WomenVJobs
Are Plentiful;
Few for Troops
Dr. Kirchwey Reports Twice
,. as Many Situations as
Feminine Applicants;
Two Men for Each Place
ReplacementsNot inFavor
JUany Corporations Ref use to
Dismiss War Workers to
Make Rooin for Fighters
. Added evidence that women who took
jtlie places of men called to war have
permanently supplanted the men in
many industries, thus making it diffi
cult. for returning soldiers to regain
their old jobs, was disclosed yesterday
tn tigures compiled by the United
IBtates Employment Service.
j Dr. George W. Kirchwey, state di
rector of the service, showed that for
the first week of May:
Men?2,475 discharged soldiers, sallors
and marines applied for johs. Only
1,485 got work.
? Women?1,663 women applied for
jobs. The demand was for 2,871
Women workers. There were almost
two jobs for every applicant.
Won't "Fire" Women Workers
"These figures illustrate clearly the
extent of woman's invasion of industry
due to the war and the difflculty which
our returning fighters are encounter
ing when they try to regain the jobs
they left to fight for Uncle Sam," said
Dr. Kirchwey.
? Many corporations told Dr. Kirchwey
they would not discharge women em?
ployes to make room for returning sol?
diers. Officials of the Metropolitan
Life Insurance Company said yester?
day that they took on 200 women as
clerks during the war.
I "Of course we are not going to dis
Uliss them," an official said. "They
have made good. But we are taking
back all men who entered the service."
"Are women as efficient as men?" he
was asked.
Receive Smallcr Wages
"They are as efficient in what they
do, but not as efficient as to volume
of work. They are paid accordingly.
A woman clerk who took a man's job
paying $25 a week receives $20. As
her efnciency increases her pay is
raised."
The Reemployment Bureau, 605 Pearl
Street, which is cooperating with the
government service, is making an effort
to get jobs for wounded soldiers. An
employer who wanted a watchman tele
*honed, "Send us a wounded men. It
is a good sitting down job." Another
Cmployer wrote, "Send us a one-legged
stenographer. He can sit down all
day. Pay $25 a week."

William Lustgarten, former presi?
dent of the Tax Lien Company, of New

ceny, was brought back to this coun?
try yesterday from France, where he
has been serving as corporal in the
300th Sanitary Train. He arrived in

District Attorney Swann yesterday
wrote to army intelligence officers at
Upton and Washington that the pris

jadgment of the jury."
Lustgarten is charged specifically
witn the theft of $2,000, but Mr. Swann
said that there were other grand lar

"Falsehood!" Cries
Opponent of Mayor
At Market Hearing
W. J. McElheny Refuses to
Apologize for Retort to
Hylan's Charge of Mo
nopoly in Food Supply
"You state a falsehood when you say
we control the food of the city," thun
dered W. J. McElheny, president of the
Fruit Auction Compaay, at Mayor Hy
lan yesterday during the open discus
sion before the Board of Estimate on
the advisability of establishing a
wholesale terminal market in the
Bronx.
Just before this Mayor Hylan had in
terrupted Mr. McElheny, who was
speaking against the proposal, with
the foilowing remark:
"You and the people you represent
are the one3 who have a monopoly on
the food of this city and that's why
you see all these people here clamoring
for a public market termlnar."
About a hundred residents of the
Bronx, mostly women who favor the es
tablishment of the terminal market,
were present. A dozen of these had
voiced their approval of the proposi
tion when Mayor Hyian called for the
opposition. Mr. McElheny arose and
began to speak when the Mayor inter
rupted.
"Don't get excited," replied the
Mayor to Mr. McElheny's retort. "These
people are really desirous of getting
this market and they are tired of being
robbed by profiteers."
Borough President Reigelmann, of
Brooklyn, broke into the colloquy at
this point and demanded that Mr. Mc?
Elheny apologize before he continued
his talk. This Mr. McElheny declined
to do. When Controller Craig asked
him to reconsider he said:
"Weil, I'm a good sport and I'm will
ing to forget what has transplred."
The reply of the fruit man was un
satisfactory to Controller Craig. Bor?
ough President Connolly of Queens,
seeing that troubje was Ioommg ahead,
broke in with:
"What's the use of beefing around
like this? We shouldn't have to beg
him to apologize. If he doesn't want to,
let it go at that. We shouldn't waste
any time with Such incidents as this."
Mr. McElheny taen refused to
apologize.
After the hearing had gone on for
more than two hours the matter was
referred to the Committee on Finance
and Budget, with a promise from the
Mayor that when that committee made
its report there might be another
hearing.

