SUFFRAGE STATE
ISSUE DECLARES
THE PRESIDENT

Washington. Juno so. - President
Wilson told a deputation Of more than
500 women suffragists at the White
House yesterday that womans suffrage
was a state issue, not national. and
therefore he would not use his influence
for the passage of a constitutional
amendment by congress.
After the mass meeting the sufrra-
gists, who represented the organized
club women of every state, marched TO
the White House headed by a brass
band and were conducted to the presi-
dent by Secretary Tumulty.
what are you going to do for wom-
an suffrage this session of congress-"
the leaders bluntly asked. "Will you
use your influence in favor of the Mon
dell -Bristow suffrage resolution for a
amendment which comes
up before the house rules committee
tomorrow"
1T was extremely kind OF you to re-
ceive this delegation but we have
a point where we are not sat
isfied with kindness and liberation. We
want action" This was the statement
of one of the leaders.

Ban on White Phosphorus Matches.

Washington. July IA law placing a
prohibitive tax on the manufacture and
sale in the United States of matches
containing white phosphorus became
effective today. The law Is a result Of
Investigations carried on in this and
other countries and which established
the fact that the health of the workers
in match factories was much impaired
by handling the white phosphorus. So
far as the American match factories
are concerned the coming into opera
tion Of the new law will have little ef-
feet, as practically all of the factories
discontinued the use of the dangerous
substance some time ago.
