Suffrage Ratified
by Three States

The fact that the ratification OF
the Suffrage Amendment is likely to
break all records for speed is indi-
Gated by the promptness and unanimi-
ty with which the State Legislatures
in session are taking favorable ac-
tion and also with which the govern
ofs of other States are calling spec
ial sessions of legislatures for such
purpose Already three states-Illi-
nois. Wisconsin and Michigan-have e
ratified the amendment, Illinois be-
ing the first SO to act. 1t is expect
ed that New York will take similar
action 81 onday. and that most Of the
other '4tates will quickly follow. The
speed with which this amendment rs
being made part of our fundamen-
tai law-the Federal Constitution
is gratifying not only becauce it will
give to the women of America a
right to which they have long been
clearly entitled. but also because it
vividly illustrates the fact that our
institutions are not so
hard and rigid as some seem to feel,
but are susceptible to speedy adap-
ton to the changing and broadening
needs of the American people Our
Constitution is proof against med
ding but it may at any time be read
lily moulded into such form as is nee
essary to meet the real desires Of
the great body of our people.

that all who helped to make the af.
fair success are happy and have had
most enjoyable time Of it for the
three days.
The minstrel Friday night was a
complete success with but one excep-
tion-and that was due to the inclem-
ency of the weather, which prevented
a larger crowd from turning out to
see it. For that reason. the commit
tee has been requested to repeat the
show on next Wednesday night. and

and all who have seen the show are
invited to come again as we'll as those
who did not see it.
The feature of Saturdays pro-
gram was the dance at the City Hall.
Of course. there were the booths and
refreshment stands, but the crowd
thought mostly of dancing. and the
strains of the jazz band were so en-
ticing that none could resist the
temptation.
Yesterday was the big day on the
program. Everything was in full
swing. and everyone were imbued
with happy feeling and good fell

Urges All to Boost Fourth OF
July Celebration for Soldiers
and Sailors in this City

Pass the word" is the request
made by the chairman of the publici-
ty committee of the big Fourth of
July Homecoming Celebration to
be held in this city next month in
honor of the boys from this section
who served during the war. "Pass
the word down the line to your
friends. Get up on the boosters
wagon and pull for the success of the
big event"
i Contributions continue to come in
and daily the list of names of those
who want to show the boys a good
time on the nations birthday grows
bigger and bigger. Is your name on
this list? If not you had better get
in touch with one OF the banks at
once and put yourself down for
donation to the fund for financing
the affair. Don't let the boys say
that you are 'piker" because the
boys don't think much of a piker.
And furthermore. this is your own
celebration as much as anybody
else's. You are a part of this COM
munity. vital part, and it is the
community's affair. Get in the
swim at once-the boys are watching
the list from day to day.
Five new names are added to the
list today sending the total up to
1922. In view of the hearty re-
sponse which the appeal is meeting
with. the executive committee feels
that the event will be great success. |
1t is the only celebration of its kind |
to be held in this section, and for
that reason many visitors will be an
ticipated. Soldier boys from other
parts are invited to come over and
spend the day here. 1t is planned to
send evry visitor home with a kind
lv ceiling in their hearts for Morgan
City.
Here is the list. Watch it grow 1t

NEW STATION FOR

Norfolk, June 1T.--Hereafter the
Virginia Beach and Cape Henry divi-
sions will make the Union Station
their terminal and leave City Hall
avenue free for other traffic
The removal OF the cars from City
Han avenue was decided upon by
railroad officials after the city man
ager had insisted that they give up
their temporary permit, which has
been in operation since 1905. and
make other arrangements, 1t was
hoped that the railroad would take
advantage of it's Cove street franchise
and build terminal on that street.
The management of the railroad
however decided to make the Union
Station the terminal, and after to-
day the patrons Of the lines will leave
from that point.

DISMISSAL Of B. R. 7.
WOMEN UNNECESSARY

Washington, June i6-feder
backing for the contention that it Is
not necessary for the Brooklyn Rapid
Transit company To dismiss its women
employees in order TO comply with
the new state law prohibiting night
work for women is contained in
statement filed today by Miss Mary
Van kleeck, director OF the Woman
in Industry service of the l.. s De-
partment of Labor. with the state in
dustrial commission of New York.
The statement is based upon the re-
suits of Investigations conducted by
experts OF the federal woman's bureau
in cooperation with the state COM
mission, and sets forth conditions in
/ Chicago where women ticket agents
have been successfully employed. on
F., day shifts only. ever since the present
| transit system was established.
| The plan as operated in Chicago.
| provides for seniority rights for men
and women both there being 476
| women ticket agents and 343 men so
/ employed on the Chicago car lines,
/ all on eight hour shifts. and all re-
ceivinS the same wage namely, $500
| per day. Extras are paid ISIS cents
per hour: which is the same rate as
the regulars This plan exists. Miss
!
where there is no law prohibiting
night work for women
! Miss Van Kleecks statement. in
! brief, is as follows
| Women have been successfully en-
| ployed as ticket agents in Chicago
since the establishment Of the present
transit system. They work shifts OF
eight hours with the prohibition OF
night work voluntarily adopted by the
company in agreement with the trade
union. The womens work is limited
to two shifts falling within the hours
of the day. The seniority rights OF
all the workers which give the
privilege of choice of shift are main
list for men and another for women.
The men are entitled to select their
shifts AS their length Of service per-
mts and the only difference between
! their seniority rights and that OF
women is that the women are not
permitted TO select the night shift
On the other hand the prohibition
OF night work for women does not
compel the man to work exclusively
at night since within the mems list
the choice of day shifts becomes pos
sible. That this plan should have
been adopted as a practical working
scheme when the Illinois law would
have permitted night work Is very
significant in showing the practica-
bility OF adjustment to comply with
| a night work law while retaining
women on the position Of ticket
agents,
