LITTLE OPPOSITION
TO SUFFRAGE BILL
Measure Will Be Reported
, Next Week, and Liquor Ques-
ton Also Before House

Harrisburg. April 3.-Representative
William T. Ramsey. Republican leader
Of the House. predicted today that the
suffrage resolution providing for an
amendment to the constitution giving
women the right to vote in Pennsyl-
vania would be reported TO the House
next week.
The resolution, which has the sup
Fort OF the Governor. is marked for
passage and undoubtedly will have lit
tie opposition. In predicting this, Mr..
Ramsey pointed out that the tactics
of the lobbies maintained by both the
suffragists and the antis have been
vastly different than in former years.
There has been no bulldozing of mem
bers by either supporters or opponents
of the measure. In fact, the suffrage
night, like the suffrage hearing, lacked
xest
Despite the attitude of the Governor
on the subject of legislation 20 enforce
the prohibition amenoment. Mr.. Ramsey
said today he would keep the bills
defining alcoholic beverages as liquors
containing not more than "a per cent
alcohol before the House for the pur-
pose of giving the Pennsylvania Legis-
Iature an opportunity to express its
will on the subject.
A great deal of opposition has de-
velope0 against the rent bill introduced
by Representative Walker. The bill
provides that tenants may appeal TO
the courts when asked to pay eXorbl-
tant rentals. Several members of the
committee on Judiciary General declare
the bill affects property rights and
should be amended.
A public hearing will be held on the
theatre ticket scalping bills next Friday
IN Philadelphia before a subcommittee
OF the Ways and Means Committee.
There are three such bills before the
Assembly. one of which was introduced
by Senator Daix. The others are spon-
sored by Representatives Colder and
Cans. both Of Philadelphia.

BOARD PROPOSED
TO FIX SALARIES
Representative Would Have
City Officials Decide OH
Employees Pay
RAPS PRESENT SYSTEM
Increase Measures Now Merely
Boost State Printing Cost,
Dunn Says

4 board headed by the Mayor, EN-
powered to fix tho salaries of all Off
cials and employees OF the city, is pro-
Dunn.
Mr.. Dunn said that next week In the
House he will introduce bill providing
for such a board. consisting Of the
Mayor. the City Solicitor, the city Con-
troller. a Select Councilman and n Com
mon Councilman
His proposal closely follows the veto
ing by Governor Sproul of a bill in
creasing from $4,000 to $4,000 the salary
Of william II. kreider, secretary of the
Civil Service Commission.
Represc Dunn said that every
two years scores of bills are introduced
IN the Legislature providing for salary
increases for Philadelphia officials Nine
out of every ten Of these bills he added,
serve no purpose except to increase the
states printing bill. 1t Is his opinion
that IL such a bill as he will propose Is
enacted, a great deal of expense will be
saved and the board will be able to de-
eide the merits of requests for salary
| increases without infictng that duty
upon the Legislature.
Mr.. Dunn also proposes to introduce a
bill next week providing that the state
shall cooperate with the city of Phila-
delphia IN Commemorating the, nation s
| birth on July 4. next His measure will
ask that the state appropriate $4,000
/ toward defrayinE the costs of the 1nde-
pendenCc Day celebration.

New York. May 27.-Dealings on the

gin to equal yesterdays 1000, COOS share

two years.
Frequent periods OF uncertainty marked
the session, due mainly to the approaching

ments of the day bore little direct rea-
ton to market conditions. apart from the
further expansion Of brokers loans, which
doubtless accounted for the firmer money
tendencies.
Motors and associated specialties, also
steeis and equipments, were once more the
chief elements Of speculative interest but
rails were more active and metals made oc-
casional response to reports of arrival
OF foreign demand.
Tobacco and food shares asserted some
OF their recent prominence in the later
dealings, but shippings, excepting Marine
common and United Fruit, moved within
narrow limits Oils moved in a two to

gains and losses.
Such specialties as U. s. Rubber. Amer

cohol and chemical and fertilizer issues
furnished much of the strength of the
final hour with Southern Pacific.
Changes among steels were mostly nom