Wilson's Message
To Congress Will
Be Sent by Cable
Document To Be Printed and
Placed in Members' Hands
on Second Day After Ses?
sion Meets,Tumulty*sPlan
N*w York Tribune
Wanhington Bureau
WASHINGTON, May 9.?The absence
of President Wilson from Washington
when Congress convenes May 19 makes
necessary the cabling from France of
the Presidential message outlining the
legislation he desires passed and the
reasons for the extra session, Majority
Leader Mondell was advised to-day.
It is the intention of the White House
to have the President's message
printed and ready for distribution to
all members of both houses on the
second day of the session, Mr. Mondell
was informed when he conferred with
Secretary Tumulty.
With the President still in France on
the opening day of the new session, the
customary notice from Congress to the
President that the legislative body is
in session and ready to receive com
munications will have to be cabled to
Mr. Wilson.
Mr. Mondell also conferred with Sec?
retary of the Treasury Glass on the
status of estimates that are expected
to be presented to Congress. Mr. Glass
said that the old estimates, with modi
fications bringing the appropriations
up to date, would be ready for submis
sion to the various finance, committees
the first week of the session.
While the passage of appropriation
bills is expected to take prccedence
over all activities of the House when
Congress meets, there is much specula
tion here as to the disposition of Con?
gress to provide for a large standing
army.
Secretary of War Baker was unable
to say to-day just what request will be
made to Congress for the military es
tablishment, declaring that nruch de
pends on the necessity for the reten
tion of American forces in the army of
occupation and the acceptance by the
United States of the mandate for Ar
menia. The possibility that an alli
ance between France, Great Britain and
the United States will be formed also
is a factor.
The future of the telegraph and tele
phone lines also will be given early
consideration by Congress, and legisla?
tion is practically assured fixing a defi
mte date for the return to the owners
of their property.

Express Tie-Up
In New York
Now Complete
New Order Prevents Mer
chants Here From Ship
ping Packages at Stations
in Suburban Districts
Demands Sent to Capital
Men Are Asked to Return
Pending Action by Bureau
of Rail Administratioii
Thc express embargo against New
York was made completo last night,
when Robcrt E. M. Cowie, vice-presi
dent of the American Railway Express
Company, issued notico to shippers
that express matter originating in New
York City could not be handled at sub?
urban points. At the same time orders
were issued to the offices in Paterson,
Newark, Mount Vernon, Yonkers and
New Rochelle not to accept any busi?
ness not originating in their territory.
The neccssit.y for the order arose
from tho fact that large New York
shippers were fiooding these offices
with consignments sent hither by mo?
tor truck. So great was the crush in
some of the offices that the operating
stafFs were overwhelmed.
In making this order Mr. Cowie ad
mitted the completeness of tho tic-up
in New York City, but declared that
no effort would be iriade to break the
strike pending action by the Bureau
of Wages and Labor Standards of the
railroad administration. William S.
Carter, head of the Locomotive Fire
men's Union, is the head of this bu?
reau. To him Mr. Cowie yesterday
sent the demands of the men for a $25
a month increase for all express em?
ployes, the eight-hour day, annual
vacations with pay and double time
for holiday work.
A. M. Banks and William Blackman,
of the labor bureau of the railroad ad?
ministration, conferred with the strike
leaders yesterday. After the confer?
ence Mr. Banks said they would report
their findings to Washington.
"I am not here to settle the strike,"
said he. "I am here to get at the facts.
I havo not even advised the men to re?
turn."
He added that he expected to hold
other conferences and that some state?
ment might be i'orthcomihg to-day.
Mr. Cowie, .after receiving the de?
mands of the men from a committee
headed by Michael J. Cashin and Bcn
jamin Muldrew, of the Teamsters'
Union, advised that the men return to
work pending action by the Washing?
ton officials, This advice the leaders
promised to consider.
Muldrew after tho meeting said he
did not know what action the men
might take on tho advice to return
pending an adjustment.
"They may go back, they may not,'
he said. "We don't know ourselves
yet."
Muldrew explained that in his con?
ference with Messrs. Banks and Black?
man emphasis had been laid on the op?
position of the men to being compeiled
to hold membership in tho American
Railway Express Brotherhood.
"ThiB," said he, "is a company or?
ganization formed after the express
companies were taken over by the gov?
ernment. Previous to that each com?
pany had its own club, with which it
pretended to deal with the employes.
All had to belong to it and pay 25 cents
a month."
There was considerable disorder re?
ported during the day in Paterson and
Newark, where committees of strikers
were seeking to prevent the local em?
ployes of the company from handling
express matter carted from New York
In all, according to Muldrew, about
6,000 men are out. The management
places the number at about 5,000.
Some inconvenience in the matter of
food supplies was reported from the
smaller towns in Westchester and on
Long Island which get their perishable
gooda by express.

