ALBANY, n. Y. Sept. 21.-For the
second time this year five Assembly
districts OF New York City will not
be represented in the State LeEisla-
ture. Tho Assembly tonight voted
to oust three OF the five reelected
Socialist Assemolymen and the other
two resigned.
BY n vote OF 90 to 45 Louis Wald-
man. August Claessens and Charles
Solomon were unseated by the State
Assembly. Socialist Assemblyman
Samuel Dewitt was allowed to retain
his seat by a vote of 81 TO 4S, and
Samuel Orr was seated by approxi-
mately the same vote. Both, how
ever. Immediately resigned.
Inasmuch as the Assembly has
seen fit to declare my colleagues as
disloyal and unfit to sit in this body.
1 allocate to myself the right to sit
In judgment on the ninety member RS
voting for this unconstitutional ac-
tion." Assemblyman Dewitt said.
Il refuse. Mr.. Speaker" continued
Assemblyman Dewitt. TO sit in u
body so un-Amcrican as to take the
action just accomplished"
Immediately after the Assembly
had taken action on the Socialists,
Assemolyman Martin McCue. Demo
crat. moved to reconsider the vote
on the three ousted Socialists on tho
ground that II two Socialists were
innocent all must per sc be inno-
cent.
PThis is the most ridiculous pro-
ceeding over accomplished in a legis-
iatlve body" MoCue said. His mo-
tion was voted down.
Tho expressed reason for the bal
ioting against Waldman. Claessens
and Solomon was that they were the
only gAssen,talymeE charged with per-
sonI disloyalty f1aat winter. ~

CLOTHING PRICES TO

Retail Dealers Convention in
Chicago Discusses Wages
and Prices.

CHICAGO. Sept. 21.- "clothing
prices must come down; they are too
high" Frederick Levy, president OF
the Retail Clothiers' Association, told
a thousand members of that organi-
zation, but clothing dealers from all
parts OF the country, who are here
to discuss the details Of the trade.
while confident woolens will be
cheaper in the spring. as manufac-
turers are beginning to catch up, are
a unit in declaring the price OF
clothes. however, will drop slowly
SO long as girls from Russia. who
were paid Sc weekly before the war,
are now drawing $45.
The average wage in the needle
trades Is SAT, dealers say. The sam
pie shop has gone. Bertha, the sew

the beauty show now.
The pocket makers arc the real
aristocrats in the clothing business
now. In some cases they get 500

that can take breakfast in bed.
Prices were the main topic of to-
days session, but tho consensus Of
opinion was that no radical drop In
prices would obtain until wages took
a drop to normal standards.
AT any rate, tho conservative ele-
ment In tho convention insisted that
with wages in the mills at the war
scale clothing this fall and winter
is likely to increase in price. and the
decline which Is expected to set in
In tho spring would be quite gradual.

IDAHO FALLS
PAPERS MAKE
CONSOLIDATION

The Idaho Register and the Idaho
Falls Times, both old newspapers of
Idaho Falls, have consolidated and
will soon begin the publication of
daily, made with the best equipment
and best brains from both firms.
The Register was a Republican,
semi-weekly paper, and The Times
was weekly, and Democratic in poll
tics. Both had good equipment, but
much Of it was getting out of date,
and neither one could afford to stock
up with new modern equipment
while the business was divided and
both were paying the full lineup. Of
overhead expenses, such as rent,
light, heat, taxes, insurance, water,
power, telephone, telegraph, freight,
express, reporting, writing, typeset-
ting, proof reading. printing, fold
ing, mailing, postage and all the
other bills that were being paid in
duplicate, but which were not in
creasing the revenues arising from
the workers. -.
Then there were the big bills for
labor and print paper, and the short
age Of supply Of both, which held
out the constant danger of closing
them up thru absolute failure Of
supply.
Senator M. B. Yeaman is to be
editor Of the new paper, to be called
the Times-Register, and w. 8. Snyder
from The Times office is to be the
business manager. Miss Leona Neff,
who for some time has been the
bookkeeper and assistant business
manager for The Register, will con-
tinue in the same position in the
larger operations of the new daily.

Dominant issue and women were vot-
ing for the first time.
Political sharps today said the lat
est figures showed that 1t was the
new women voters who had swung
the state Republican on the, eve OF
a presidential election by a majority
that fairly staggered the Republicans
themselves. They pointedrto the gov.
ernorship figures which read:
Returns from 587 out Of 632 cleo
ton precincts in the state gave Park
hurst 132,475; Mcintyre, Democrat,
6S.154. Republican plurality 64,-
321.
These same precincts in the last
presidential year, 1916, gave Mill
gen, Republican, 1928; Curtis,
Democrat, 65.873. Republican plu-
rality 1880.
The Democratic total had been
swelled by only slightly over 5000
while the Republican total had
mounted by $1,000.
This meant, the political. experts
said. that the new voters, the women,
had voted Republican.
Latest figures in the congressional
fights were:
First district, 756 precincts out of
ninety-one gave Beedy, Republican,
1907; Haskell, Democrat, 1893.
Second District, 140 precincts out
of 145: Congressman White, Re-
publican, 1890; Price 21,55S.
Third district, 102 precincts out
of 1928: Congressman Peters, Repub-
lican, 1851; Towle, Democrat,

Fourth district, 1928 precincts out
of 173: Congressman Jersey, Re-

10,047.

and Mcintyre won in these cities by
small majorities. In Augusta, the
gained nearly 1000
votes over their total of four years
ago. In Brewer the G. O. P. ticket
gained 500 votes and in Calais won
by plurality Of more than 5000.
In 1915 this city gave the Republi-
cans but fourteen votes.

today depends on the creation OF
joint-stock companies, and these de-
pend on the national circulation OF

of these is yet possible in Ireland.
There is no money market in Ire

Going out. l encountered the
neighbor with the convenient tele-
phone. "Who is that gentleman"
I asked, nodding toward the door.
THAT" he answered, lis one OF

The next morning I read, in con-
sentative London paper, that there
was reason to believe" that the Re-
publican government was "contem-
plating" activity in Ireland.
That Irish Wit
One thing that is not suppressed
in Ireland is the unquenchable spirit
of, Laughter among the people. Even
in these dark times an Irishman
never quite takes himself or the sit
uation seriously. Another member
Of this same commission-the secre-
tary, indeed, Mr.. Darrell Figgis-
very narrowly escaped hanging when
he went with this commission to the
west Of Ireland to hold an open hear
ing on some Industrial question. He
was arrested by an officer, court
martialed on the spot and sentenced
to be hanged. The officer even went
SO far as to send out for twenty
feet Of rope" and the Irishman
saved himself only by q verbal fili-
buster worthy of Robert M. LaFol-
lette. Had this protestant Irishmaa,
who has been disinherited Of
fortune because Of his Sim Fein
sympathies, been hanged the country
would have been ablaze with indig-
nation. AS 1t is, his satirical de-
scription Of the officer "awash with
liquor" his inimitable mimicry Of
the court martial, his picture Of him
self, cycling the rope and spinning
out long discourse upon the alb
solute necessity Of testing all cows,
while companion looked frantically
for less drunken officer with whom
to reason-the whole story is the
laughter of Ireland.
Nor does Ireland seem particularly
with the fate of the Of
ficer. He was given less important
post as consequence of his act. but
the rebuke was because of
attempted murder, or whether 1t was
because he failed, neither Figgis nor
Ireland appears to know
