PRETTY SOFT FOR
 THE HELLO GIRLS THIS SUMMER
Telephone Company Leases Hotel Pembroke for Them and
 Wallops Old H. c. l..
BOARD AT $12 A WEEK

 It Grand and Glorious?

The Southern New England .Te1e- phoen Company has hit the high cost of living at a summer hotel at the sea- shore wa11op from which. the H. C.. of L. will not recover till the end of the summer season.
 When the big Vacation House, form er1y the Hotel Pembroke at Woodmont leased for the season by the Company as a recreationa1 center for its female employees, formally opens on May 2oth, the price lists for rooms and board by the week and for lodging and meals over week end will amaze the aver age hotel man and guest alike. The price scale Is not only moderate and modest, but reads like those good old days before the era of ginger ale, com munity singing and altitude records in prices of all of 1ife's necessities.
 There are about 60 guest rooms at the s. N. E. T. Vacation House and the economical business plan permits the company to offer its girls, room and board, on a substantial three-a-day basis, for $12 week. There are slight ly higher rates, these being determined by the room which the guest selects But all the rooms are large and cheer full with all the comforts of home and more.
 The telephone girls have things swiftly moving their way when sum mertinae pleasures are considered, for in addition to the lodging and the meals for SIP and $14 per week, the company will provide at these amazingly low rates number of special entertainment features free of charge There will be weekly hops on Friday.nights in ball. room that is 73x37 feet and a large orchestra to furnish the music No ad- n1ittance fee will be charged. Bathing houses equipped with shower baths will be provided without charge to the guests; a tennis court will be at their free disposal; two Victro1as will fur nish music nightly for dancing on the broad verandas; trained nurse will be in attendance at all times; par1or bowling alley will be installed; a hostess and two assistants will attend the con- ventiona1 duties of chaperons. All for SIP a week or little more. Can you beat 1t? As Mr. Keller would inquire.

POLITICAL PARTY JURISDICTION NOT
 LABOR PROGRAM
Non Partisan Plan Doesn't As sume to Dictate
 Affiliations.

Washington, May 14-The A. F. of L. does not assume political party juris- diction over trade unionists, and before it could it must abandon guarantees to every individual member of organized labor and acquire new power from affiliates, said A. F. of L. Secretary Frank Morrison in letter i'll which is stated the non-partiasn political theory of the A. F. of L.
 "The organized workers" said Sec retary Morrison, ''have consistently op- posed the turmoil and distraction of partisan politics which would dilute and in many cases has destroyed militant trade unionism.
 Fourteen years ago (19O6) the Minneapolis convention oT the A. F. of l.. declared:
 "We are not political party. We disclaim political party jurisdiction. We set tp no claim of authority over the could not, If we would, for all the political authority we might assume, violate the protection due every man from the union which grants him his card.
 If we are to create new tests of regularity in unionism, we must first obtain new power from the affiliated bodies which make up tne Federation
 ''The A. F. of L. has no authority to declare for aught but the non-par- tisan political policy" continued Secre- tary Morrison. Contrary action would do violence to the theory of voluntary action by wage earners which IS con- stantly urged by the Federation and would annul the guarantee of political freedom that IS assured every member of the Federation.
 This guarantee has grown out of the experience of the workers, express ed i'll their national and international union conventions, in their constitu- tions and bylaws, and later rehexed by delegates from these unions to the annual conventions of the A. F. of l..
 "To say that 1t is time to make a change while trade unionists insist on rigidly maintaining the economic char acter of their organizations, refuse to be told how to vote and decline to turn their union meetings into political cau- cuses, Is to ignore the first essentials of correct reasoning.
 Tn the light of history and facts, the claim that any individual trade unionist or group of trade unionists are responsible for the A. F. of L. non- partisan policy is mere assertion.
 Trade unionists are not impelled i'll their present course by sentiment or by a stubborn refusal to take the easiest way
 They reject sentiment when discuss ing plans to combat social injustice and their experience teaches them that there is no easy way to right wrongs that only disappear after long and persist ent agitation that eventually develops an enlightened public opinion"

LABOR'S ACTIVITY
 BRINGS NOTICE IN
 REACTIONARY CAMP
Even "Standpats' in Congress Get Jolt and Begin
 Thinking.
NINE OPPONENTS LEFT
These Will Be Retired by Non- Partisan Plan Now in
 Full Swing.

