Washington. Nov. 17:-A murder

'SUFFRAGETTES
MEET CABINET
English Leaders Want Recog-
milton in New Bill.
ssscsal BY Unitsd Press wsrs.

London, Nov. 17:--Led by Miss
Christobel Pankhurst, big delega-
tion of suffragettes are in confer
ence with Premier Asquith, Chancel-
lor of the Exchequer Lloyd George,
Foreign Secretary Sir Edward Grey
and First Lord of the Admiralty
Churchill today, concerning the in
clusion OF "vetes for women in the
Manhood Suffrage bill the admins
tration will shortly introduce in
parliament.
The suffrage bill, the administra-
tion contemplates, provides for the
abolition of the British existing sys-
tenn OF rural voting by large proper
#ty owners and the establishment OF
Just such one-man, one-vote sys-
tenn as in the United States. The
women have already been offered
the property vote and were willing
to accept this as an entering wedge,
but the leading members OF the min
istry who are liberals are much op-
posed to this.
Following the warm debate be-
tween the ministers and the suffra-
gettes delegation the premier def
nitely refused to introduce the
measure the women demand, de-
claring himself conscientiously OPP
posed to It, It is expected his deci-
sion will be the signal OF an immedi-
ate resort to violence by the militant
suffragettes.

LABOR LEADERS
HAVE HOT FIGHT
Resolution Over Civic Fed
GRAFTON Is the Cause.

Atlanta, Ca, Nov. 17:-A hot
fight on the National Civic Fedora
tion and the labor leaders associated
with 1t was opened today in the
American Federation convention. A
resolution proposed by the Western
Federation of Miners was today re-
ferred to the committee on resolu-
tions. 1t demands that all members
OF the labor federation resign from
all connection with the civic fedora
tion The attack was directed par
ticularly at President Gompers and
his followers among the officers OF
the American Federation, who have
been active In the affairs of the civic
federation.
The committee held a heated ses-
sion but the members declined to
say what action was taken on the
resolution. The delegates discussed
little besides the civic federation
resolution on the floor and about the
corridors today and 1t is certain
when the measure appears from the
committee 1t will precipitate a fight
on the floor no matter what the
nature of the report may be.
