SEEKS BETTER HOMES
FOR women WORKERS
Mrs. John D. Rockefeller. Jr.. Calls
on Three Secretaries.

Mrs. John d. Rockefeller, jr., yes
terday called on Secretaries Daniels.
Baker and Wilson in the interest of
better housing conditions for women
in industry. Mrs. Rockefeller is a
member Of the Young Women's Chris
tian Association board which has in
charge the building of hostess houses
at army camps and cantonments.
She took up with Secretary Daniels
the question OF providing adequate
living quarters for the hundreds OF
women and girls employed in the gov
ernment clothing factory at Charles
ton. 8. c.
The Y. W. c. A, Mrs. Rockefeller
told Secretary Daniels, has decided TO
erect a large building to take care
of the working women. Present plans
call for an elaborate structure, with
accommodations for 200, and provid-
ing ample recreation advantages.
The Navy Department was asked
to detail an officer to advise the Y.
W. c. A. representatives I'm selecting
site and to see that the proper
drainage and other health safeguards
are provided, Secretary Daniels as
Sured Mrs. Rockefeller that the Navy
Department would be glad to coop
crate.
Housing conditions in general were
discussed by Mrs. Rockefeller on her
calls at the War and Labor Depart
ments. Recreation centers are essen

SENATE WON'T DELAY
Vote ON SUFFRAGE
Committee Chairman Says Bill Will
Be Speeded Up.

The rumor that the vote on the suf-
frage amendment in the Senate has
been indefinitely postponed is entire
ly unfounded, according to Senator
Jones, Of New Mexico, chairman OF
the Woman Suffrage Committee.
Senator Jones has no purpose or wish
to postpone the vote, he declares.
Mrs Carrie Chapman Gait. pres-
dent Of the National Woman Suffrage
Association stated that her organiZa-
ton is anxious to have the amendment
put through the Senate and sent on
its way to the States in time to secure
ratification by those legislatures that
are in session this winter. There are
ten such legislatures, including New
York, whose State senate has just
adopted a resolution asking Senator
Wadsworth and Senator Calder to
vote for the suffrage amendment.
The North Dakota legislature, &C
cording to a telegram received by Mrs.
Gait yesterday. has adopted similar
resolution. asking the North Dakota
Senators to support the suffrage
measure.
THE outlook for passage Of the
amendment is most favorable" says
Mrs. Gait. Recent gains have given
US more solid States in the Senate
than we had in the House, and at least
one of these States is below Mason
and Dixon's line. And they show that
our soldiers, who voted two to one
for woman suffrage in the New York
election, will not return to find their
own country failing to carry out the
principle for which they were sent to
fight in a foreign land"

MANY MOURN
SENATOR FROM
NEW JERSEY
Death of William E. Hughes
. Shock to Associates
in Congress. ~

Both Houses of Congress adjourned
yesterday out Of respect to Senator
William E. Hughes, Of New Jersey,
who died after a lingering illness.
His death again affects the partisan
lineup in the Senate. Even with the
addition of the new Senators-Hender-
son, of Nevada, and Nugent, OF Idaho,
the latter OF whom qualified yester-
day-the Democrats now number but
efty-three to forty-two Republicans.
II is expected that a Republican will
be appointed in the place OF Senator
Hughes
Capitol gossip has it that Gov. Edge.
OF New Jersey. will appoint Franklin
Murphy. former governor OF New Jer-
sey. to fill the vacancy.
Senator Hughes is the fifth Senator
who has died inside of a year. the
others being Newlands, of Nevada;
Brady, of Idaho; Husting, of Wis
consin. and Lane. OF Oregon. All ex-
cept Brady were Democrats.
Republicans are making a big drive
to capture the Senate majority In the
elections. They believe a Republican
will succeed Hollis, of New Hamp-
shire. and that Gov. Capper, of Kan
sas, will defeat Senator Thompson.
Illinois Republicans back Mednl Nc
Cormick to defeat Senator Lewis. The
Republicans also think a Nevada Re-
publican will I'LL the Newlands' va
cancy. now temporarily occupied by
Henderson. And they count upon a
Republican to take Senator Brady's
place.
Joseph P. Tumulty. secretry to the
President. J. Franklin Fort. former
governor Of New Jersey. and Franklin
Murphy are mentioned in gossip con-
cerning a successor to the late Sem
ator Hughes.
Republicans assume that Governor
Edge will appoint a man OF their party
during the interim before the elec-
ton next November. Friends OF Sec
retary Tumulty. while admitting this
as a probability, will strongly urge
him to enter the race at the polls. As
one OF the closest personal friends Of
Senator Hughes, Mr.. Tumulty is
deeply shocked over his death. and
declined last night to discuss the
matter.

