MrNrYRE GETS SMASHED.

Washington, Oct Ex-senator Reed
OF Missouri, a member of the Senate
Lobby Committee, slapped the face of
John Mcintyre, OF Philadelphia, an Of
fetal Of the National Association of
Manufacturers, following an alterca-
ton in the Judiciary Committee room
at the capitol recently. Senator Reed,
1t Is claimed, was offended because
Mcintyre had In his possessionETA
Mcintyre insisted that the senator had
in his possession an affidavit setting
forth that Senator Reed had assisted
in @suppressing the testimony OF
James ]. Reagan in connection with
the Mulhall charges. The agents of
the National Association of Manufac-
turers have always acted with great
presumption, but the recent investi-
cation and consequent exposure of
the methods employed by that delec-
table band has had the effect Of com
pletely discrediting the active spirits
o fthe association In their distress
they have become exceedingly bump
tons, and it is quite evident that the
agent Of the manufacturers referred to
exhibited too much authority toward
Senator Reed and received in conse-
Quence thereof physical rebuke.

WORKING MEN DuPED.


Birmingham, Ala, Oct. 23.-The fol-
lowing is taken from the Birmingham
Labor Advocate: "Further information
comes through the press that a num-
Der Of Birmingham workingmen al
lowed themselves to be duped by ex-
travagant and golden promises made
by one Taylor who WAS a strike
breaker during the Building Trades
strike in Birmingham, to leave the
city and with nothing more than this
mans word to assure them, went to
New Orleans, supposedly to be trans
ported to Argentina, where they were
to make fabulous wages. They found
chat Taylor had played huge joke
on them and left them in New Or
leans with nothing in sight but the
prospect of paying railroad fare back
to Birmingham or some other place.
The man Taylor was one of the fore
men employed by construction com
pany on a hotel job, and when the

as home-maker and home-keeper?
There is no home so safeguarded
by wealth that in some insidious way
the poison Of wrong social conditions
does not creep into it. And hundreds
of thousands Of homes all over our
own country, with it's vaunted pro-
gress, are made unworthy the name Of
home because of these conditions.
Every one Of these evils is directly
due to the effect Of laws made by
the few for the few, at the expense
of the many. And our women
are wasting their best effort striving
to offset the evil by the futile paIlia-
tives of philanthropy social welfare
work and the like. 1t is time they
should be allowed to discover that an.
intelligent use of the ballot would rem
der many of these paIliatives unneces-
sary.
While there will naturally be many
women whose class interests will
keep them on the side of those now
holding poFwer-still am optimistic
enough to believe that the average
woman will judge any legislative meas
ure presented to her consideration in
the light of it's ultimate effect on the
decency of the home and the we'll
being of the children. And this is
good enough standard of value for
any law+making.4

themselves the right to refuse the
franchise to any other individuals De-
cause of sex, color or any disquaiIfi-
cation whatever except those of i'm
maturity or mental unsoundness
This argument seems to me to be
proof conclusive of the right of every
adult sane woman to exercise the priv
ileges and duties of citizenship.
But if ! must say more, then ! would
say that women today need, and are
asking for the ballot not because they
wish to forsake their. homes, but be-
cause they wish to make their homes
better places to live in. Woman needs
the ballot to protect her home and
her children, now as always her first
care.
There is not one legislative meas

ure becoming law in our country

rents. high prices of food and cloth

tenements and school houses, the
