Colored Women's Votes
Cause of Sufs Defeat

Winchester. Va, Feb. 24.-Sub-
mission to Virginia voters of the
question of Ewoman's suffrage has
nothing to do with the Susan B.
Anthony Federal amendment, ac-
cording to Senator II. +. Byrd. The
Anthony amendment, he said, was
defeated by the General, Assembly
chiefly because IL would not enable
Virginia to regulate the vote of
colored women as the vote of colored
men is now regulated.
The submission of woman's suf-
frage by State amendment has been
passed by the Senate, and the reso-
luton contains the same restric-
tions and qualifications as now ap-
ply to colored men. This is to be
voted upon by the people of Vir-
ginia in ithe fall of 1922.

Farmers Ask Hearing
On Cummins Rail Bill

George +. Hampton. managing di-
rector OF the Farmers National Coun-
Gil. has asked President Wilson on be-
half OF the council to give a hearing
to leading farm organizations who will
urge him to veto the Esch-Cummins
railroad bill.
Hampton points out that the bill
should be vetoed on the grounds of
public policy. citing an inevitably
heavy increase of freight rates If the
roads arc returned. Hampton claims
that 1900 farms were abandoned in
New York State last year because of
existing freight rates. The railroad
bill. he estimates. would put an added
burden of s1.2OOo0OcO a year on the
