a I I I I I A TUESDAY THE BROOKLYN DAILY TIMES DECEMBER 11. 1917 WOMEN CONVENE IN WASHINGTON Suffrage Party Plans Federal Amendment Campaign. BROOKLYNITES AT CAPITAL Executive Council Discusses Probable Congress Action. (Special to the Brooklyn Times). Washington, Dec.

1L0 tion by Congress on the proposed Federal amendment is the question about which the National American Woman Suffrage Association convention this week revolves itself. Mrs. Rosalie Leow Whitney, chairman of the Congressional Committee of Now York City, is a centre of interest, not only because as chairman she is supposed to know how the Congressmen from New York City stand, but, being a Brooklyn women. she is supposed to be well informe! already on the stand which the local party is to take in the coming Congressional election. The executive council of the National Suffrage Association discussed yesterday the policies being presented to the Congressional committee today.

Whit would be done by the party in 1918 elections. if the Federal amendment did not go through, was hinted at. Tho report that Mrs. Alice Parker Hut chins, Congressional chairman of the Brooklyn Woman Suffrage party, brought with her this 1 morning supposed to be a favorable one. Brook lyn's biggest vote for suffrage is taken indication of its purport.

Some of suffrage's best friends are Brooklynites. Mrs. Hutchins stayed at home a dav longer than she had planned. in order to sound certain Congressmen on their views. course, the party will first of all expect- a candidate to be said Mrs.

Whitney. This latter statement of Mrs. Whitney's touched on a phase of a resolution adopted at the recent State convention held in New York, about which there has been much speculation. 11 concerns the point of making the Federal Amendment the sole qualifica1ions for ollice, second only to loyalty to country. 11 is very difficult to pin the officers the party down to a definition of that resolution.

Some assert that moaning is 100 choir to be misinterpreted. However, dozens of he pathetial questions connected with this resolution are being put to leaders by reporters. Campaigning against men who have be. reactionary on humanitarian legislation was also part of a resolution adopted at the same convention. One of the most frequently heard questions is: If a candidate has record on 1 legislation, is lova! to his country.

and yet is against the amendment, what would the Suffrage party do in that case?" The question is still unanswered. But the leaders assert that such nian is impossible, and that a man who supports his Nation and has the interest and welfare of the community at heart has never yet been found to be against suffrage. Another question put to leaders is: a candidate is. a pacifist, but is on the right side, as far as suffrage concerned. what' will attitude of party be?" There is no question that, in such a case, loyalty would be absolutely first.

Said one leader: "You have got have a country before you have a vote." Whether or not the national assocation will put itself on record to campaign against Congressmen who are against the Federal amendment. will be put before the convention during the session, probably at today's Congressional conference. It is the general impression that the executive council (which consists of a representative from each State, 2:3 well as members from special comnuttees, making about 100 women in allY. has a strong leaning toward opposing Congressmen who are against Federal amendment, said action to 1- carried on in a non -partisan basis, making it clear that the National Suffave Association will fight no political party A8 such.

Dr. Porter is of large dairy farm in Broome County and IS a director of the Dairymen's League. Although Commissioner Dillion, who was appointed by a Democratic Governor, expected that he would be removed from office when he declared that Gov.

The State Agricultuml Department, the Department of Foods and Markets, the office of Superintendent of Weights and Measures, and certain activities of the State Department oP Health are now under one Charles S.

R. T. Will Pay Men's Wages to New Conductors. Brooklynites, prepare for another agreeable surprise! On or about cember 15 the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company is going to employ women on its side entrances, stepless careknown as "hobble-skirt" cars. They will receive the same pay as the men now receive, and quarters will be provided for them the Flatbush depot, William Siebert, superintendent of the surface lines, made this announcement yesterday afternoon, before Public Service Commission, in the course of the rehearing on the service body's order that 250 new cars be added to the 'company's surface' line equipment.

