This is read as a most untmpor-

Jupiter is in a mildly benehc aspect
During this confguration there
may be distractions to effort rather

Jupiter gives a little stimulus TO

classes of men and women to con-

investments in Liberty loans and
war savings stamps as a measure
OF wisdom as well as a policy Of
patriotism.
Owing to war exisencies there
will be much walking and other
physical exercise. the stars indicate
and this may be due to the with
drawsl OF vehicles from common
use as well as to other causes.
Many new lines Of business will
be started with the year 1919. 1t Is
prophesied.
Labor continues under sway
making for growing success in all
its altruistic demands.
Legislative bodies will concern
themselves greatly with industrial
problems. particularly after Janu-

Thrift is to be one OF the lessons
best learned from the war. astrol-
ogers declars. and many who set
examples in the wise administration
of money may come across the

may be interpreted as a prophecy
that many soldiers will return with

WOMEN CALLED
TO CONFERENCE
Organized Workers Will
Discuss Industrial Prob
lens Here.

The first conference of organized
women workers ever called by the
federal government will be held in
Was shington, October 4 and s. to dis
cuss the problems surrounding wo-
men in industry. The call is issued
by Miss Mary Van Kleeck. director
of the Woman-in- Industry Service of

conference will be held on the ninth
floor of the Southern Building, in
which the Woman-in-Industry Serv-
ice has its offices.
Foremost among the problems that
will come up for discussion. accord
ing to Miss Anderson, who. a trade
union woman herself, is in charge CT
the arrangements for the conference,
will be the application Of the princi-
pie Of equal pay for equal work by
women and men. proper sanitation
In factories and workshops. and the
employment OF women In hazardous
Industries. Trade union women de-
mand, II is stated, equal pay not OILY
for identical work but work that is
of equal skill or value 10 that done
by men. There is said to be a
strong feeling also that wage adjust

pay for women should adopt the
same basis they apply for men-that
is to say, fair minimum not only
for the support of a woman alone but
for a woman with dependents. jBst
as for a man with dependents, since

SEEK VOTE ON
SUFFRAGE now
Women Urge Senate to Ac,
Upon Measure for Rec
ord Tally.

The leaders of the suffrage organi-
zations were last night contendlng
for a record vote of the Senate on
the suffrage amendment even in the
face Of certain defeat.
This Is a distinct change Of atti-
tude on the part of the National
woman's Suffrage Association which
has hitherto been content with post
ponement of q vote from time to time
until the passage of the measure
could be assured.
There can only be one meaning in
the stand OF the suffrage leaders for
vote that will defeat the measure,
and that is to definitely peg the op-
ponents of the woman suffrage
attempt to encompass their defeat
and put only suffrage sympathizers
on guard In the Senate.
Warning to Democrats.
Alice Paul. leader of the National
Woman's party. issued a solemn
warning to the Democratic Senators
that a vote against the suffrage
amendment would mean a Republican
majority in the next Senate. The
Woman's Suffrage Association has not
yet INDUCED in such gloomy predic-
tions. but has never made any secret
Of the fact that II will use all its
influence to replace anti-sufrrage Sem
ators with those who will support the
constitutional amendment.
1t is certain that the Republican
Senators, regardless of their views or
their votes on the measure. will well
come a record vote. because II will
show thirty-two Republican Senators
In favor OF the measure and will
give them good campaign material In
the coming elections.
Many Democrats who favor the
measure will not oppose a vote be-
cause they are willing to have each
Senator go on record and claim that
the vote will show that there is no
politics in the Senate's attitude on
woman suffrage. as the vote will sure
ly show.
There will be conferences tomorrow
morning on the disposition of the
measure. 1t will be the last chance
to bring the amendment to a vote
with a full attendance OF the Senate.
Senator Lodge. Republican leader, has
declared that there will be no vote
unless there is a full attendance in
the Senate. and in this stand he is
backed by Majority Leader Martin, OF
Virginia.

WOMEN OBJECT
TO VOTE ORDER
Rule Limiting Their Voice
in Labor Matters Ex-
cites Criticism.

Assistant Director General N. A
Smyth, Of the United States EN-
ployment Service, who in the alb
sence OF Director General Densmore
issued General Order B-7 in regard
to the placing OF women workers and
the establishment Of community
la abor boards, is under a dre OF criu
cism and protest from women all
over the country. according to infor-
nation received at the Washington
Headquarters OF the National Wo-
mems Trade Union League.
Individual women leaders, state
suffrage associations and various
other women's organizations have
filed protest with the Secretary Of
Labor against the paragraph pre-
scribing the powers Of women mem
bers Of the community labor boards
recently established By the United
States Employment Service -ll over
the country. The paragraph in Ques-
ion reads:
Upon all questions concerning the
utilization OF women in industry. the
two women members OF the COM
munity labor board shall have full
voting powers. They shall be eK-
officio and non-voting members of
the board in respect to other mat
ters. but shall be invited to attend
all meetings of the board"
violates Equal Rights.
This restriction. according to of
GERS Of the Natiopal Women's Trade
Union League, is Objectionable, first,
because 1t is fundamental viola
ton OF the principle of equal rights.
As an objection in its practical ap-
plication. they cite especially the de-
NAL of the right of the women men,
bers of the board to vote on the per-
sonnel of the local employment offices,
As to this they fear that the
result will be both the neglect OF
women's interests If left entirely ir
the hands of men, and the abuse OF
the community labor boards for politi.
cal ends.
Mr.. Smyth Is said to have replied
to the women's protest by saying that
the limiting Of women's voting powers
on the community boards Is "a mere
matter Of administrative detail. 8
side ISSUE" and a point which to hi.
mind "is largely academic" The
purpose in excluding the womer
members from voting on any subject
other than those affecting the utiliza
ton OF women in industry. he asserts
Is to relieve them from other respon-
sibilities and enable them to give
| their undivided energies to this grest

American girls are acting as letter

Moore, Of Butte. Mont, and Miss
Miriam Blagden. OF New York.
The young women began their
career as mail carriers during the
first week in June when the Germans
first began making their drive on

and the congestion of the roads.
which were carrying munitions to the
front made the mail problem difficult
and the French government was glad
to avail itself OF the services Of these
three girls.
