.
It is hoped to have the first congress
shortly after the adjournment of the
peace con ferenco.
[e nally, th< re is the project, sup?
ported by all the delegates, for a trade
union congress to deal specifically with .
the problems of organized labor every- I
where.
Berne Congress Weakens
Their practical, unvisionary plans
take the wind out of the sails of the
Berne conference participants, among
whom rifts are already appearing.
'?'here are, indications that a revoll
against the Berne internationale may
begin ill Kngland. in which case it
would have a strong following in
France, including Albert 'Ch?mas and
the group of forty loyal French Social?
ist Deputies headed by Comp?re Morel.
Ii is significant that the deputation
elected at Berne to interview President
Wilson in Paris failed to connect, not?
withstanding that at all times the
name of the President was invoked in
support of the words and acts at Berne, i

'meeting in Institut.' Hall to-day, urged
the rejection of the decision of the
War Lahor Board for a forty-two and
one-half hour week and an eight and a

In the presence of a crowd of 450 he
urged that they refuse to enter the

said that a work day from 8 to 5
o'clock, with two ami one-half hours
on Saturday, was the ideal work week
and should be insisted on by the silk
workers. They would even work four
hours on Saturday, making it a forty
four-hour week, if the H a. m. to 5 p. m.

Louis Magnat, delegated by the

Thousands to Join
In Garment Strike
Workers on House and Chil?
dren's Dresses Expected to
Go Out This Week
This is to be a week of strikes in
the ladies' garment industry in this
city. To the 15,000 strikers in the
dress and waist industry still holding
out against the Manufacturers' Associa?
tion, will be added to-day ,'.,000 girls of
the housedress and kimono industry,
who are demanding a forty-four-hour
work week and an increase in wages.
To-morrow the children's dress work
esr are planning to go on strike and
within a short time between S,000 and
10,000 white goods workers will be
added.
Meanwhile, according to the Inter
national Ladies' Garment Workers'
Union, payment of strike benefits to i
the dress and waist strikers continues.
Benjamin Schlesinger, the president,
has accepted an invitation to address
the Woman's City Club on the strike
on Monday, February 24.
In the course of tin? day a state?
ment was issued that the United Waist
League was supporting the Manufactur?
ers' Association in the conuict with the
Union, and the girls were returning to
work. To this Mr. Schlesinger made
the following reply:
"It is true the girls arc daily re?
turning to work, but only in shops that
have settled with the union and con?
ceded to the workers the forty-four
hour work week, an increase in waires
and all the other union standards."

lias Worrying
Ever Helped You?
in all your life did you ever gain
anything, ever get the slightest, bene?
fit, from worrying over ally situation?
Did it ever help you to bear your bur?
ilen better or to make it lighter?
What have all the years of worrying
in the past done for you? You know
that worrying has done nothing but
sap your vitality, lower your courage,
weaken your initiative, handicap your
executive ability and distress and con
fuse your mind, thus unfitting von,
for clear thinking ami decisive acting.
It. has probably eut off years of your
possible life. It has deepened the fur?
rows in your face, whitened your hair,
put a drag on your steps and taken the
spontaneity and buoyancy out of your
life. It has made you a poorer hus
h.and, a poorer father, a poorer friend,
a less agreeable and less effective
partner and comrade, whether in
business or in social life. If lias crip
pled your etl'or's and your business.
Multitudes of days have been pretty
nearly ruined by worry and anxiety,
The fear of disaster, of misfortune, of
possible failure, lias been your Win-;!
enemy. You have harbored it. wel?
comed it, encouraged it by dwelling
upon it, listening to its doubts and
dire predictions. Multitudes of peo?
ple who have harbored it have been
ruined by it. It has tilled our poor
houses, our insane asylums, our hospi?
tals. Fear is the great human curse.

