FEDERATION OF LABOR
ENDORSES SUFFRAGE
Delegates to State Convention,
By Vote of 154 to 48, Pledge
Support to Women.

HARRISBURG. May 13.-After a bit
tor fight, led by representatives of unions
affiliated with the brewing and distillng
interests, the delegates to the convention
of the Pennsylvania Federation of Labor
today adopted a resolution indorsing
woman suffrage. The vote was 15I to 49,
The battle on the floor of the couven-
tion was marked by the presence of Mrs.
o. D. oliphant. an anti-suffragIst from
Trenton, n. j., who, dissatisfied with the
hearing given her on the opening day OF
the convention again attempted to place
the antis' case before the delegates. Half
a dozen representatives of the unions
mainly connected with the liquor inter-
ests, fought hard in her behalf, but the
chair ruled that only recognized delegates
should be granted the privilege of the
floor to discuss the suffrage resolution.
In giving this decision. President Maurer
explained that both )e ants and the
suffragists had an opportunity Tuesday
to present their respective cases before
the convention and that further presenta-
tions from either Mrs Oliphant or Mrs.
Gertrude Breslau Fuller, who had rep
resented the suffragists, were unneces-
sary. Vie was suppNted in this stanl
by a majority Of the delegates but II was
only after Seated discussion led by
delegates from Philadelphia that the
matter was dismissed and the vote taken
on the resolution calling for the Fedora
ton to support the suffrage amendment
at the polls this year.
Prior to the appearance of Mrs.
Olphant, vigorous arguments in favor of
the convention supporting the woman suf-
fraEe resolution were presented by
Steve" Mcdonald, President of tho
Scranton Central Labor Union, and
Dave" Williams, of Allentown. Both
speak urged the delegates to remem-
ber that it was the working woman who
needed the ballot and that to renouncel

Three OF MATSON
SHIPS COMING
in One DAY

Twelve thousand tons of cargo, the
largest amount ever arriving at this
port in one day on Matson boats, will
reach Honolulu a week from tomorrow,
when the steamers Lurline, Enterprise
and Hyades should dock, the first
named boat coming from San Fran
cisco and the latter two from Puget
Sound.
Radio advices today from the En-
terprise, Capt. ]. o. Youngren, to Cas-
tie & Cookies shipping department
said the steamer had sailed from Sc
attic Saturday with $3.50 tons of gen.
eral cargo aboard, of which 5000 are
for Honolulu, so for Hilo, so for Ka-
anapali, and 25 each for Port Allen
and Kahului.
A wireless from the Hyades stated
that she had sailed from Seattle yes
terday, with total cargo of 1900 tons.
This is consigned to the following
ports: Honolulu, BOO; Port Allen,
500; Kahului, $50; Hilo, SIS; Kama
pail, Is. -:-.. -.
Although the amount of cargo the
Lurline, due Tuesday, December IA,
from San Francisco, is bringing, is
not known yet, the local agents are
confident that her cargo will bring
the grand total to more than $4,000
tons. .-....
I'VE are wondering where we will
put it ALL said C. A. Drew, claims
agent of the Matson Navigation Com
pany this morning. THE Enterprise,
Hyades and Lurlne should get in the
same day and with all three CT them
in port, well have a grand time finding
room to unload their cargoes." -
For two Matson freight boats. tt
leave Seattle within "a hours of each
other is unusual. The reason is that
freight congestion at Seattle has be-
come acute because of the American.
Hawaiian line tie-up due to the canal
blockade. The Enterprise, which usu-
ally runs direct from San Francisco
to Hilo, has been put on the Seattle.
Honolulu run to help relieve the con-
gestion, as the Hyades could not begin
to carry all the island freight piled up
on the docks there. .. ..~.

Until END OF

Because they could not secure the

and Mrs. u. s. Grant, Jr., are travel.
ing TO Japan and China by way of
Australia on the Canadian-Australasi
an liner Niagara, which left here last
Thursday afternoon, and is due to
arrive in Sydney December 16.
The Grants arrived here from San
Diego and San Francisco on a Matson
steamer, and after passing several
weeks here, decided to 60 on to the
Orient. They went to Castle & Cooke
Ltd, and insquired of the shipping
department for stateroom on the
Shinyo Maru.
Sorry, but all our first-cabin state.
rooms are taken until the end of Janu-
ary," they were told. The local agents
informed Mr.. and Mrs. Grant that
they could give them single berths on
the Shinyo if they would be willing
to travel in this manner, but that a
good stateroom for their exclusive
use could not be had until after Feb
ruary ].
mir. and Mrs. Grant wired to San
Francisco to friends of theirs who are
in the T. K K. offices, but they could
not get SUITE" the local agents re.
ported today. "All the desirable cab
ms have been taken at the coast from
now until the end of the year and
later, although on the last boat there
were one or two empty cabins, but
they were down in the lower part OF
the shin and not the best"
In the last few months several in
stances have been known of parties
here offering the local agents double
the usual price il they could obtain
frst-cabin space for them.
