Half the women IN the great hall
made audible protests aEainstthe plea
for more wives, more mothers, or
more children. This spectacle was
the climax of a hitter debate between
the radical element in the convention
which stands for suffrage women s
trades unions. and woman industrlal-

which holds that wornan's sphere IS
confined to the four walls of home
The debate which led to this, fol-

of Ohio, TO women to go back TO their
homes and unionize cooks, servant
girls, seamstresses, hairdressers and
every woman with whom they come,

made in this way.
{ Fritz Hawley, the son of the y
gAI. c. A. Secretary, scored IL OF the
5points made on his side, and seemed
ito find the goal whenever he Went al

and ca ptained the Coal City five. i'm
proved all chances coming his way,
and Meredith. as guard, put damper
on the aspirations OF ClarksbufS
sphere tossers whenever the leather
got within his reach. Crawford, as
forward, lifted two pretty ones in rap
id succession into the basket in the
second half which had the effect OF
cooling the ardor of the home team

But once during the game was the
Clarksburg team ahead, and that was
at the very beginning, before the Fair

with the situation of a larger gynna-
stun than they have been accustomed
to. and after Layman had tied the
score by dexterous field throw The

BUFFALO, N. Y, May ply the
Lakes, Buffalo suffers a tremendous
loss.
The entire country, more especially
the East, il is said by shippers here,
will be more 'disastrously affected by
the tie-uD than resulted from the great
anthracite coal strike. Shippers are
counting on the ontinuation OF the
blockade. during the summer. The
highway Of the trade between West
and East is practically closed. The
smoke Of lumber craft or tramp
steamer is occasionally seen, but that
is all. In the granaries Of the West
millions OF bushels Of cereals are
stored that should have been deliver
ed in the East long ago, and the Lake
Superior mines are turning out iron
ore that the furnaces of the East will
need by and by, but won't be able to
get while hundreds of thousands OF
tons Of coal are held up either at the
mines or at coal shopping ports. II
the supply Of iron ore is shut off blast

uaces shut down steel plants and fOun-
dries cannot continue operations.
And something akin to famine is
threatened unless the millions OF
bushels Of cereals are moving from the
West and Northwest. II Western
sranaries are not emptied what is to
be done withathe crop OF wheat, corn,
oats, barley and rye now being rails

an unreasonable estimate. The s1tua-
ton here is rendered still more serious
by reason of the fact that a strike
has shut down the grain elevators.
The strike of the masters and pilots
and the decision Of the trunk lines
and the Lake Carriers Association to
suspend all Lake traffic has held Lake
boats here as effectually as it they had
been hard and fast aground Many OF
them are loaded with coal. 1t is es-
ti1nated that there are on board ship
in this port 100000 tons of coal
Inasmuch as there are practically
no shipments of grain arriving here,
the total falling off for the month OF
May, compared with the same period
last year, will be in the neighborhood
OF 10000 900 bushels. What little
grain is being moved by Lake, is now
going over the Georgian Bay route +
One of the serious features Of the
stoppage Of Lake traffic is the fact
that millions OF bushels OF grain have
been sold by Buffalo men and other
dealers for delivery in the East, and
it cannot be delivered. 1dleness pre-
