WHY OPPONENTS PREVENT V0TE 0N EQUAL SUFFRAGE Failure to Vote Results in NOnpassange of Resolution Due to Lack of a
 Quorum
By Associated Press

Washington, February 5.-Strat- cry of opponents of equal suffrage ! was said to have prevented for maI record vote on endorsement of the Susan B. Anthony suffrage n constitutional amendment resolu- tion at a conference tonight of demOcratic senators.
 After more than two hours of debate. Senator Jones of New Mexico proposed Endorsement of the constitutional amend
 ment measure. Twenty Senators voted
 favorably. but all of the opponents re- trained from voting and Senator Martin,
 the democratic leader, who presided, de-
 clared that the resolution was not adopt cd. because quorum was not present Before the vote on the Jones proposal l, . motion of opponents of the resolution pto adjourn was defeated 23 to II.

 DEBATE GROWS VIOLENT
 The political expediency of acting on
 the suffrage amendment was the prin ' cipal theme of debate, which was marked by its vehemence. At times Senators spoke so loud that their voices rever- ' berated through the thick doors of tht conference room and echoed through tho corridors.
 \ Advocates of the resolution argued that the fortunes of the democratic party would be aided by favorable action or \ the equal suffrage question, and sait that if it was defeated future politica benefits would be received by the repub | lican party. Opponents were said to have contended that political expediency should not be a factor in so serious { matter as amending the constitution. The meeting. the first held by th democratic Senators during the war broke up in roar of laughter over thu ruling of Senator Martin on the poih of no quorum on the final vote. was announced that one more re cruit for the suffrage resolution hat been gained in Senator Pollock of Soul Carolina, who spoke in it's support. Friends of the resolution said privatel! that it would be brought before the Sen ate next Monday with at least 63 of tn AD6 votes assured in its favor. This woult
 be one short of the required two-thirds (jbut advocates expressed confidence tha

ALL BUILDING IN
 NEW YORK IS TIED UP BY LOCKOUT
Unless Difficulty Immediate ly Adjusted Nationwide Strike Threatened By
 Builders
By AssocIatet PFess

New York, February 5.-vir-
 tuaIIy all building operations In
 this city were tied up today by
 lockout declared by members of
 the Building Trades Employers
 association, according to an an,
 announcement here tonight by
 William J. Bowen of Indianapolis.
 president of the International Un-
 lon of BrickIaycrs, MasOns and
 Plasterers. Mir. Bowen, who arr
 rived in New York today, said his
 purpose in coming here was to pre-
 vent the lockout becoming nation
 wide.
 According to Bowen. more than 2o,o0o workers in this city are affected by the lockout Unless the difficulty is ad- iusted immediately. he said, 1t will be followed by strike throughout the United States and Canada which will eventually affect two million men em- ployed in the building trades.
 Bowen asserted that the lockout fol- lowed unsuccessful attempts by the union to arbtrate differences with employers which he sai6 had existed since Novem- Der. when carpenters went on strike for
 
 William Dobsou. secretary of the union. came here for that purpose from In- dianapolis last Monday he declared UNION EFFORTS UNAvAILING
 In his statement Bowen asserted that although the board of governors of the Builders association had been approached fin oonciliatory spirit" union officials had difficulty in obtaining an interview. Finally. however, one was arranged, he said, and two other conferences held later, the last this afternoon. Efforts of the union looking toward arbitration had been met, he declared. by announcement of an arbitrary lockout.
 Bowen appealed in his statement to "the speculating and investing public" to aid in settling the difficulties, declaring there are great construction needs in this city. particularly in the line of apartment houses.
 Finally, Bowen declared that thousands of soldiers, members of the union, will soon return from France. expecting to be employed here on construction work. Ttey will be left jobless unless the lock- ous is ended. he asserted
 Members Of the Builders association admitted tonight that a meeting had been held at headquarters in the afternoon, They declined to say what action. if any, had been taken there. saving such infor- mation must come from officers of tas organization.

JOB FOR EVERY SOLDIER

In this connection he declared 1t to be "an unthinkable thing that any sol dier who put on the uniform of his country and either fought or was in training to fight in this war. will be
 allowed to remain without a job if
 he wants one. The chambers of com
 merce af this country, the chambers
 of industry. the large captains of in- dustry. the organizations of manu- facturers, everybody in this country owes this to the men who made me country safe.'
 Secretary Daniels declared that the rail- roads broke down under their increased burden after America entered the war, while "the waters have run idly to the sea-" and said the railroads 'naturally broke down because they were built on a peace time programme based on the de- struction of water traffic.
 No matter what the national policy re- garding transportation should be, MT. Daniels said, water and rail transporta- ton must go hand in hand, and not one bale of cotton nor ton of ore nor carload Of steel should go by rail if water trans portation was available.

 Endorsing the purposes of the con gress, Secretary Baker and Secretary Daniels urged against the competl- tive warfare which has prevented full use of the waterways for transporta- ton in the past and both predicted an era of industrial expansion. In this connection they discounted the fear of bolshevism in this country, the na val secretary saying there "is no more danger of bolshevism taking hold in America than there Is of the Kaiser entering the streets of Washington.
 Secretary Baker in duscussing the relation of waterways to the war and to the financial burden put on the nations of the world by the war. said improvements of rivers and harbors would be a material factor in increas- ing foreign commerce for which ships now were being built.