Now here la an.other surprise, but nos as agreeable: In view' of the testimony given by Mr. Siebert, Brooklyn, straphangers will have little hope of getting "adequate service' -that is, a seat--on the surface lines. He stated that when cars' are 50 and 75 per cent. overloaded it is not proof that the service is inadequate. This, gentle readers.

is the last excuse advanced by the B. R. T. for not complying with the Commission's order. At the last hearing, John H.

Wells, attorney for company, intimated that to spend money for the cars at this time would show lack of patriotism. In reply to questions from Commissioner Whitney, Mr. Siebert said the opening of the new rapid transit lines would relieve the surface roads to an extent which would permit the release of many oof the cars now in operation. Mr. Siebert added that even some of the cars which were overloaded "rush hours" were "released" off rush hours." "In other words, you estimate your need for cars on an allowance of 50 or 75 per cent.

overloading in 'rush asked Commissioner Whitney. "Yes." replied Mr. Siebert. "And you do that because you regard service with either fifty or seventy-five per cent. overloading an adequate service?" the Commissioner pursued.

"Io do," Mr. Siebert replied. Attorney Wells added that it wag necessary to carry fifty, seventy-five o1 even 100 per cent. overload, and argued that no street railroad, at a five-cent fare, could do otherwise and pay operating expenses. "Even if had track capacity," he said.

"we could not give seat to every passenger and pay expenses. We would make only about seventy-five cent. of our expenses it we did that to say nothing at all of taxes, interest and other charges." Siebert that the compally planned remarked, seat to every passenger in non-rush hours, and that it was necessary to overload at other times. 'But the law says you must give adequate service," Commissioner Whitney insisted. That means that the people shall get what they pay for," replied Attorney Wells.

"That the service shall not on be adequate from the passengers' standpoint, but also from the company's standpoint. The company must regard its earnings in providing ice." Complaint! wAx made again of the difficulty in getting the necessary help to operate Mr. Siebert said. that a large number of the company's employees had enlisted in the Army and Navy. Between January 1 and November 1, 1917, he said, 4,361 conductors and motormen had been hired, and 4.326 had left the service, leaving only thirty-five to meet the increased demands upon the company.

solution of the help problem, Commissioner Whitney suggested that, if the small cars were replaced by larger motor and trailers, a seating capacity would be obtained equal to that now furnished in three cars, and that only half the number of men would be needed to man the cars.

He wrote a letter to William G. Willcox, president of the Board of Education, asking that no action be taken on contracts for public school alterations to meet the requirements of the Gary plan. He pointed out that there would be no Board of Education after January. 1, until he had appointed the new and smaller, board, and that it would be inexpedient to let contracts at this time. "The result of the last election," wrote Judge Hylan, "was a mandate to the new Board of Estimate to eliminate the Gary plan from the schools of the city." Judge Hylan was in conference with Dr.

William Ettinger and other school superintendents. Dr Ettinger has originated a modified Gary plan of edThe Mayor-elect was asked whether he contemplated having the Ettinger plan put in operation, he replied: "Nothing has been decided upon, nor will any definite decision be reached at! least until after the next conference of the incoming Board of Estimate with educators, which has been scheduled for next said the Mayorelect. can say, however, that what will be substituted for the Gary plan will not be anybody's plan in particular, but will be as different from the Gary plan as a plan can possible The -elect also sent a letter to Acting Mayor Frank L. Dowling advising that the oBard of Estimate take no action on the proposition to have Corporation Counsel institute proceedings with reference to the title of the New York Central to lands I occupied by its west side freight lines. The new Corporation Counsel will try the case and the Judge thinks he should be the one to be consulted in drawing the pleadings.

Frederic C. Howe, U. S. Commissioner of Immigration, has suggested to the -elect that the Fifth Avenue oCach Company's lines present a field for the trying out of the municipal ownership and operation scheme, to which Judge Hylan is pledged by the Democratic platform.
