SILENT PICKETS
AIR PROTESTS
Militant Sufragettes Cover
Much Territory in Ban
ners and Placards.
(Bx . stan Cerresponaeat.l

Chicago, June s. All the
women politically inclined were
not inside the Coliseum today
when the Republican convention
began. There was an army out
side-an army of pickets and the
delegates were given a taste of
what it means to live in the White
House. There was no noise. no
riot. Everything was concentrated
in a silent protest by means of
banners and placards.
From the viewpoint of these
women pickets many are the ills
which afflict humanity. The geo.
graphical limits reached from Ire
land to the Atlanta penitentiary.
The militant suffragette section
of the National Woman's party
made 1t country wide. They asked
embarrassing questions-silently. Of
course-why woman wasn't eman-
cipated.
I'VE are here. 20.soo.ooo of u.s."
read the banners, but where is
the thirty-sixth Slater"
Then they wanted to know what
the convention was going to do in
order to get amnesty for political
offenders. The queries were to the
point, even IL not vociferous. They
referred to Debs in particular. The
delegates, as they filed into the big
building. looked on, smiled and dis
appeared.
There was a big sign spread
across the street pointing out that
Ireland Is not yet free. There was
something about oppression. and
tyranny. but few of the members
of the convention had a chance to
read much. as a solid row of six
foot policemen blocked the view.
The pickets had looked for trou-
BILE, but failed to find it. The cops
looked on good naturedly. and let If
go at that. So long as the women
didn't block the sidewalks they
were let alone.
Again 1t might be pointed out
that 1t was a great day for the
emancipated women inside. as well
as for those who considered them
selves in chains Non the outside.

two most important measures, the
army and navy pay-bill and the law
for the reorganization of the army
on a peace basis.

of any period. the shipping act for
the upbuilding of the American
marine and the settlement of affairs
of the Shipping Board and the law

measure of economy and sound A.
rancial administration. are conspic-
uous as our latest achievements"
Turning to the cost of living and
the rise of prices, Senator Lodge
said some of the sources of this
trouble can and would be reached
by legislation by the Republican
party. The enforcement of present
laws and the enactment of others
against the profiteer and the de-
crease of the circulating medium,
the Senator said, would have a bene-
ficial effect in lowering costs. The
most essential remedy, he added,
was to keep up and increase pro-
duction.
Calling. the railroad act "a single
great law which in any period
would be sufficient to distinguish a
Congress as one of high accomplish
ment," Senator Lodge said the act
established the national policy that
the government must have a large
measure of control over the trans
portation systems of the nation, and
prevent class dominance through
government ownership. He also de-
clared positively against all forms
of government ownership of public
utilities.

The crowd around the hotels is
full of pep. The camp followers of
both sexes are no less numerous
than before. The souvenir salesman
on the street; the button distribut-
or around headquarters: the busy
tipster with the inside stuff"-all
are just as active as ever. Sor,
drinks are sold to cheerless groups
of two or three in the once pop

but only slightly less drinking. Here

ing the Volstead act is hailed as a
dark horse and a favorite son.
