Washington, June 1e.-If the wo-
man suffrage amendment to the con.

ate at the present session, everybody
will be surprised IL the measure re-
ceives one-half the number Of votes

third OF the senator's, or thirty two,
vote for the pending Chamberlain

The strongest opposition, to the
amendment comes from the south.
Only two southern senator's, Rams

equal suffrage. Other senators who

The Truth Hurts.

Philadelphia, Aug. 8.-An at
torney for the National Associa-
ton of Manufacturers has announc-
ed that a libel suit for $500, 900
damages was filed against the Phil
adelphia North American, the suit
to be based on an editorial in the
North American, in which the Ma
tional Association of Manufactur-
ers was referred to as criminal
conspirators. The same attorney
asserted that other papers that had
exceeded the latitude of press
freedom" would also be sued. IF
this policy is to be pursued the
National Association of Manufac
turers will not have quite SO much
money to expend in bribery and
corruption.

self exhibited the beautiful display OF
color shown IN the original mother-of-

pigment, but to the cancellation in part
of the light falling on the surface
To understand this better it will be
well to explain diffraction grating.
1t consists of piece of plate glass

lei lines. Rowland has been able to
scratch lines on a glass so that there
are 10000 to the inch and the distances
from one TO the other do not vary by
one-millionth Of that distance in the
10000.
AS white light, or sunlight, consists

Telephone Operators and Maintenance
Men viii Return to Work.

St Louis. August 8.--The strike
of maintenance men and operators
employed by the Southwestern Tel
egraph and Telephone Company
(Bell) officially was declared of
this afternoon.
The strike has been in effect
several weeks. The union leaders
claimed that 800 telephone opera
tors were out, but the company
officials said half that number had
struck.
The strike resulted from the dis
charge of 30 operators. The lead
ers of the union claimed that they
had been discharged because of un-
ion activity and that their dismissal
was an attempt on the part OF the
company to prevent the organiza-
ton of the girl operators.
About 10 or Is of these girls, II
is announced, will not be taken
back. All the maintenance men
who struck will be taken back as
fast as there are vacancies, but
none of the men engaged to take
their places will be discharged. 1t
is expected that work will be found
for all by October.
The strike of maintenance men
resulted from the discharge of sew
eral who it is claimed had been ac-
tive in organizing a union.

English-speaking workmen FROM
the mines of Arizona has been filed
with the Secretary of State. Pc
titions ale being circulated in every
mining camp, and it is believed
that the necessary number of names
can be procured to place the meas
ure before the people at the coming
November election. The member
for which the initiative is to be in
voked was the subject of long
struggle in the last Legislature.
An effort was made to place the
bill before the voters in 1912, but
some of the petitions were fltd too
late to accomplish this purpose.
