SSH! SAY NOT "SUFFRAGIST"
Men Sick of Word, SO Delegate
Suggests Substitutes.

Mrs Charles d. Blaney, or California, one
of the two women delegates to the Chicago
convention, is, Of course, an ardent suffra-
glst, but she doesn't like the name. She says
all such terms as "women's rights" votes
for women" "suffragette" and even "suf-
fragist' have become to men like q red
rag to a bull, and that the women who are
trying to induce men 10 give them the
ballot would do well 10 avoid the use OF
these opprobrious terms.
in our California campaign" She re-
Gently explained, eve needed the help Of
our men. and it was not our intention TO
antagonize them or make them feel that
there was a warlke movement on foot.
Besides. there had been so much talk OF
suffrage that women sickened at the very
thought Of It, 50 we called our cause the
eighth amendment as it was literally in
our state We urged the men to vote for
the eighth amendment We wore eighth
amendment buttons.
I'VE asked men how they would like TO
be deprived Of their vote and whether they
did not think that women as taxpaying cit-
zens were entitled 10 a voice In the dis
posal Of the money expended for public
welfare. We made them feel we would be
on their side I'm every good cause and that
women's participation in public affairs
would be for the good OF the community.
Woman in public affairs IS great deal
better than 'woman's rights Men really
recognize the big undertaking that women
have carried to completion in clubs, as for
instance the reforms brought about by the
Chicago Woman's Club. They must be
made TO see that women would use the
ballot for just such work"
Both Mrs. Blaney and Mrs Florence col

tion seem 10 be lying rather low and try

COAL PROBE NOT TILL FALL
Only Preliminary Steps in In

From The Tribune Bureau.

Washington. June l9-The real investiga-
ton OF the anthracite monopoly. as ordered
by the Interstate Commerce Commission,
will not begin until fall. only preliminary
steps being planned for the summer
months. according TO an announcement
made to-day.
Commissioner Charles c. McCord will
probably be delegated by his colleagues 10
conduct the active preliminary work. He
has taken the leading part in several in
quiries touching the relation Of mine own
ing railroad to freight rates imposed on
independent operators, and Is regarded as
peculiarly qualified as consequence to
direct the general investigation.
No citations for specific hearings have
vet been ordered, the general notices to
the PA railroads issued yesterday being
only for the purpose OF notifying the re-
spondents OF the proposed proceedings ana
acouaInting them with the aim OF the IN
vestigatlon Several OF the officials OF the
smaller roads may be cited TO appear IN
Washington in July and August, although
the mine owning or mine controlling ran
roads will not be subpGnaed until fall.
while the investigation will be essen
tally to determine whether the rates
charged are Just and reasonable. IL IS prop
oble that there will be startling reveal
lions that may incriminate certain car
riers in the matter OF the violation OF the
commodities clause" Of the act to regu-
late interstate commerce, and thus call
FOR action by the Department of Justice

a railroad from transporting commercial
" any commodity 1t owns. This phase
OF the inquiry may open the door 10 pros

The commission. however. is Interested
only In the matter OF adjusting the freight
rates SO as to give the independent oper-
ators a fair opportunity to compete with
the anthracite interests now monopoliz-
ing the coal business. 1t is believed that
this can be done

middle OF the stage with Father McClusky
president of the college, and Monsignor
Mooney. on either side. Surrounding this
group were the .mbers OF the graduating
class and those who were TO receive hon
orary degrees.
Cardinal Farley and w. Bourke Cochran
delivered addresses, both attacking Social
ism. The three orations presented by men,
beers Of the graduating class also had
Socialism for their themes. They were
given by Albert J. King, who spoke on
Socialism and the State: Joseph r.
DOYLE, Socialism and the Church" and
Maurice L. Ahearn, Socialism and the
Family"
Mr.. Cochran said Christianity and Social
ism we're two irreconcilable systems OF
civilization and were locked in a struggle
TO the death. Socialism, he held, could
grow only as Christianity declined. He de-
clared II was an attempt to restore In the
twentieth century the conditions Of despot-
ism and servitude which Christianity con-
fronted at Its inception.
Cardinal Farley considered ii was high
time the Church openly fought Socialism.
that a repetition OF the conditions OF the
French Revolution might be averted. Il
have often thought" he said, since TINS
menace has arisen that we cannot begin
to combat It too soon. ] have often thought
that II the French people had taken time
by the forelock when they were menaced
by the conditions leading up to the French
Revolution and had put on the armor OF
logic and reason as we have here tonight,
there would not have been recorded in the
annals of European history that most
brutal and bloody chapter that stained her
hstory-the French Revolution