Mrs.. Wilson WoodroW's Article
BY MRS. WILSON WOODROW,
The world famous writer on vital subjects.

I might enumerate a long list Of &C.
equations in which you could engage
after finishing your college course, but
what good would II do you? You would
read them over and say, II might like
this" or Il do not think I should like
that" and you would be exactly where
you were before.
You will be in college several years.
Since you are so undecided at present,
why not take the time to boone &C.
quainted with yourself, as well Us in
devoting yourself to your studies?
This is your situation, as I gather it
from our letter. You mean after you
leave college to- earn you W living.
Naturally you want congenial and re-
munerative work, but you haven't the
least idea what 1t is going to be.
What you need now is to enlarge
your point Of view. AZ present you are
considering only the most over-crowded
of the professions. There Is no room
in any Of them for a young person who
is not impelled by a powerful inclina-
ton, a feeling within her that this is
the one thing in the world for her,
and that in 1t she would find her deep
est joy and greatest interest. II she
Is not willing to give up her whole life
to it, it Is useless to enter 1t and expect
to succeed. ,a
lou cannot put your manu- lnIO d HAT
and pull out a slip of paper with some
profession written on it, and say: well.
here is what l have drawn. / might as
we'll go ahead with it; it will do as
well as anything else Shining sue
cess does not lie that way, and you will
only find in the end that you have
laid up some years Of bitter disappoint-
ment for yourself.
But you are very young, and while
you are in your present state of mind.
why try to decide offhand? Take time
to it. You may nave it in you tosbe an
actress or an architect or a designer OF
hats or a dozen things that you are
not thinking Of now Make the most
Of your college life. Get out of 1t all
there is in it, and at the same time
cultivate a wider knowledge of that
atom Of humanity that Is so Vita
to yourself.
Don't get discouraged. 1t is no .es-
pecial loss II you don't hit upon the
right thing Immediately. Someone may
say something to you that will sud
denly illumine the way; or opportunities
may open-they always do to those who
are looking for them. Your real bent is
bound to manifest itself sooner or later;
so do not take the matter too seriously
il it does not do so all at once.
The news scimitar. (Memphis, Tenn.) 1907-1926, 1919-11-15

Most Of the axioms on success in life
could be boiled down into one state
ment: Find out what you really want
to do, and then do 1t.
OF course this is capable of some ex-
PLANTATION and elaboration. The thing,
whatever 1t Is, that you are fitted to
do well must not be confused with the
whim Of the moment, or what you think
you might like to do because someone
you know is making a success at it,
1t is the bent OF your nature, the thing
you like and understand and instine-
lively inc that you car do well.
But many persons are in a sort of a
fog. They have SO far failed to realize
or recognize their own innate capacity.
A girl who is laundering along in this
way, trying to find herself, has written
me a letter which expresses the state
of mind of many young people in the
same quandary, She says:
II should consider it a great favor
il you wrote an article on professions
open to women, just a rapid survey
of the field.
Il am beginning my college course
and l am rather curious to see where
to be no field open to me. ! like writ
ing a bit, but l could not rely on my
ability in that direction. Then there
is reporting, but ] am not obserVant
enough for that. l dislike the idea OF
teaching and nursing, and I should not
care for business. l couldn't be a doctor
or a lawyer.
Are there any other professions?
There doesn't seem to be any for me.
l like Latin and psychology, but what
can | do with them? / see l am not
going to earn bread and jelly, just medi-
tating over it. It's a perfect puzzle
knowing what to do with this atom OF
humanity SO vital to me-"
My dear girl, all professions are open
to women. Make no mistake about
that. Any today can take ur
any work for which she feels herself
fitted, and there is none to say to her,
nay. !,
You are probably a clever, intelligent
girl who Is going through college, either
because you are interested in keeping
up your studies, or because you rela-
| tives and friends think 1t best for you
You are laying a foundation which will
undoubtedly be of great. benefit to you
in the future. If it broa6ens your mind
and stimulates YOU appreciation of the
best that has been thought in the
world, that alone is sufficient. But witt
no goal in sight, you lose much of the
interest and enthusiasm you could 9TH
erwise put into your work.

GIVE THE DEMOCRATS
REPRESENTATION ON BOARD

The regrettable death. of Capt I'M. Brackin, of Dversburc
producedia vacancy on the state board OF elections, of which he
was, chairman, and brings to attention the fact, so apparent in
the recent election, that the Democracy OF Shelby county is with
out representation,
The three members OF the Shelby county board do not al
tAiate with the Democratic organization nor with the majority
vt the Democrats OF the county. They represent a small and
discordart noise with little strength at the polls.
1t IS hoped that the two remaining members OF the state
board. upon whom rests the responsibility of filling the vacancy
until the Legislature assemblies, will have the fairness to select a
man. preferably a Memphian. who will give the dominant party
in Shelby county at least some representation. The state board
should not pack the local election board against the Democrats
OF this county in municipal and county elections, and then ex-
pect them to furnish the votes necessary to overcome the Re
publican majority in East Tennessee in state elections
