II the final State to ratify the amend

TENNESSEE WILL
ACT ON SUFFRAGE,
SAYS GOVERNOR
Yields to President Wilson's Re-
quest for Special Session OF
Legislature.
MAY BE THIRTY-SIxTH

knoxville. Tenn. June 24.-That he
would comply with the request of Presl-
dent Wilson, and call the Tennessee
Legislature in Special Session for action on
the suffrage amendment to the Federal
Constitution, was announced here last
night bv Gov. A. ii. Roberts, who is here
from Nashville.
The Legislature would he called to
meet. the Governor said, in plenty of time
TO permit the women of the United States
10 vote in the November election provid-
cd ratification of the suffrage amendment
WAS completed through favorable action
by Tennessee.
The governor declined to comment on
the constitutionality of the legislature
act should favorable vote on the sui
frage amendment be recorded, saying
that matter was in the hands of state At
torney-General Thompson, who has 1t
up for advice with the Department of
Justice At Washington.
The question of the consttutlonality
of the legislatures action iii event of
ratification would hinge on n clause IN the
state const tuition which provides that an
action on federal amendment must be
taken by a legislature, the members OF
which have been elected after the amend
ment WAS submitted TO the state. The
members of the legislature TO be called IN
special session were elected previous TO
submission by Congress of the suffrage
amendment The recent decision of the
Supreme Court in the Ohio referendum
case has been interpreted by some legal
experts, however, as invalidatng the
clause.
IL is believed here that, with the OBJ
stscles to ratification enterposed by the
state Constitution removed by the recent
decision of the United States Supreme
Court IN the Ohio referendum case, as IS
claimed. the action of the Tennessee Legs
lsture will be favorable on the question,
although there are many strong opponents
Of suffrage among the members.
The women of Tennessee already have
presidential suffrage, and the right 10
vote in all elections and for all officials
not barred by the State Constitution.

i. 5. DROPPING WOMEN
WORKERS FOR SOLDIERS
Girls in Government Offices Are
Being Dismissed in Droves;
Ex- Soldiers Get Call.

Washington, June 24.-Emploves in
Government Offices in Washington are
being dismissed By the hundred this
week, In preparation for the reduced
appropriations, which take effect with
the new fiscal wear
By July the number OF employees here
will be less than 10000, compared TO
90, 600 on June /, according TO the esti-
mate given at the Office of the Civil Ser
vice Commission today
A significant fact noted by the COM
mission officials is that nearly all en-
ployes being dropped are young women
who came to Washington as war work
eTs. The result is that the proportion of
women in the Government employ is de-
creasing rapidly.
A similar condition is reported in all
places over the country where women
were given employment by the Govern
ment during the war. At one time il was
estimated that one-fifth of the 425 900
persons occupying places under civil SER
vice were women. Now the pre-war pro-
portion OF woman 10 10 men is being ap-
preached
This change is taking place, notwith-
standing the fact that the Civil Service
Commission now includes a woman mem
Der, and that former rules discriminating
against women I'D civil service examinations
have been set aside.
"The principal reason is the Soldier
Preference law, put into effect in March,
1919" is the explanation given.
Since that time approximately go per
cent of che new employees of the Gov
ernment have obtained their places un-
der the preference statute, which puts
all former service men who pass exami-
nations at the head Of the employment
registers.

Woodrow Wilson.
HARDING HAD REFUSED.
In this telegram President Wilson has
done the very thing with regard to the
consideration of the suff rage amend
ment by the Tennessee Legislature that
Senator Harding refused to do when asked
to use his influences with the Governors OF
Connecticut and Vermont to hasten ratiil-
cation Of the suffrage amendment by
calling special sessions of the Lcgislatu res
of their States.
MIR. Harding Tuesday told the sui
frage delegation, which included a num-
Der Of women prominently idcnhned
with the Republican Party, that, while
he had voted in the Senate for woman
suffrage, and nothing would please him
more than to have the ratification oil
the amendment made effective To give
American womanhood 'full participa-
ton in the election of next November,
he could not, with propriety, attempt
to force any State Executive to hasten
action in violation of his own sense OF
duty"
At the headquarters of thevNatlonal
Woman's Party tonight leaders who
have been foremost in the efforts made
during the last month to obtain ratiiiea-
tion of the suffrage amendment by Del
aware or Louisiana, and have resorted
to every possible strategic move TO per-
suade the Government of Tennessee, Con-
necticut or Vermont to call special ses-
sions. were jubilant over the Presidents s