Washington, May 14.-Labor's record activity in applying its 40-year system of non-partisan political action IS re- flexed Ill congress.
 Out of the entire membership of over 800 members in the national law mak- ing body, but nine of these-three i'll the senate and six in the house-voted in favor of excluding organized gov ernment employees from retirement benefits, as provided in me retirement bill just passed.
 But nine law makers were willing to go on record against a fundamental right, after a lengthy campaign of vituperation and misrepresentation against organized labor that is un- equaled in the history of the American paign was to create a public sentiment that would make possible the passage of an anti-strike law and sedition leg islation that could be used to block all agitation of the workers for better conditions.
 These enemies of labor were III clover a few months ago and were acclaimed as patriots" by every cheap-labor ele- ment Organized labor IS now arrang- ing to retire these enemies to private life, and the present scheme to post pone anti-strike legislation until the next congress will be further amended when the votes are counted in Novem- ber.e With this reactionary element swept aside, congress can devote itself to constructive legislation.
 Reports of the A. F. of L. national non-partisan political campaign com mittee indicate widespread deter imitation of labor to defeat its enemies and elect trade unionists or known friends of progress.
 State committees are being organized through state federations of labor and city committees are being organized through city central bodies. Thousands of local unions have also elected com mittees and this number is constantly increasing.
 These committees keep in close touch with the A. F. of L. committee, which is supplying records of senators and congressman, providing literature, or ganizing national corps of four-min- ute speakers and arranging a system for voluntary contributions of $1 to be handled entirely by local committees in meeting necessary expenses for halls, local printing, etc.
 All committees are urging trade unionists and other friends of progress to take an active part in primaries and to register that they may qualify to vote. In many localities the primary choice is equivalent to an election and the old policy of leaving primaries and minor conventions to the agents of re- action is abandoned. Trade unionists are awakening to the importance of the primaries and in many early local cleo tions they have wrought political up heavals this year by entering the pri- maries and smashing carefully prepared states.
 There is no part of our political sys- tenn that can be ignored by workers. Every link in the chain is important the primary, caucuses that elect to con- ventions, nominating petitions and con- ventions are all vital. Not one step can be overlooked if citizens are to have government of, by and for the people. !"

WON'T STAND FETCHED.
Blatant Blanton Gets Peeved at
 Congressional Fellows.

Members of congress won't stand hitched when 1 present a motion to re- quire government employees to separate from the A. F. of L." said Congress- man Blanton in a lecture to his col leagues The Texas law maker was in mournfu1 mood. Only five members voted with him. Blanton has harangued the house in season and out of season on organized labor. His suggestions, generally, are supported by himself, but this time he was aided by five others, three of whom are from his own state.
 When Blanton recovered from his knock out he came back with his stale vaudeville act. This time he blamed President Gompers and the A. F. of L. for blocking the deportation policy of the department of justice.
 Anarchy is in our midst" screamed B1anton. What is it that has us bound hand and foot so that we can not function? What is 1t that even makes us whisper when we would discuss this evil? There is but one answer: MT. Samuel Gompers and the American Federation of Labor"
 The few members of the house who were present yawned, B1anton finally subsided and the old ship of state con- tinued on her way.

PRICE OF ATHLETIC
 GOODS DUE TO SOAR
Poor Man Is Barred From Privi- lege of Exercising.
Walking Is Only Thing That Won't Cost More If 1t Is Done in Bare Feet = Increase Hits Every
 Sporting Article in Sight.

