That is, their qualifications as

must be the same as for men and
none other.
The effect Of the Amendment
is to remove from our Constitution
and Statutes all discrimination as
to sex so far as the qualifications
for voters are concerned.
Therefore, it follows that wo-
men who appear before the Board
Of Civil Authority at the appoint.
ed time for reg stration and who
qualify should have their names
placed upon the check list.
The provisions of Chapter of

You will be furnished with a
sufficient number of ballots to pro-

Wilkesbarre, Sept 1.-Three hun.
dred delegates representing sixty4five
of the 120 local unions in District
this afternoon unanimously adopted
resolution to take vacation until
the coal companies meet our de-
mands.'
The vote for vacation which is
the word used in place OF strike or
walkout, was taken after several
hours Ct discussion, only one voice,
that OF George Evans, being raised
against the proposed vacation.
Enoch Williams, who has led the in
surgents for several months, presided
at the meeting He declared that the
award of the anthracite wage commits
sion was unfair and that only the mi
nority report would be acceptable to
him. Other delegates followed his lead
and finally one suggested that the
miners take a xacaticn" until their
demands were met
Further argument followed and at 2
O'Clock delegate moved that we
take vacation until the coal compan
les grant our demands An aye and
no vote was called for by the chair
and not a voice was raised in protest,
Chairman Williams announcing that
the vote was unanimous. The conven
tion adjourned at Cnce The insur-
gents are prepared to carry out their
vacation plan on well defined lines.
There are now more than $4,000
men on strike in the three anthracite
districts. There are 175,000 men in
the anthracite fields and the general
indication is that by tomorrow morn
ing at least 100000 men will follow
the insurgent lead 1t seems practi-
cally certain that the anthracite in.
dustry will be seriously crippled and
that on'y a few coll.eries win be
able to operate as a result CT this out
law movement The strike may not
be of long duration. mas much as the
officers of the United Mine Workers
are prepared to combat the outlay
movement
There is a wholesome fear among
the insurgents of the strong arm Of
the law and for that reason no men
ton was made of strike or walkout
The insurgents believe the Lever act
cannot be used to whip them into line
inasmuch as they have only taken a
vacation. They propose, they say, to
continue this vacation indefinitely or
until their demands have been fully
met.
The move of the insurgents came
as no surprise 1t was generally be
lieyed they would take the action
they did, opposing the majority
award and using this as a means of
waging fight against the present
union administration and perhaps
usurping its powers While the va
cation" of the insurgents has all ap.
pearances of a protest against the
majority award, it is nevertheless a
move to give battle to the union as
ii is now led The situation simply
means fight within a fight

HARD TASK TO PICK
 PROBABLE WINNER
 OF KENTUCKY DERBY
By JAY SEE SEE

In trying to arrive at the probable winner of the Kentucky Derby it would be well not to eliminate Blazes. He was a useful twoyear- old.
 Some of the smart folks are also be- ginning to pay attention to Golden Bloom He is said to be in the pink of copdition and his trainer has always thought that next to Man O War he was the best two year-old out last year. He and Man O War wintered together in Maryland. and except in. stormy weather. spent every day in the open.
 If reliance can be placed on the news from Louisville, DamaslS is not so high ly regarded by the clockers al Churchill Downs as some of the other Derby can dldates in' training at that track. Da- mask was quite an indifferent two year-old and his reputation for prowess is confined altogether to his victory in the Louisiana Derby at New Orleans this year. in which he defeated poor lot of platers,
 Donnacona has been training well this spring and shows marked improve nent He was beaten by Doinique at Pimlico last fall, and that was not any thing to his credit.
 Wildair is a winner of this year and reports from his quarters to the effect tlat he is hard as nails.
 On Watch Is also fit, but has done no brilliant work.
 Bfazes and Prince Pal are highly thought of by both eastern and western racegoers.
 The race still looks to be quite an open affair.

Catcher Is Main
 Guy of Baseball
 Team,SaysLajoie

Although he is out of baseball Larry I.aioie, former star batsman of the American League, is having a lot of fun watching the major league hurlers trying to cut out the freak delivery, as per or ders of the powers at their big session early this year. Lajoie has not been heard to speak his mind on the matter di- major league managers placed entirely too much importance to pitching and not enough to the catching department
 The big Frenchman says he wants to be thoroughly understood as being in favor of first-class pitching. But me catcher is the real handspring of any ball club after all," said Larry, because he corresponds to the quarterback on foot ball team"
 I1aioie was in reminiscent mood. lie recited some of the wonderful pitching accomplishments of Cy Young, and then asked how many of those wonderful games Cy would have annexed had it not been for the work of Chief Zimmer anu O'Connor. Both of these receivers were of the brainy type and not infrequentiS made it possible for Young to work out of a hole by the exercise of little strategy at the plate.

