Association Opposed to Woman Suffrage
TODAY received word from national head
Quarters in New York City, concerning
nlans that are being made in case a sufbci-
emf number OF States should ratify the
Anthony amendment to the constitution of

Mary G. kilbreth the president writes
that if that point is reached, that some of
the best constitutional attorneys in the
United States would at once institute
legal action TO test the constltutionality
of the action, which would likely hold up
the result of the coming Presidential
election in tho fall. President kilbreth
states in her letter:
Anti suffrage women arc Watching
calmly, the premature suffrage jubilation
in Chicago and the progress of the cam
paign to stampede the people representa-
tives to ratify the Susan h Anthony force
bill, confident that grant of woman s
suffrage over the heads Of the people by
Legislative act is q pure gamble on the
part of the suffrage leaders, undertaken
on the chance Of going unchallenged by y
demoralized public.

well as we know. that suffrage by legisla-
tive grant cannot stand the tests IN the
courts that will inevitably ensue; that these
cases should ratification be obtained In

The Public Safety Committee of the
Delaware Safety Council calls to the
attention of every automobile owner
that the law requires all machines to show
lights from ono hour after sundowp until
one hour before sunrise, whether cars are
parked or being operated.
Vigilantes of the Public afcty Com

Market street and other principal streets
of the city parked after nightfall without
any light showing. The owners OF many
of these machines evidently thought that
because they were parked in brilliantly
lighted places in the streets they were
relieve of the necessity OF showing lights
n their cars. This law has been n part
of the ordinance of the city of Wilmington
for considerable time, and it was passed

safety Oh the thoroughfares.
The Public Safety Committee Of the
Delaware Safety Council earnestly asks
all automobile owners cooperate with
thu Police Departmer in seeing that this
law is strictly obeyed.

struggle against high prices.

clared, "big business has succeeded in
magnifying the defects and obscurinr
or discrediting the benefits of publicly
controlled and managed enterprises.
The people have been bamboozled into
rrelinquishing all effective control over
distribution and prices of food and
fuel, and they have been made to ap-
pear to clamor for the return to private
management of public utilities. Con-
gross is pursuing the policy of 'scuttle'
with most unhappy results"
DR.. Meeker said profiteering was the
result and not the cause of high prices.
Increase of prices, he stated, was to
be attributed to doubling of the GUAM

quantity of goods.

PARIS, April 1o-Arguments that

Those who have made a study Of Tho
French worker and know his Inherent
antlpathy to being converted into a
machine for automatic action are NOT
surprised by the conclusion that pro-
duction is decreased in exact propor
ton to the reduction in the hours of
labor
In the merchant marine it has been
found necessary to increase the per.
sonnet so per cent; the woodworking
industry. in which the working hours
were reduced 25 per cent, has lost 40
per cent of it's output, and makers Of
bicycles, carriers and other similar
machines have found their production
cut down at least 33 1-3 per cent. Tex
tile industries centering about Roubaix
report manufactures have fallen off
20 per cent under the eight-hour sys-
tenn, and enough operators to handle
the work cannot be found, Other in
dustries show similar figures.
The results of the investigation,
while disputed by labor organizations,
are accepted by the ministry as
6ffical.
