RALPH M. EASLEY RELIEVES IN
INDUSTRIAL COMMISSION.
STRIKES CAN BE PREVENTED
Committee Meeting Has Been Called
for Next Week to Agree Upon a
Line of Actiou-Commissior
Will Have Much to Do.
(By Associated Press.)

New York, Dec. 2S.-Letters to each
member of the executive committee are
being sent out by Ralph M. Easley,
secretary of the National Civic Federal
ton, requesting them to fix a date be-
tween January Is and February 10, to
take action on the report of the sub
committee appointed some time ago 10
arrange a plan of proceed with re-
gard to strikes and lockputs.
In the meantime Mr.. Easley says the
committee will meet next week and
agree on plan, both committees being
anxious to have the duties of the indus
trial commission of the federation with
reference to arbitrating strikes and lock-
outs defined in such a way that 1t VIII
be ready to act at once when called
upon.
Mr.. Easley has made the following
statement:
1.-THE magnitude of the work before the
industrial commission of the federation
renders it necessary to set some limit as
to its duties and responsibilities. The
cordial feeling shown on all sides at
the convention convinces me that this
department of the federation is golng
to have great deal to do, and the sooner
the scope of it's duties is defined the
better.
1T would be impossible for the fedora
ton to attempt arbitration in every little
strike. Strikes will occur in spite of any
attempt to stop them: but we propose
to take strikes of national unions In
which. if continued. will inconvenience
the entire community.
II have not the slightest doubt that the
industrial commission of the federation
will be able to lessen the number of
strikes very materially. and probably
prevent strikes of great magnitude, such
as the coal strike, for instance"

WOMEN HAVE WON
j
METHODIST CHURCH HAS FINAL
LY ADMITTED THEM.
IT WAS LONG DRAWN BATTLE
Church Constitution Had to Be
Changed and Every Methodist
Organization in the World
Had Vote.
1T WAS LONG DRAWN BATTLE
(Ry Associated PresS.)

New York, Dec. 2S.-The long struggle
for official rcvoss milton III the conferences
by women OF the Methodist church is
probably ended at last, and it is claimed
that the women have won.
A statement to this effect has just
been made by Doctor Stephen L. Bald
win, recording secretary of The Mission
society of the Methodist Episcopal
church, who says that the returns from
the conferences are so far in :;lat it
is certain that the new constitution is
adopted.
The new constitution was submitted
at the general conference OF The church
held in Chicago, in 1900. approved by ii
and referred for decision to tn. confer
ences throughout the world.
The principal changes are thai it gives
women the right to sit as delegates in
the general conference: gives layneas
electoral meetings authority to vote on
constitutional questions and il changes
the vote necessary in the general con-
terence to amend the constitution rom
three fourths to two-thirds.
DR.. Baldwin said in an interview:
The subject of admitting women as
delegates, was first agitated in the gen.
eral conference held il New York in
1883. At the general conference in 1895
Fix women We're elected, but two with
drew. s
Another long discussion took place and
it was decided that the women might
take their seats with title in dispute.
The four declined to accept this condi-
ton and withdrew. The question was
submitted again to the church. but, al
though a large majority of the ministers
voted in favor of admitting women on
equal terms, it was defeated, because the
required three fourths vote in favor was
not obtained.
Last year the general conference ac-
cepted the new constitution, which con-
tanned the desired clause. The various
sectional conferences have all been heard
from except few in foreign fields. and
