WIRE AND FREIGHT
RATE SUITS HEARD
Right of Wire and Railroad Ad-
ministrations to Fix Intra-
State Charges Involved in
Suits Filed. e..

Washington, May 5.-The supreme
court today heard arguments in five
suits involving the rights of the rail
road and wire administrations to fix
rates over the objections Of the various
state utilities and corporation commits
sions.
The attacks on the railroad admin
istration's exercise of power came from
North Dakota, where the state SUI
preme court held that the president,
acting through the. director general
of railroads, did not have the right to
set "intrastate" rates but only Inter
state rates.
The wire suits were brought from
South Dakota, Massachusetts, Illinois,
and Kansas. John Il. Price, attorney
general for Ohio, also filed brief al
Though there is no suit pending from
that state.
| Both the railroad and wire suits set
up the same contention as to why the
power of rate fixing, as exercised by
the federal government, should be
abrogated.
POWER QUESTIONED
They claim that congress does not
have the power and did not intend that

| interfere with the purely state pow
ers; that the exercise OF 'intrastate"
rate fixing functions is state police
power and that the rate fixing power
of the federal government covers only
interstate rates.
The government contends that it's
wire powers are broad enough to cover
every sort of rate-fiXing that rate fix
ing is not a police power and that even
| If it were, 1t could not conflict with
the federal power. and that IL con-
gress meant to preserve to the states
their right to fix purely "lntrastate''
rates there would have been 81 provision
to that effect in the railroad and wire
acts.
The wire suits on behalf of Post
master General Burleson set UP the
additional claims that suits are against
the United States government and
therefore should not be entertained by
the court at all.

WOMEN RECEIVE FULL
REPUBLICAN RIGHTS
Obtain Same Status in Affairs of
Party That Has Been Held
by the Men.

Women of the republican party will
be on an equal footing with the men,
and republican clubs exclusively for
women will not be recognized by the
party except where new conditions of
suffrage require a temporary organi-
cation of the women
This plan has been agreed to by the
republican women's national execu-
tive committee and Will H. Hays,
chairman of the republican national
committee, with the further provision
that state central committees shall be
qualified to say what. temporary or
CARNATIONS of women shall be recog-
nized.
The status of women in the party
machinery was discussed at the final
meeting of the women's committee
late yesterday at Wardman Park Inn,
held. Mr.. Hays was present.
Three conferences were held earlier
in the day-one of delegates from
states where women have been en-
franchised. another of delegates
where they have been partly enfran-
states where the women have no vote
whatever. All meetings of the COM
mittee have been executive.
Chairman Hays, in an interview with
the Washington newspapermen last
evening, told of the new plan of the
republican organization to enlist the
aid Of woman workers for the cause.
Hereafter, he said. the women will be
recognized as part of the national or
ganization and not auxiliary. y
Chairman Hays asserted that an ex-
ira session of Congress should have
been called March 5. He said that the
republican party realizes it has three
or four years of hard reconstructive
work ahead of 1t. but feels equal to
the task.
