In this issue of The Republican will
be found the text of the two proposed
amendments to the Constitution of
the State, one providing for a salary
OF $500 per annum for members of
the General Assembly and an addi-
tlonal salary of SIS per day while that
body is in session. Should this amend
ment be adopted by the voters of
the state it would result in giving each
member of the House a salary of
SlO45 for the term of his office of two
years and mileage amounting, in the
case of members from Garrett county,
OF more than one hundred dollars addi-
tlonal. The present salary is SIS per
day while the House is in session, or
a maximum salary of $3.50 and mile
age for the two years term. The sal
airy of the members of the House will
thus be more than doubled, while the
salary of the Senator will be increased
in like ratio. The other proposed
amendment deals with the salaries of
Clerks of the Courts in Baltimore
City.

Women Election Officers

Women probably will serve as
election officers in November. The
plan is approved by Mrs. Samuel M
Wilson, head of the women's de-
partment of the Democratic cam
paign organization. Mrs. Wilson ar
rived in Louisville Tuesday to take
up her duties i'm connection with
Democratic State headquarters. She
said she had not formulated her
plans, but will make every effort to
get the right women to the polls on
election day. As an inducement to
white women to go to the polls and
vote Mrs. Wilson would give to vot-
ing places the proper atmosphere,
she said. The expedient which
would go as far toward accomplish
ing this end as anything else, in Mrs.
Wilson's opinion, would be that of
women election officers. The ideas
of Mrs. Wilson in that respect are
concurred in by John L. Grayot,
Democratic campaign manager, it is
understood, and it is considered
probable that he will direct Demo-
cratic county workers to see to it
that four of the eight election of
fcers in each precinct are women.

Tumble in Coal
Prices is Forecast

Forecast Of a tumble in coal prices
&as made by the Department Of JUS
tice officials yesterday, coincident
with the announcement Of renewed
activity" in the campaign against
coal profteers.
With production upon the in
crease, prediction was made that
THE coal market would follow sugar
prices in break in the near future.
Prices already have dropped at
Baltimore. where the federal agents
started yesterday to gather evidence
against an alleged combination OF
dealers who were declared to have
boosted prices through repeated re-
sales. A similar attack on prof.
teers has been ordered at Hampton
Roads. Complaints have come from
there and from Baltimore, it was
said.
Although interior points have re-
ported exorbitant coal prices in
many instances, it was stated that
the "hagrant violations" of the
Lever law were confined largely to
the Atlantic coast. The department
will press its Investigations at all
points, however, as a part Of the
program outlined Monday when the
attorney general instructed all
H1nited States attorneys to delve in
to the coal price situation more
deeply upon the basis Of informa-
ton that pyramiding of prices had
been accomplished through inter-
trade salese
II. S. Mitchell, special assistant
to the attorney general, said he be-
lieves public sentiment has begun to
react against coal profiteers to the
extent that it would force a lowering
of prices. The break in quotations
at Baltimore, together with expect
ed reductions at other points, was
expected to mean real benefit to
the consumer.
Fderal reserve board officials al
so reported Indications of an i'm
pending drop in the coal market.
Their information was that trans
portation conditions with respect to
coal had improved and that there;
fore there would be better distribu
ton. This of itself, according to
the opinion of Department of JUS
Atice officials, should aid the price
reduction movement.
Temporary conditions have handi-
capped certain sections of the
country with respect to their regu-
lar supply with the result, accord
ing to Mr.. Mitchell, that higher
prives have been asked. Federal
attorneys at these places, however,
were said to be in close touch with
such situations and were prepared
to act if there vas evidence that
dealers were taking advantage Of
the shortage.
