HOUSE OF LORDS
BEATS SUFFRAGE
Rejects Measure by Vote OF
104 to 60 After Extensive
Debate.

London, England, May THE WON
ans suffrage bill was rejected last
night by the house of lords by vot.
of 104 to 60.
Speeches in favor of the bill were
delivered by Baron Courtney of Pen
with, the Earl of Lytton, and Baron
Willoughby de Broke, while Baron
Weardale, the Marquis of Crewe, and
Viscount ST. Aldwyn spoke against it.
Viscount st. Aldwyn said the argu-
ments from the extension of the par
liamentary suffrage to women, which
were based on the results obtained in
those states of the United States
where it had been tried, did not ap-
ply in the United Kingdom because in

those states men were in the majority,
while in the British isles they were in
the minority.
Consequently, he argued, the grant
ing of the parliamentary vote to
women in the British isles would mean
the handing over of the destines of the
country and of the empire to female
electorate, which was a perilous step
to take.
Among those who voted for the bill
were Viscount Morley Of Blackburn.
the archbishop of Canterbury, and the
bishops of London, Hereford, Bangor,
and st. Asaph.
Those who voted against the bill in-y
cluded the Marquis of Lansdowne, Wis
count Esher, the Marquis of Salisbury,
the Earl of Halsbury, and the Duke
of Northum berland.

A HOME LESSON.

The purchase Of the Baldwin steel

been passed over As an ordinary busi.
ness Transaction. but recent develop
ments ~ 20 who tn real purchasers
we're reveals another danger that has
been hidden In the Democratic tariff
law. The purchasers OF the Baldwin
plant are Germans who operate q sim.

low this company 10 send It's raw ma.
tertal 20 this country practically free
OF tariff duties. where Ct can be used
at the Charleston plant for the I'm.
ished product
In reeiting the details OF this trans
action. q reliable authority says tina,
the new owner of the Charleston plant
IL called the Stahlwerk. Becker-A. q.
Which Company. Reinold Becker
the director general. was in America
until recently concluding the deal. and
has returned 20 Germany and will
send back n technical engineer. In
this way the company gets the ad
vantage OF low-priced labor for its raw
material and escapes the higher duty
on its finished product. in this coun.
try. by operating a finishing mill here.
For years this company has had a
selling agency in America under the
name OF the Becker Steel Company,
in New York. that handled all OF its
American business. II IL understood
that the new order OF things will dc
away with this selling agency and
all business win be done by the pa.
rent company through its American
branch. The German enterprise Is one
of the first in the steel line TO enter
American markets in this manner
since the new tariY law became ef
fective. The competition Is mainly
with high-grade steel makers and cru
chile producers.