Exercise is no longer a poor mans privilege.
 Inquiry among leading sporting goods dealers showed that prices of all sporting goods are coming up this year.
 The only thing that won't cost more is walking if you do it in your bare feet. Hiking shoes will cost from S1O to $15, an increase of 20 per cent.
 The increase hits every sporting article in sight and even that which isn't. Athletic underwear is on the upward grade.
 There'll be twice as many baseball teams this year as last year." predict ed an official of a big sporting goods house.
 ye6r will be in golf. Boomers for women and a new set of iron clubs which allow the golfer to hit the ball from any angle are being displayed. There are ten clubs to the set.
 Swimming suits will be one-piece af- fairs this year-both for men and wom- en. Mems suits will be the baggy af- fairs of old, but women will have a creation in colors.
 Under the new list of prices, just out, baseballs will cost 50 cents more League balls will cost $2.50 apiece. Balls for sand-lot games will cost 50 cents. Baseball gloves will cost as high as $25. The cheapest will be $1 "a boys fielding glove. Baseball shoes which sold last year for SIP now cost $21: chest protectors and masks have increased.
 Golf clubs will cost $6 and upward, while the minimum charge for golf balls will be 60 cents.
 Footballs, boxing gloves. weight ex- ercisers, punching bags, basketballs and other sporting parapherna1ia ex- perience similar boosts in prices.
 The increase is due to higher costs of labor and material. it was said.

So the main hope Tor ratincauon came right back to the special ses- sion. Six governors in all called special sessions during the brief month of February. Three more called special sessions in March. Thirty-fye states acted on the amendment be- tween June 5, 1919, and March 9, 1920 Not one of the eighteen preced- ing amendments to the federal con- stitution has made such a time record in view of the number of ratifca- tions needed in each case; a federal amendment today needs three times as many notifications as were needed to ratify the twelfth, for instance, which has held the speed record up te now.

for meals to week end guests. Lodging will be 50 cents night in a large dor mitory that IS now being fitted up. The same charge will be made for lodging in a S12 week room, but will be slightly higher in the larger rooms.
 For the week enders dinner will be served as the evening meal on Satur- days. The girls coming down from up state on that day will want substantial meal when they arrive and the evening meal will be made dinner on Satur- days for their accommodation. This meal will cost 65 cents and 1t will be a regular meal, too. Breakfast will be 35 cents and supper 45 cents. The three meals daily will cost each guest $1.45. These rates will make a week end trip, which includes dinner on Saturday evening, lodging Saturday night and three meals on Sunday, cost week end guest only $2.60. This for a real outing at the shore with free bathing facilities and all the other resort. Again can you beat it?
 In the opening night, May g, there will be a dance and entertainment for all the telephone people
 Opening on this date makes it possi- ble for the young ladies of the Te1e- phone Company to go to Woodmont for the dance that evening and remain over Sunday and Monday, because Memorial day will be observed on Sunday June 1st.

MOST POPULAR AMENDMENT IN THE HISTORY OF THE
 AMERICAN CONSTITUTION

Within three weeks from the date 1t was signed in June. 1919, nine states had ratified the Federal Suffrage Amendment That was one-fourth of the total number required. Of those nine states seven were already in ses- sion and could make quick work of ratification. After that it was ques- tion of calling special sessions for the special purpose of ratifying, as all the other 34 legislative sessions of 1919 had closed Yet so widespread was the sentiment for ratification that within three months, in spite of ex- pense, in spite of summer heat, in spite of everything, eight states had called special sessions Before the end of 1919 five more had called special ses- sions and ratified. January, 1920, was ushered in by ratification in two states that held regular sessions. Another state, New Jersey, took advantage of it's regular session to ratify in Febru- ary. But 1920 is not a Legislature year" s7s%7 Hs

who was twice reported dead in the
world war, returned safely and per-
sonally denied both statements. but
today he received a wreath of aow-
ers for his funeral"

the flowers, SO he sent them to the
home of Samuel Payer, who was
killed in an automobile crash
Wednesday. ..
En1ich and his father were riding
in the car that killed PAYER, but both
escaped death.

shot three times, one bullet exploding
in his right arm. He was first re-
ported dead in a message from
France, saying he had been killed in
action. Still later another message
placed him among the casualties.
The last announced he had met death
