Republicans to
Give Women Voice
In Party Affairs
County Committee Unani'
mously Favors Recogni-
ton Of New Voters

The Republican County Committee
meeting last night in Bryant Hall un-
animously adopted resolutions designed
to facilitate the participation of wom-
en- in party affairs. Besides recon-
mending immediate legislation con-
cerning the enrolment and registra-
tion Of women voters, the Committee
on Womens Organization included the
following paragraph in the resolu-
tions:
"That as a temporary measure and
until the recommendations numbered
first and second rerein can be carried
into effect. the president OF the Re
publican County Committee Of the
County Of New York be empowered 10
name an associate committee to be
known ag the Women's Division OF the
Republican County Committee of the
County Of New York upon the recon-
mcndation ard report of the Women.s
Conference Committee. That snNh
committee shall not exceed the total
number Of member now constituting
the present executive committee and
shall be, as oppressed in the report of
the Women's Conference Committee,
for the purpose of organizing Repub-
lican women in the district IN New
York County
Women to Select Their Representatives
Frederick c. Tanner, chairman Of
the committee making the recommen.
dations, explained that the women OF
each Assembly district were TO choose
their representative in the womcn's d.
vision.
"The Democratic State Committee"
he continued. "did not let the women
choose their own representatives: the
chairman Of the state committee picked
them himself, and picked those with
whom he knew he could get along.
Your committee asks the county COM
mittee not to make the same mistake.
The women must be named, not as the
hand-picked choice of the Republican
County Committee, but as the choice
OF the women themselves
Miss Helen Varick Boswell is TO be
the temporary chairman OF the wom-
ems division, which will have charge
Of party organization among Republl-
can women OF New York County until
September and the primaries. The
first member elected in accordance
with the programme Of the Republican
County Committee is Mrs. NJ. /. Ogan,
Of 5l3 West 144th Street, who was
chosen to represent the Twenty-second
Assembly District.
Loses Place With Woman's Party
Mrs. Ogan formerly was leader of the
district in the Woman Suffrage Party.
Bv accepting a similar position with the
Republicans she has severed connection
with the woman's party according to
the cdict Of Mary Garret Hay, who de-
clared that women accepting posts with
another organization must leave the
woman's party.
Mr.. Tanner declared that he had not
the slightest doubt of woman's ability
to enter the political field. The man
rcr in which women handled their cam
paign last fall was enough to convince
any skeptic, he said. and certainly
compared most favorably with the
management of some other campaigns

up.
Reports Called Misleading
At a meeting of thirteen representa-
tives of as many individuals and cor
porations owning apartment houses .
statement was issued declaring tina
the public had been misled by false re
ports of arriving coal, and that thes,
false reports interfered with the con
servation of fuel.
Outside of these contradictory re
ports, yesterday was conceded by every
body a better and more successful dsl
than Wednesday. when only 10000 tons
were said TO have been landed il
greater New York from barges. There
are still some 100000 tons OF anthra
cite held in cars at Jersey tidewatel
terminals. The coal is still frozen

labor TO break the coal and dump il
on 10 barges.
Mr.. Selvaggi said that several of his
clients had reported mob demonstra-
tons on the West Side, following the
announcement by the fuel admins
traitor that cellar dealers had been ac
cused of boarding coal. He said about
forty cellar dealers and cartmen hac
formed an association to buy directly
from the mines. He expected. he said
to close contract by the end of this
week for $4,000 tons weekly in behalf
Of these small dealers. Later the
weekly order would be increased, he
said.
Mr. Schley said he would fix th'
profit margins before the end Of the

ELATED AT BOYD'S DECISION

Members of States Delegation in
Congress Are Pleased With Decis-
ion as to Child Labor Law
Washington Cor, Aug. 81, Green's
boro News.
Senators and Representatives who
are in Washington TODAY are elated
over the decision of Judge Bovd at
greensboro today declaring the Keat-
ing child labor law unconstitutional.
Senator Overman, one of the strong
est supporters of those who fought
the passage of the bill, said tonight
that ne was not surprised at the de-
cision.
II have always contended," said the
Senator, "that the law would be held
unconstitutional. Judge Boyd's decis-
ion confirms the belief I have held
at all times"
Officials Of the Department of
Justice ;1,1 were visibly disappointed.
They had declared ali along that the
law would be upheld by the courts
and only last week sent for District
Attorney w. c. Hammer and allowed
him additional counsel to defend the
case. OF course the department will
take the case to the Supreme court
OF the United States but in the mean
time the old law, allowing children
to be worked in cotton mills will he
continued. It may take years for the
case to get before the Supreme court
though it is believed the Department
OF Justice will ask that the case he
advanced so that the test case NAV
be disposed of speedily.
President Forced the Law
Ihe Heating law would never have
become law but for the pressure
brought to bear on Congress by Pres.
ident Wilson. While the bill wa
pending in the Senate the President
walked into the Presidents room off

Row Over States New Textbooks

NOW over Otdte NV leXtDOOkS
Row, Peterson & Co. of Chicago
secured the contract for furnishing
textbooks for public schools of the
State last spring. Some of the new
readers have been placed on the mar
ket and the B. F. Johnson Publish
ing Co., which also submitted bids
and lost the contract, has raised
the issue that the contract was not
lived up to, that the books are print
ed on inferior paper, 5 Of the Old
books weighing as much as s o. rhe
new, that smaller type is used than
the sample books, and that the mar
gins are narrower. The narrower
margins are accounted for, the State
allowing that style to be used, but
it is not admitted that the srraller
type in which the books have been
printed for their North Carolina edi
ton, the type referring solely to the
North Carolina matter, is a stipu-
lation, arH the alleged inferiority
of the paper is breach of the con-
tract, if the paper is inferior. It
is estimated that more than 10000
readers already have been sent to
the schools and that no doubt ten
times that number have been sent or
are on the way to North. Carolina
1t is expected that a report will be
made by an expert some time THIS
week.

Ouch ? ? /! This kind of rough

if people troubled with corns will
follow the simple advice Of this Gin
cinnati authority, who claims that a
few drops of a drug called freezone
when applied to tender, aching corn
Or hardened callus stops soreness at
once, and soon the corn or callus
dries up and lifts right off without
pain.
He says freezone dries Immediate
ly and never inflames or even irri-
tates the surrounding skin. A small
bottle of freezone will cost very lit
tie at any drug store, but will posi-
lively remove every hard or soft corn
Or callus from ones feet. Millions
of American women will welcome
this announcement since the inaugu-
ration Of the high heels. If your
druggist doesn't have freezone tell
him. to order small bottle for you.