Five Ships Bring
Home 12,641 Men
For Demobilization
Great Northern Makes Rec?
ord Trip for Transport,
Doing the Round Trip in
13 Days and 43 Minutes
Five transports, headed by the speedy
Great Northern, came to dock yester?
day and landed 12,641 officers and men
of the A. E. F. from Marseilles, Brest,
Bordcaux and St. Nazaire. The soldiers
represented varied organizations of the
overseas forces and are bound for de?
mobilization camps throughout the
country.
The Great Northcrn's arrival caused
much favorable comment, for her un
usually last round trip between this
port and Brest. She made the quickest
turn-around voyage of any transport
that has been engaged in bringing
troops home i'rom France. She pa-ssed
the Ambrose Channel Lightship April
25, eastb6und; arrived at Brest,May 2,
and stcamed into Quarantlne Thursday
night making the excursion to France
in 13 days and 43 minutes. On arrival
at Brest she discharged her 4,000 bags
of mail and took aboard 2,971 officers
and men in six hours.
Captain's Feat Commended
Captain S. H. R. Boyle, U. S. N., who
commanded the transport flyer, was
commended by wireless at Brest and by
the naval authorities at this port for
the swift and safe perforraance of the
vessel.
The Great Northern's troops came
home in commad of Brigadier General
William R. Smedberg, jr., of the regu
lar army, who was in command of the
63d Infantry Brigade. With him came
Colonel Edward G. Heckel, of Detroit
who commanded the 125th Infantry,
which rcturncd practically complete,
with 75-officors and 2,062 men.
111 luck and disease followed the
Santa Cecilia on her run from Bor
deaux with 2,002 officers and men, con
sisting largely of the 307th Engineers.
Soon after she left the French port an
epidemic of influenza occurred, which
sent thirty-two men to tho sick bay.
Four of the patients developed pneu
monia, and one died. He was Private
Wells L. Hornbeck, of Stonebridge,
N. Y., who served in France with the
307th Engineers.
Two other deaths occurred during
the voyage. Samuel A. Powell, a ""
secretary from San Francisco, was
stricken with appendicitis and was op
erated on May 4. He rallied from the
operation and seemed to be recovering,
but died Thursday as the vessel was
nearing port.
Soldier Commits Suicide
Private Jacob V. Alt, of Norwalk,
Ohio, who served with Company B of
tho 307th Engineers, killed himself on
the voyage. It was said by his friends
that he became afflicted with merital
depression soon after the ship left Bor
deaux and complained that he was in
poor health. He was missed by his
comrades on May 6, and a sear'ch of
the vessel revealed his body in the
hold. He had shot himself in the
breast with his service rifle.
The transport Kentuckian, from Bor
deaux, had 1,854 officers and men,
chiefly of the 320th Field Artillery.
The Mongolia, from St. Nazaire, carried
4,605 officers and men, including units
of the 53d, 107th and 109th Field Artil?
lery. She also brought home the 103d
Sanitary Train Headquarters and a de
tachment of the 103d Engineers.
The Sofla, from Marseilles, carried
1,209 officers and men.

