The matter OF equal suffrage will
be introduced at the present extra
ordinary session OF the general as
aembly by the leaders of the National
Woman's party. il they are permitted
to do 80. Mrs. Charles v. Meredith,
OF Richmond, is the head of the local
branch. 1t is understood that the
National Woman's party is anxious to
have immediate action BY the legisla-
ture of Virginia on ratification Of the
federal amendment.
Mrs. Lila Meade Valentine, presi-
dent OF the Equal Suffrage League Of
Virginia. who is now spending some
time in New England, before leaving
Virginia published a statement say
ing that the suffrage league would not
press for ratification of the amend
ment at this time should the legis-
lature confine its elaboration wholly
to road bills.
Mrs, Lewis, OF Lynchburg. first
vice-president of the Equal Suffrage
league. Is now in Richmond. 1t is
understood that Mrs. Lewis is in
agreement with Mrs. Valentine that
the present extra session of the legis-
lature should coniine it's work to road
legislation. If.> however. the law
makers introduce bills Of miscellane
Gus character bearing on multitude
CT subejcta, It il safe to say that the
Equal Suffrage league will press for
ratification of the Federal suffrage
amendment at the present session.

CONGRESS BUCKLES ON ARMOR
FOR BATTLE WITH PROFITEER
Swift & Co., Makes
Explanation Of the
System Of Storage

Chicago. Aug. 14.-The great sup
plies of food now held in storage are
RACED there for use during seasonal
shortages. according to Louis r.
swift. president Of Swift and company.
In commanding today upon the agita-
ton In favor Of confiscation Of stocks
of food. Mr.. Swift said:
swift and company denies thar the
foodstuns which It is holding In eror-
age have been put there for specula-
tive purposes. Cold storage performs
real economic service not generally
appreciated by the public. The pres
ent system has been evolved by the
public demand--they want some of
this produce throughout all the year.
That 10 to say they do not want TO
eat all their eggs in six months and
then go without during the remainder
Of the year.
If 1t were not for cold storage
much OF the perishable food produced
during the months OF heavy production
would be lost because the supply
would temporarily exceed the demand
and prices would fall 30 low that
production would be discouraged.
Later without storage stocks to draw
from . serious shortage OF these COM
modities would occur with resultant
high prices. Nobody would benefit
from such a situation and consumers
would pay much higher average
priceA.
Swift and company does not pur-
chase and store goods for speculation.
but merely to assure our branch
houses of Z supply sufficient to meet
the needs Of their trade throughout
the year.
III stocks Of butter. eggs and ether
commodities are commandeered and
thrown on the market there il little
question but that current prices Will
be forced down temporarily. but
where will your butter and eggs come
from next winter when these storage
stocks normally would be used to-
bridge over these months OF small
production:
Finally the public does not Appre-
cite that the apparently large stocks
OF meat In storage are not being held
there until prices are increased. but
are really In the process OF manufac-
ture. Over so per cent OF the foods In
cold storage Is meat ana meat pro-
duets. according to the government
report OF the bureau Of markets Tor

when analysed in the light Of these

A call for q Democratic caucus to
he held at 8 O'Clock on the evening
ct August 20, for the purpose of
ciecttng judges to the vacancies in
four circuit and corporation courts
was issued yesterday in both branches
OF the legislature The date is coin
cident with the effective date of the
resignation OF Judge A. E. King from
the corporation court of Roanoke.
The question oi the legality of
e'ecting a successor to Judge Stafford
G. Whittle, whose resignation from
the Supreme Court of Appeals does
rot, take effect until January 1, will
&c fought out at this time.
Factions to support and oppose the
election of the supreme court judge
at this session of the legislature form
ing In both houses. Assistant At
torney-General Josiah ID. Hank. Jr..
expressed the opinion yesterday that
the election at this session was legal,
cut qualified the remark by saying
that he had given the matter no con-
elderation and was not at all sure
A we'll known attorney who is a
member Of the senate answered a
question as to the legality of such pro-
cedure by asserting firmly that it was
not.
There are three candidates for the
5udgeship, Judge Jesse F. West,
Judge OF the Third Judicial circuit:
Judge Robert G. Southall, judge of
the Fourth judicial district. and
Judge e. W. Saunders OF Rocky
Mount. member Of congress from the
nth district
Each Of the three has considerable
support in the senate, with Judge
Saunders reputed to have the largest
following. Senator J. Z. West. OF
SUFFOLK. Is the brother Of Judge West.
Senator Hening was in receipt yes
terday Of resolution from the board
OF supervisors of Chesterfield county
endorsing Judge Southall.
The faction opposing the election
st this session are enlarging on the
Possibility OF Judge Whittle with
drawing his resignation before it be-
comes effective, and wondering
what the outcome would be, IL his
successor be already named by the
body.