NJ 'ADOO BILLS
STRIKE SNAGS
IN CONGRESS
Senate Committee Favors
Leaving the Right to Fix

Committee voted, seven to six. to

rather than turn It over to Director
General McAdoo, as the bill proposes.
In the midst of a determined at
tempt by anti-government ownership
men in the House committee to press
an amendment fixing a definite date
for returning the roads to their pres
ent owners. Chairman Simms ordered
adjournment. II was apparent that
the date-hxing men had a majority
of the committee. as they had Of the
Senate
These forces claimed to have from
the administration an assurance that
IL Congress insists on fixing a definite
date for the carriers return, no at
tempt will be made by the Executive
to change the opinion. The admins
tration, II was claimed, holds that it
made as hard a fight on this point
as Is warranted.
Final Fight Coming.
Final determination of this fight
will come today and Friday. The
Senate committee is ready to give
reconsideration to its vote to fix q
date today. The House committee.
1t has been agreed, will come to no
decision before Friday.
The vote to allow the Interstate
Commerce Commission and State
commissions to retain the rate
making power was as follows: Yea
Democrats: Pomerene, Gore, I'm
derwood; Republicans: Cummins,
Townsend. Mclean, Kellogg. Total
seven. Nay-Democrats: Smith of
s. c., Myers, Robinson, Thompson,
James; Republicans: Poindexter.
Total six.
Senator Underwood introduced
the resolution. Its opponents took
the ground that 1T would be futile
to allow Director General McAdoo
power to route shipments without
allowing him the rate-making pow
er. They said he now has power to
divert shipments where he pleases.
and he should also have the rate
making power.
Representative Barker told the
House committee he intended to fight
the administration maintenance pro-
posals, which, he said, would give
the roads hundreds of millions in i'm
provements. He declared the bill as
now drawn would permit the roads
to build many improvements and ad-
tons, and charge them to the gov
nt-guaranteed maintenance.
Reconsideration Of the vote by
which government control OF rail-
roads is limited to one year after
the war is rumored in the Senate In
terstate Commerce Committee. Tues
day, by a vote of seven to six, the
committee made the Limitation indi-
Gated.
The committee yesterday talked
over the amendment offered by the
administration providing that rail-
roads shall not receive incomes from
the government based on earnings
made from permanent or temporary
improvements installed by the gov
ernment.

M'ADOO FEELS
COAL FAMINE
is CLEARING
Despite Storm Director Is
Confident Fuel Situation
Is Getting Better.

Reports Of railroad conditions. des-
pite the bad weather throughout the
congested area, did not not affect the
optimism Of Director General Nc
Adoo last night over the general rail-
road situation
Although the Fuel Administration
was without wire communication with
its local administrators in most of
the snow-affected territory and was
apprehensive of appeals for relief sup
pressed by the heavy snowfall, Direc-
tor McAdoo was confident coal was
moving and would move quickly
enough to prevent any widespread
misery.
Norfolk has got back to normal
again. he said. and would be able to
handle the New England needs
through the availability of both vesI
sells and coal Special arrangements
were being made by both the rail-
roads and the Fuel Administration to
load this coal.
In New York. also, although the
coal supply there is running fairly
low. there are barges waiting for coal
for the New England territory, and
there Is no drain on the supply for
ounkering ships now, as virtually all
OF the transatlantic shipping that had
been waiting there has been cleared.
supply for New York.
There are 100 cars on their way
to New York from various coal fieIs.
an aggregate OF SO. 900 tons, some of
which is expected to arrive in plenty
or time to preserve a safe margin
OF reserve.
Secretary McAdoo was confident that
IL the storm did not continue and
become worse. there was no alarming
tie-up likely. The Southern roads, he
said, were hardest hit, because of
their lack Of preparedness or facilities
for such unprecedented snowfall in
their territory.
The embargoes on the Pennsylvania,
Baltimore & Ohio and other Eastern
ROADS, he said, were still on, barring
all freight except food. war supplies
and fuel, including oil tank cars.
This embargo. It is intimated, will
continue indefinitely because of the
untoward weather. At the Fuel Ad-
ministration. also. the extension of the
industry embargo OF Monday sus-
pension was talked of as a foregone
probability because OF the minimiza-
tion of its current effect by the snow
and sleet.
Saves Corn Crop.
The government took action last
night to save the nations $4,000
100000 corn crop.
Orders issued by Director General
McAdoo are expected, despite bad
weather, to result in an early
movement Of the grain. much of
which is still on the farms and in
danger of rotting before getting to
the markets.
Farmers are instructed TO appeal
to local food administrators if un-
able to get cars to move their
product. Close cooperation be-
tween the government railroad sys-
tenn and the Food Administration is
planned to assure prompt response
to all appeals.
