NeU Era OF Big Business
Indicated By Combinations

New York. Oct 23.-That a new era
Of big business marked by cOnsolida-
lions of existing concerns into larger
units is beginning, is the opinion of
many financial and business experts
here The past week has Witnessed the
conclusion Of two new combinations in
the steel trade, the organiza ton of Mid
vale Steel and Ordnance cOmpanS
through the union of several indie
pendent plants under the direction Of
William E. Corey and the acquisition
Of the Pennsylvania Steel company by
Charles VI. Schwab for the Bethlehem
Steel company.
Rumors are prevalent of many other
consultations not only in the iron and
steel industry but in other important
lines of manufact The reason for
this new movement. the first of the
kind that has been in evidence for the
past ten years, is said TO Ice the neces-
slty of more complete and elaborate
equipment TO fill the enormous orders
for war munitions that have been
placed in this country within the past
SIX months and TO provide organiza-
tons capable of making Roadway in
the competition for foreign trade q
line Of endeavOr that is attracting much
attention at present.

New Mexico Federation Of Women's
clubs. Mrs. Francis c. Wilson, who
headed the delegation. also spoke, and
Mrs +. St Clair Thompson eloquently
summed up the arguments
However. senator Catrou remained
uncOnvinced, and told the visitors that
lit looks TO me as if YOU are asking
me to do something not exactly right
when YOU ask me TO 90 to Washington
20 help pass an amendment to give the
ballot to people who have stated plain
ly that they don't want it."
He referred TO the recent defeat In
New Jersey and Ohio He based his
opposition To woman's suffrage he said
to the fact that man is the hardy
creature, woman the delicate one. man
child bearer; and to grant women the
ballot would lower her by bringing
her into contact with things that are
disa greeable-
He declared that womans suffrage
has not been a success in California

the lower element would exercise II TO
