ers that he wasn't interested in injus-

More Consideration Afforded Voting
Strikers.
This same strike gave an opportunity
10 compare the number and the proper
ton of arrests made among the vote
less women strikers and the men who
we're on strike against the express COM
panies. There was any amount more
violence among the men, but the num-
her of arrests was negligible, while
the girls were arrested and raIlroaded
TO the workhouse continually.
This is the kind Of thing that has
made working women feel that SUI
frage was as important as organIzs-
ton. When working womeI are con
tinually being told by legislators that
they can't get what they want because
they are not voters, they naturally
want to be. That il what legislator
said to one Of the workers who IS now
giving her whole time 20 suffrage when
she went 20 plead for the abolition oil
the unsanitary shuttIes used in the Mas
sachusetts textile mills. The workers
were obliged 20 thread the shuttles
with their mouths, the thread being
PASSED from one to the other, and yet
this obviously unsanitary condition
could not be done away with just be-
cause those women had no political
power. ~

SSS 4 CTlNELY interested Why,
~ who is actively interested
in suffrage except a few
middle class women who have nothing
more important to do than 10 work for
it. This il no measure Of its value to
working women, but il is fact that
only parasitic women Of the class 10
which | belong have the leisure 20
give 20 it,"
This is the angle from which Mrs.
Florence Wise, treasurer Of the Won
ans Trade Union League, views the
question OF the working woman'S atti-
tude on the ballot which was discussed
in The Tribune last Wednesday by two
Of the leagues active members. Miss
Helen Marot. and its president, Miss
Melinda Scott. The position taken by
these two women was that the work
ing woman had no time or energy left
after working hours to think about
suffrage.
working women, especially the un-
organized women, are Indifferent 10
suffrage" Miss Scott had said. Until
very recently they have all had 70
work such long hours and then mad so
many things to do at nome that they
haven't been interested in anything.
They were like machines. or course.
thcre are some organized women who
see that they can use the vote, but most
of them. while not opposed to it, nave
been Indifferent"
Miss Marot spoke even more strongly
Of the indifference of the working
woman 10 equal suffrage. THE suf-
frage movement is a middle class move
ment." she said. "Tt did not begin
until women had leisure, and to-day It
is the women who have been set free
from labor that are active in il. The
working woman feels the need Of d.
rect action. She feels that her union
is nearer to her than suffrage. Our
people here are not politically minded,
like the people OF Germany and Aus
trslia There they look 10 their govern
ments for what they want. Here the
working people look 20 their unions
There are members OF this working
woman's organization, however, who
take exception 70 these statements.
One Of these is Miss Mary Dreier. its
former president and now member
OF its executive board
yes. working women do have TO
work long hours; they do have 10 work
at home after hours; they are busy and
tired" Miss Dreier said. THE fact
that they give the time they do to suf-
frage in spite of their heavy handi-
caps shows that they are vitality inter
ested in it, In comparison with other
classes. they have given freely of their
time TO suffrage work and made many
sacrifices to further the suffrage propa-
canda. Would they do this If they
we're not actively interested?
Miss Dreier Resents Statements.
81 deeply resent this siur on work
ing women as a class" she continued.
"It makes it seem as II women who had
the intelligence TO organize didn't have
sufficient intelligence TO wish to vote.
That is untrue. The very arguments
that arc advanced in support Of such
position namely. that working women
are too busy and tired prove how in

tcrcsted they are. since so many OF
them are giving what little spare time
they have 10 suffrage work. and not
few of the ablest labor women are Civ
ing their whole time TO IT,
.It is always thrown into the teeth
Of such women that they are paid for
giving their services 20 the suffrage
cause. but they would not be accepting
pay for doing this work if IT did not
seem supremely important 10 them.
That is why such women as Rose
Scbneidermar. Margaret Hinchey and
Josephine Casey speak for suffrage.
Suffrage and Organization Equally I'm
pOrtant.
This doesn't mean that suffrage is
more important TO working women
than organization. Both things are OF
equal Importance. To try 20 say which
she needs most is like saying that she
needs her right foot more than her
left She needs a strong organization
10 back her when she demands legisla-
ton, but how can she perfect her or
ganization without the ballot?

stance, she sees now important politi-
cal power u.s. She sees it when she is
hampcred by anti-picketing ordinances
and injunctons.

