To Study Situation Here.

For many years a loaf of bread was
supposed to weigh a pound" Mr.. Rob-
erts said today. "and it seems to me an
anomalous condition that bakers should
be prevented from mbining to fix
their prices, but may combine to fix
their weights, by reducing the size Of
the loaf. That is just another way of
fixing prices. So / have decided to
make study of what is being done by
the bakers of Washington and will
bring the facts before the District Com
missioners."

Aimed at Big 'Financfers.

Union leaders attach much impor-
tance to the action of the ma chinists,
about 20 per cent of whom are said to
have voted for a strike. Most of them
are employed in plants manufacturing
munitions of war for the entente allies.
The effect of the strike in that trade,
they say, would be a direct blow at the
Morgan interests, the largest holders of
stock in the Interborough Rapid Tran
sit Company. ]. 2. Morgan & Co. are
the fiscal agents of the British govern
ment in this country.
One man was killed and thirty four
were injured in accidents on the ele-
waited and surface car lines within the
last twenty-four hours.
The most serious was rear-end col
lision between two trains on the Third
avenue elevated line near 59th street
station. Many passengers suffered
severe injuries.
Two trolley cars were in collision in
the Bronx and four persons, one a
patrolman, on strike duty, were injured.
1t is said the cars were being operated
by Strikebrea eakerS.

To Tie Up Water Front.

Should the longshoremen, boatmen
and coal barge workers go out, the
strike leaders say virtually all work
along the water front will be tied up.
The police commissioner has been in
formed that 5000 coal bargemen will
quit work today. 1t is stated that the
longshoremen have voted almost un-
animouSly to go out.
This movement is described by the
Central Federated Union as ''prelimi-
nary to a general strike" While it is
estimated there are 100000 trade union
lists in New York, it is said the leaders
do not count upon calling out more
than 100000 of them as an extreme
measure.

The union leaders announce that the
majority of the members of machin-

ALL FOR SUFFRAGE

Mr. Hughes has made his speech
of acceptance, and, as war expected,
he has come out squarely for equal
suffrage. There was momentary
disappointment because he did not
explicitly endorse the Susan B. Antho-
nv amendment; but few hours later
he did that also, in no uncertain
terms. All the presidential candi-
dates have now gone on record in ia
vor for women.
The reason given by Mr.. Hughes is
one that ought to appeal to hard
headed and practical men. He says
in substance: Woman suffrage is in
evitable; the growing demand for 1t
will make more and more trouble till
it is granted; therefore it is the part
of wisdom to grant it as soon as pos
sible, and clear the way for other is
suos. Samuel Gompers few months
ago said almost the same thing. The
Woman's Jurnal has been urging this
argument, among others, for years
past. 1t is one that is bound to ap-
peal to practical statesmen with ever
growing force.
Both Mr.. Wilson and Mr. Hughes
have been moving forward in their
views on this question. A few years
ago Mr.. Wilson was an outspoken OPP
ponent. Mr.. Hughes while Governor
] of New York, was as non-committal
on the subject as the Sphinx. 1t was
! impossible to get word out of him
either for suffrage or against it. Now
/ both of them are squarely in favor OF
equal suffrage; and Mr.. Hughes goes
farther than Mr.. Wilson, and farther
than his own party platform, since
he recognizes that he question ought
tc be settled nationally.
We do not believe that there is any
reason to tax either candidate with
insincerity or with playing politics.
I The change that has come over then
opinions is merely typical of the
change that is coming over the OPP
inions of Thoughtful men and womer
in every walk of life. On all sides
equal suffrage is being endorsed by
organizations that could not possibly
have been induced to endorse it few
years ago.
1t is an enormous advantage to have
the leader of every party in the Uni
ted States take stand in favor O.
votes for women. What the leaders
see today, the rank and file will ses
tomorrow.

2. Stop in the shade if possible.
3. Water your horse as often as