"I loved Roosevelt because he was

He was ever looking forward."
It was thus that Hamlin Garland,

ship, at the official opening' of the
Roosevelt Memorial Exhibit in Avery
Hail, Columbia University, last night.
A distinguished gathering of inter?
ested friends and patrorre of the ex?
hibit attended the brief ceremony
which formally opened to the public
the collection of trophies, art treas
ures, souvenirs, letters and books illus
trative of the life of a typical Ameri?
can. In reality the ceremony marked
the initial stages of the Americaniza
tion campaign inaugurated at Columbia
University.
Mr. Garland's talk was largely in
formal and anecdotal.
Secret of T. R.'s Power
"In my judgment," he declared "the
secret of Roosevelt'3 power lay in his
having discovered early in life the
law of concentration. When he bent
his mind upon anything he did it with
his whole hcart and soul. He read
with complete absorption. Most peo?
ple read to forget. He read to remem
ber.
"He was not particularly interested
in music as I remember him, although
I can recall him imitating the roar of
a lion and the various cries of animals
with marvellous similitude."
?Nicholas Murray Butler said that
the memorial exhibit was planned not
only to commemorate the lifework
of a great man, but was for the build
ing up of American principles and
ideals, of American government and
life. There was need for renewal of
faith and a rebuilding of civilization.
No better way to bend its energies
toward the development and study of
Americanism had suggested itself to
Columbia University thtfn the collec?
tion of the Roosevelt exhibits.
Lock of Lincoln's Hair
One of the most interesting of the
exhibits is a ring with a lock of Abra
ham Lincoln's hair, presented by John
Hay, former Secretary of State, with
the suggestion that Colonel Roosevelt
wear it on his inaugural day.
There is a complete cowboy outfit
worn .by Colonel Roosevelt in his
plainsman days, which he later gave
to his military aid, Major Archibald
W. Butt, who was lost on the Titanie.
The Teddy bear idea, forever asso?
ciated with the late President, is illus
trated by a picture of Roosevelt march?
ing through the gates of the University
of Cambridge, England, with a crowd
.of students who had placed a Teddy
bear in his cap.
The manuscripts and letters, which
are voluminous, constitute a compre
hensive diary of the life of Roosevelt.
The manuscript of the speech he de
livered in Milwaukee the night he was
shot is shown, together with the spec
tacle case which he carried.
The exhibition is to be open to the
public from 10 a. m. to 10 p. m. Lec
tures on the work and life of Roose?
velt with moving pictures will be given
twice daily, at 4:30 p. m. and 8:30 p.m.

Promise to Marrv
Has Highest Regard
In Law, Says Court
Justice Cohalan Dismisseg
Plea to Set Aside Real
Estate Conveyance Ron
alds Made to Wife-To-Be
Holding that "there is no considera?
tion in the law more highly regarded
than that of a promise to marry not
yet performed," Supreme Court Justice
Cohalan dismissed yesterday the com
plaint in a suit to set aside convey
ances of real setate made by Reginald
Ronalds to Mildred Ronalds, his wife.
The suit was brought by State Sen
ator James A. Foley as receiver in pro
ceedings of the Guaranty Trust Com?
pany. Ronalds was an accommodation
m^ker of a note for $242,000 which he
and five others gave to the Guarantv
Trust Company. The company ob?
tained a judgment for $183,014 against
the makers of the note and the re?
ceiver was appointed to forward the
process of colleetion.
The suit was brought on the alleged'
ground that t the conveyances were
made considerably in advance of the
protesting of th note. but in fraud of
the creditors and without considera?
tion. Justice Cohalan said in his de
cision:
"The conveyantes were made for a
valuable consideration. The considera?
tion was the agreement of Mildred
Combs to marry Reginald Ronalds and
the agreement was carried out by the
consummation of the marriage. 3t fol
lows that the conveyancos were not
niyde without consideration, as there
is no consideration in the law more
highly regarded than that of a promise
to marry not yet performed.
"The intent of Reginald Ronalds and
the object of the conveyances were to
obtain Mildred Ronalds as his wife
In her testimony before trial Mildre*'
Ronalds stated that she had obtained
a divorce from her former husband
that the custody of her infant son had
been awarded by the court to ner
former husband's mother, wh was in
wealthy circumstances, and that to ob?
tain possession of her boy she had to
prove that she could support him."