Dr,ier said. The wives Of working
men. the mothers Of working class chill
drcn. are working women. They are
interested in voting ~ mothers and
homekeepers. They are concerned IN
school questions. in the questions Of
sanitation. Of pure food, OF weights and
measures. And the women who work
outside the home are interested. too.
The working woman in the factory
is interested in the eight-hour law. for
instance. and if she can vote on 1t in
a referendum vote, as she did IN Cali
fornia. II doesn't matter even If her
rmplover does make her sign petit
ton to the Governor saying she doesn'C
want it. That is what they did our
there and what they have the power TO
do everywhere. but If the workers have
a right TO express their own convic-
tons at the polls this kind Of abuse
loses its effectiveness.
These are some Of the reasons why
working women are actively interested

SUM TER AF TER
LICENSE MONEY
R|GHTFULLY DUE

Judge R. L. Maynard, for the COUNT
commissioners of Sumter, appeared be-
fore Judge w. D. Ellis, of Fulton su-
perior court Monday with an applica-
ton for a write of mandamus COM
pelling Secretary of State Phil Cook
to pay the county it's proportionate
part of the stae's revenue derived
from the issuance of automobile H.
censes.
The commissioners claimed that
on the basis of S267, Sumter county is
due $1,055, which has not been paid by
the secretary of state This sum was
withheld from the county by Secretary
Cook, because over 10 per cent of the
automobiles in Sumter county have not
been licensed.
This the commissioners admit, but
they claim that the law requiring this
to be done is unconstitutional and that
the revenue is due Sumter county de-
spite the lack of licensed automobiles.
Judge R. L. Maynard, county attor-
ney for Sumter, filed the application
for the writ. Judge Ellis set Octo
Der for hearing and issued an
order requiring Secretary Cookk to ap-
pear in court that day to show cause
why the writ should not be granted.

FIELDER DENIES He
WILL De CANDIDATE
FOR GOvERNORsH|P

ATLANTA, Ca, Sept. 14.-Hon
Thomas B. Fielder, of Atlanta, who is
taking a leading part in the fight tc
pass prohibition legislation at the
coming special session issues a formal
statement today denying point blank
the rumors published in the Rome
Tribune-H Herald and elsewhere that he
would become a gubernatorial cand:-
date.
"My activity in behalf of the pro
hibition bills is inspired neither by pc
litical or pecuniary motives, but on
the contrary l am acting simply as
private CITIZEN" he declares.
Il have not the slightest intention
of becoming a candidate for governor,
or for any other public office. When
the prohibition bills shall have beer
passed, which they are certain to be,
the initial step will only have been
taken toward Kidding Georgia of the
liquor traffic. The duty will theu
devolve on the citizens to see that the
law is enforced, and to that end my
efforts will be directed.
Enemies of the prohibition bills
are attempting to make it appear
strange and peculiar that l should now
be advocating the passage of these
bills after representing the liquor in
terests for many years as a paid at
torney.
ITO these l desire to reiterate the
fact that the liquor interests and my
self parted company at my instance.
To them public official whether of
high or low degree, is a man to be
influenced, if they can reach him,
whether the means of reaching him be
legitimate or corrupt. With such eli
ents, l could no longer travel except
at the sacrifice of my self-respect.
Il have been the target of threats
and abuse, but the liquor interests
might as well realize now as later,
that no SANDER, or intimidation, or
persuasion, will deter me from the
course on which have entered.
my advocacy of the prohibition bills
has not brought me one dollar in at.
torney's fees and no one knows this
better than the interests which are
seeking to discredit my efforts and my
motives.
"The people of Georgia has recent
ly seen a two-thirds majority in the
house unable to enact prohibition Leg
islation. The house will never be
master of its own deliberations, and
the people will never be able to carry
out their wishes through their duly
elected lawmakers until the present
rules are abolished"

SEWER PROBLEM
SOLVES SLOWLY

Unless the Imperial trustees pass a
resolution of intention within the i'm
mediate future to call a bond cleo
ton for the construction of the pro-
posed joint sewer system between e.
Centro and Imperial, the bond cleo
ton for the 2 cities will probably not

next month, according to announce
ment this morning.
The matter was to have come before
the Imperial board On the same even
ing on which the local board passed
the resolution of intention for this
city. but the absence of the Imperial
city attorney necessitated a postpone
ment there. The announcement was
made that day that an adjourned
meeting would be called at once, but
according to reports from Imperial no
steps had been taken in the matter
up to late hour yesterday after
noon.
May IL had been set as a tentative
date for the bond election, but the de-
lay, it is expected, will not permit the
election before the latter part of next
month.

That dollars may count more than the

was up for final passage. In the face

passed he would be compelled to add
an expense of $4,000 annually to his
ranch to insure the milk against dis

Senators Strobridge and Rush an