 According to Lajoie, the catcher has the best opportunity to get information ch the batter Not only can be get infor- nation on the man at bat, but he can communicate with the pitcher through a code of signals. Larry says he would like to have an expression from some of the star fingers of few years bacN. 'I never sought their opinion on this matter" he declared, but l would pc willing to lay little bet that everyone of them will give their catcher a lot of credit for their success. Lajoie pre- diets the umpires will become more dis gusted with the rules against freak pitch- ing. than the pitchers themselvees. be . cause the indicator handlers will he oo- liged to watch every move of the mound man.

 The first punt between the two champions lasted an hour or more. and seemed to be destined for a tie when Albright put Demetral on his head on the mat so hard that the referee gave the first heat to the visitor. Demetral came back strong for the second punt, and much in the same way put his mug

1T AcK DEMPSEY is "readinging'' up for the prize ring once more. After nine months devotion to theatri- calls, the circus and the movies, the king-pin fighter of the world is condi- tioning himself for his first battle in de- fense of his crown.
 The date-July 5-has been set And the place is Benton Harbor, Mich, not far from Chicago. The opponent had not been selected at this writing.
 T don't care who it is, only hope he's a tough one, says Dempsey. "Carpen, tier, Fulton. Brennan, Martin-any of 'em will do. I want to swap punches with somebody worth while. So 1 hope they'll bring on the toughest bird the-s got"
 Dempsey means that. He doesn't want setups. Dempsey has the utmost confi- dence in himself He fears no living nah. So why should he worry whether his foe is merely human punching bag Tor first-rate fighter?
 ANXIOUS TO FIGHT
 Dempsey is wild to resume fighting. l was with him often in Los Angeles while he was fulfilling his movie contract And he thought of Dothing but fight fight-fght. He went through with his movie work because he was under con- tract to do it. But he wasn't happy about it. What he wanted was for the time Id come when he would be free to- take on all corners.
 'sI.n, the champion because I whipped Willard, who was the best man in the game at the tine,'' said Dempsey. Since

, then lot of fellows have come to the
 surface who are entitled to a crack at
 me. Carpenter, of course, is ranked as the leading aspirant I'll give him fight jus. as soon as it's possible for me to
 do so. Then there's Fred Fulton toss ing around challenges. The big plas- terer has ''come back in great shape
 since I socked him to sleep two years ago with couple of pokes. And I see no reason why Fred shouldn't get the cnance to let me prove once more that l can whip him every time I get the chance.
 Bob Martin-or, rather, his manager, wanted to fight me. too. No objection to it, none at ak In fact. Id rather well come bout with Martin. But lately, since Roy Smith gave Martin a nice beating, Martin hasn't been doing so much manting. and hi smanager hash t been footing so many toots on the pub licity horn.

 SIX POSSIBLE OPPONENTS That makes about six public choices for crack at me. Pleases me to know lthat the more opponents I have the mer- rier. I was pretty active before l be- came champion, and I expect to be just about as busy after June.'' Dempsey is fit as a fiddle right now. Ii fact, there hasn't been a day since he won in Toledo that he hasn't been in such shape that he could have jumped Iiatc a bout on seventy-two hours nc tice and fought a marvellous fight. For Dempsey treasures. above all else, his physical condition, and never has let him. self get out of fighting shape. The champion, all during his stay in Los Angeles, worked out daily. He was mere strenuous about it than most men are who are trying to whip themselves into "the pink" for battle ten days later
 Dempsey notches around 195 now and is as hard as nails. It is doubtful if he will scale less than 192 for his next fight. against 1S7 in Toledo. So it can
 be seen that he is carrying little fat on
 his mighty frame.
 The champion, working out near ~.n
 Francisco, is boxing with small men
 Denny. a middleweight: Mahoney, a
 lightweight, and O'Fiara. a bantam. He
 tried to get some huskies so he could try
 out his punch on them, but he found no

 now to want to risk the Dempsey wal
 lops.