"Big Jobs" Open to
Right Men Released
From Army Service
\j. S.? Employment Service
Has Many Requests for
Trained Executives ;
$5,000 Yearly Is Offered
If there be any among the great army :
of the unemployed who values bis or '
her services at 55,000 a year and "up," '
step forward and go to work.
For there is plenty of room at the
top, and the United States Employment
Service' has compiled a set of statistics
to prove it. A statement just issued
says:
"No matter what, situation exists in
the field of employment for skilled and
unskilled labor, and no matter how ;
many young college graduates are re- (
turning from overseas, anxious to enter
every line of endeavor, the old maxim
that there is plenty of room at the top ;
is shown to be accurate.
High Grade Men Needed
"The professional and special section
of the United States Employment Ser- '
vice, with headquarters at It! East
Forty-second Street, is engaged solely
with the work of placing high grade
men, and while it has a preponderance
of young college graduates and men of
two or three years' experience in busi?
ness, it has not yet found suitable ap?
plicants for a large number of positions
paying between $5,000 and $10,000 a
year. These positions require men with
executive capacity and good education
and also several years of practical ex?
perience in special lines.
"While the export and import field is
flooded with young applicants desiring
to learn the business, some of the lead?
ing firms of this city are unable to ob- [
tain a sufficient number of men with
knowledge of foreign countries, speak?
ing foreign languages. A knowledge of
Spanish appears to be particularly valu?
able.
Big Job Seeks Right Man
"If anywhere there exists a man ac?
tually qualified as an expert account?
ant, and an all-round executive with an
'outstanding personality,' there is a
big department store in this city will?
ing to pay $10,000 for him. Certified
public accountants are at a premium.
owing to tlie closing of war contracts
and the income tax.
"In the engineering field, some of the
largest, concerns are looking for pxecu- ;
fives with scientific training, and aro
willing to pay ?57,500 a year and up. ;
Cotfee and sugar merchants have room
Tor men at the top. Some of the best
known banks in this city will pav from
$7,500 to $10,uno for tien capable of
managing departments at home or
abroad.
"The present is a particularly oppor?
tune time for men of reel ability and:
experience in the advertising field. Kx
pert copywriters can obtain $6,000 a j
year. Purchasing agents can command
nearly their own price, and experienced
credit men can make $5,000 and up.

The Yiislue^s of Siberia
Siberia, that great lone land about
which there is now SO much discussioi .
is so vast that the imagination can
hardly grasp its extent. A vague idea ?
of its size may be gained from the
statement that it is forty-five times
as largo as the British isles, and con?
tains nearly 5,000,000 square miles ?
In all this enormous territory there is j
.a population not exceeding that if 'he
City of New York. There are hundreds
of thousands of sonare miles that are
.entirely uninhabited. It is a land of
mighty rivers, but, the value of th? ?
rivers for purposes of navigation is
greatly restricted, because most of
them, tlow into'the Arctic Ocean and
through their lower courses are ice?
bound for the greater part of the year
The great steppes of Siberia, now al?
most unculivated, are destinen, it is
said, to become the granary of the \
world. Their development, begun with,
the opening of the. transsiberiah rail?
road, has bee,i interrupted by the war.

100,000 Men in
Building Trades
To Quit Monday
Continued from patte 1
tion notifying all international unions j
that members should not be permitted
to work on any operations or construe- |
tion work being done by any member
of the Building "fraile Employers' As?
sociation of New York.
"This applies to all contracts held
by the 850 members of the association
On jobs scattered all over the country.
Just how many I c\o not know. Most of
them are large jobs. Contractors, not
members of the association, who are
payling the union rate of wageB will
not be affected.
"We did not. take this vote until we
had exhausted every means of reach?
ing a settlement. The fact is thata the
other side is not willing to cooperate."
It was explained that the council in
itself has no power to order a strike,
but it is the practice of the interna?
tional unions to follow its recom?
mendations us though they were orders.
It is also the practice of the locols to
waive the formality of a strike vote
when orders come from headquarters.
'therefore no doubt was expsessed but
that the strike will be on in full force
Monday morning.
When the conference between the
mediators and the employers meeting
ended, Mr. Taylor, for the employers,
said anything that wns to be said must
come from the mediarors
"We have been unable to do more
than talk things over with a few niem
bers of the association committee," said
Mr. Skeffington, "ami get the employers'
viewpoint. We tiro now4 going to see
tile unions and see if we cannot do
something -.here. I does not look
; rom?6?ng, but thore ;> always is hope.
"If all of the trades tro out. there
will h<? the devil to nay. In Boston,for
example, there will be serious trouble.
The danger is no! :?>> much what the
strike starts with as as fact that it
may involve employers in other cities.
Thi? most important point, however, is
that this deadlock blocks the campaign
Secretary Wilson has beep making for
a general resumption of building. That
is very dear to his heart, and he has
done his utmost to get it under way.
